About Law Office of Clifford E. Dresner
The Law Office of Clifford E. Dresner is a solo real estate law practice based in Aurora, Ontario, serving Newmarket, Aurora, Bradford, and York Region. Clifford E. Dresner has practiced law since 1981, the year the practice opened its first office on Main Street in Newmarket. The office started small: no secretary, no photocopier, a single rented typewriter, and one phone line. As the practice grew, it expanded to employ two full-time secretaries.
In the late 1980s, the practice narrowed its focus to real estate, mortgage, and condominium work, while continuing to handle wills and estates. After nearly 38 years at 39 Parkside Drive in Newmarket, the firm relocated to its current office at 16 Industrial Parkway South in Aurora. Dresner holds credentials as a Barrister and Solicitor and a Notary Public, and the firm still provides notarial services such as travel letters, affidavits, and certified copies alongside its real estate and estate work.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The firm's Aurora office is inside Apple Suites, a shared executive office building at 16 Industrial Parkway South close to the Aurora GO station. Rather than leasing traditional standalone space, the practice meets clients in the building's boardroom by appointment, while day to day work is done from a home office.
That's different from the firm's longtime office at 39 Parkside Drive in Newmarket, where the practice operated for nearly 38 years before moving to Aurora. The current office keeps the firm within the same part of York Region it has served since 1981.
