When you are charged with a criminal offence, it can be frightening trying to defend yourself from the unlimited resources of the state. The decisions you make can have long lasting consequences on your future and your family. At Drexler Law, I act only as a criminal defence lawyer for accused persons throughout Kitchener-Waterloo and the surrounding areas.
There are many specific rules to criminal law and the criminal justice system is complex. You need a lawyer experienced in criminal defence law. No matter the charge you face, I bring the same effort to planning your defence, advocating on your behalf, and fighting for your rights. When the state assembles their unlimited resources to prosecute you, you need to have a tireless advocate on your side.

Services
I practice exclusively in the area of criminal law. In most cases that means charges under the Criminal Code and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. I can assist with bails, trials, sentencing, and appeals. I also defend those charged with quasi-criminal or regulatory offences. Convictions for regulatory offences often have adverse consequences such as fines, license suspensions, permanent loss of license, and sometimes even jail.
At Drexler Law, I offer a free consultation to individuals that need assistance defending their criminal charges. During the initial meeting, the allegations are discussed and an initial assessment is made as to the services required. I prefer to charge a flat rate instead of an hourly rate. This flat rate is quoted to you before any work is done so that there are no surprises when you receive your legal bill.
The Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) governs drug possession. Only drugs that are listed in the CDSA as controlled substances may be illegal. The CDSA contains five schedules of controlled substances which are illegal to possess in certain situations. Although cannabis is no longer a controlled substance, the possession of it is restricted in certain circumstances.
The Supreme Court of Canada stated on several occasions that pre-trial detention is the exception, not the norm. This is especially true for youths under the age of 18. The Youth Criminal Justice Act governs young persons charged with criminal offences. The Act recognizes the diminished moral blameworthiness of young persons and provides for enhanced procedural protections.
There are two ways you can receive an administrative licence suspension for having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) over 0.05 but less than 0.08. First if an officer makes a demand that you provide a sample into an approved screening device (ASD), you might blow a "warn." This indicates that your BAC is over.05.

Jordan Drexler not only was very kind, patient and understanding, but also accommodated my mother’s case right away. He clearly explained the process with no embellishments or false promises. Before finding Jordan we called around Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph and Toronto. Originally we wanted someone who spoke Portuguese, but found people were not getting back to our calls, were pushy or 2-4 times the cost!!
My mother had a false case against her after having been attacked. Jordan not only made sure there was no criminal record, but a peace bond, he also returned some of the retainer because

I was his client for a long time as I was fighting charges in Kitchener. Long story short. He’s a Complete amateur, has very little if any experience in the court room when it comes to fighting for me and my case he let the crown take control and did barely anything to defend me in front of the judge. Made countless promises he could not keep, communication was so bad you would think he didn’t even own a cellphone or no how to use his email. Rarely listened to me the client. He is very unfit / lacks the basic tools needed in his field. Please save your time and your money and thank me later
