Free consultationAbout Morell Kelly
Morell Kelly is a personal injury law firm with its head office in Kitchener, Ontario, in the heart of Waterloo Region. Lisa Morell Kelly and Bruce Kelly founded it on February 1, 2004. Before starting the firm, both founders ran general litigation practices in the Ontario Court of Justice and the Ontario Superior Court, handling family, criminal, child protection, and general civil matters. With Morell Kelly, they narrowed the practice to a single field, and it's been restricted to personal injury ever since.
That focus covers motor vehicle accident claims, slip and fall injuries, and Canada Pension Plan Disability claims. The firm works on a contingency basis, so there's no fee until a settlement is reached in a client's favour, and it funds the litigation expenses itself, which means no out-of-pocket costs along the way. The firm puts its role plainly: insurance adjusters deal with injury claims every day, most people don't, and the firm sets out to even that up. Beyond the Kitchener head office at 182 Victoria Street South, Morell Kelly also keeps an office in Brantford and serves clients across Kitchener, Waterloo, and Brantford.

The neighbourhood
The head office sits at 182 Victoria Street South, one of Kitchener's main through-streets a short distance from the downtown core, which makes it straightforward to reach for clients coming from across Waterloo Region. Because a personal injury client is often recovering and traveling to appointments while a claim runs its course, the two-office setup matters here: the firm pairs the Kitchener office with a second one in Brantford, roughly 45 minutes south, so people in either area have somewhere closer to go rather than one address for the whole region.
