Since 1974, Windsor families and businesses have trusted this firm with their toughest legal problems. Founded by Albert S. Chodola, we built our reputation on civil litigation and insurance work, and that work still anchors what we do. 

As of July 1, 2026, the same team carries a new name: Stipic Binder Drake Reynolds LLP, formerly CRB Law.

A New Name, the Same People

The name changed. Almost nothing else did. You will reach us at the same number, work with the same lawyers, and get the same standards we have held for half a century. What is new is our range. Three lawyers, Milan Stipic, Corinne McConnell, and Erada Sadiq, have joined us, bringing added strength in corporate, real estate, and estate work for the clients who need it most.

What We Handle

We are not a full-service firm, and we do not try to be. We concentrate on the areas we know well and handle them with care:

  • Business and corporate law 
  • Employment law 
  • Wills, estates, and estate administration
  • Estate litigation
  • Real estate law
  • Insurance law
  • Personal injury law
  • Family law 

How We Work

We keep your file moving toward a practical result and we do not run up costs on steps that will not move your matter forward. When a step will get results, though, we act without delay. We lean on technology to cut delays, review files regularly, and write in plain English instead of legalese, because your time matters as much as the outcome.

We treat clients, and other lawyers, with integrity and fairness, and we work hard to protect your rights at every turn. The result is experienced, efficient representation with honest advice you can act on.

Decades of Windsor experience, now with added depth:

Our Style

We are committed to keeping all files moving towards the most cost-effective solution for our clients. We do not believe in incurring the expense of initiating motions and interlocutory proceedings unless some real result that is useful to the closing of the file can be achieved. On the other hand, if proceedings call for such measures and will achieve such an end, we will not delay in seeking instructions to bring them. We do not believe in “making law” at our clients’ expense, but we see to it that your rights are staunchly protected.

We are also committed to reducing costs and delays through the use of technology. We are prepared to accommodate our systems to the technological requirements of our clients as well.

Our files are regularly reviewed, and all requests and undertakings are proactively traced through our bring-forward system, which keeps track of all letters out requesting information. Our reporting letters are in ordinary English, not legalese, since we see it as our task to make the clients’ own review process as easy as possible. We are also pleased to adopt any file management system which assists your own internal review requirements, and are pleased to have regular meetings with you to review status and strategy.

We serve Windsor, Tecumseh, LaSalle, Belle River, Kingsville, Leamington, Chatham-Kent, Sarnia-Lambton, and clients across Ontario. Call (519) 254-6433 or contact us online to talk through what you need.
