About Richard Law Office

Richard Law Office is a locally owned and operated practice that's served individuals, business owners and corporate clients in Kitchener-Waterloo and the surrounding parts of Ontario for over 30 years. Lawyer James W. Richard, B.A., LL.B., and the office's staff work in three areas: real estate law, corporate and business law, and estate planning and administration.

The practice is built for a wide range of people. That might be a young married couple getting ready to buy a first home, a professional ready to start a solo business, or a senior who wants a legacy secured and protected.

Files get support from clerks who each handle one side of the work: there's a senior real estate clerk, a corporate clerk and a dedicated contact for wills and estates matters. The office is at unit 108, 325 Max Becker Drive.

You can get in touch by phone, email or fax, or through the form on the contact page, and the office commits to responding without delay. There's also a toll-free line, 800-604-8113. Hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, and the office is closed on weekends.
