Drexler Law is a criminal defence practice led by Jordan Drexler. It was established in Kitchener-Waterloo in 2018 and works only in criminal and quasi-criminal defence, for people charged under the Criminal Code and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. The practice covers impaired driving, drug offences, assault, sexual assault, regulatory offences such as careless driving and unlawful hunting or fishing, and young offender matters under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Jordan Drexler handles bail hearings, trials, sentencing, and appeals, mostly across Waterloo Region and the surrounding parts of Southwestern Ontario. In 2026 the firm opened a second office in Port Elgin, extending its reach north into the Grey-Bruce area.
Jordan Drexler holds a B.A. from Wilfrid Laurier University and a J.D. from the University of Alberta. During law school, that meant volunteering with Student Legal Services, a clinic that helps low-income people facing criminal charges, followed by articling at an Alberta criminal defence firm on files that ranged up to murder, manslaughter, and drug trafficking. The firm prefers flat-rate fees, quoted before any work begins, and offers a free initial consultation. Payment plans can be arranged for those who need them, and the firm appears on the Legal Aid Ontario roster for criminal matters.

The neighbourhood
The Kitchener office sits at 42 College Street, in the city's downtown core. The Waterloo Region courthouse on Frederick Street, where the area's criminal matters are heard, is close by, which fits a practice built around bail hearings and trials.
The Port Elgin office is a different setting altogether. It's at 607 Mill Street, on the historic main street of a Lake Huron town in Saugeen Shores, Bruce County. Port Elgin grew up around mills on Mill Creek in the 1850s, and this second office puts the firm within reach of clients across Grey-Bruce, well north of its Waterloo Region base.
Frequently asked questions
- What kind of cases does Drexler Law take on?

Jordan Drexler handles bail hearings, trials, sentencing, and appeals.
- I've been charged with impaired driving in Kitchener. Can the firm help?

- Does Drexler Law take Legal Aid?

- How does the firm charge for a criminal case?
- Drexler Law prefers a flat rate over hourly billing, and that rate is quoted before any work starts so there aren't surprises on the bill. Payment can be made by cash, cheque, e-transfer, or credit card, and a payment plan can be arranged if it's needed.
