One of the highest-rated law firms in Waterloo, going by its Google reviews.
Travers Law is a Waterloo Region firm that focuses on real estate, wills and estates, and business law, with some family law too. Don Travers founded it in 1981, originally under the name Paquette Travers, so it's been part of the local legal scene for more than forty years. Over that time it's grown to four offices, in Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, and Milton.
Real estate is the core of the firm's work, and it's built around flat-fee pricing. The cost is set for each stage of a file rather than billed by the hour, so there's no meter running. Appointments can be done virtually, and the firm can close a purchase, sale, or refinance anywhere in Ontario, not just in its office cities.

The neighbourhood
Travers Law's Kitchener-Waterloo office is at 423 King Street North, on the main street running through Uptown Waterloo. The ION light rail runs along King Street, and Highway 85 (the Conestoga Parkway) meets King Street a short way north, so it's easy to reach from across the region.
Because the firm offers virtual appointments and closes files across the province, clients aren't limited to these office cities. Travers Law can close a purchase, sale, or refinance anywhere in Ontario.
