In this episode, we sit down with David Danielson as part of a continuation of Off the Tracks’ series, Going Solo. David is a founding partner of DK Law in Ottawa, a firm he opened with his friend from law school directly after they completed their articles. Prior to his legal career, David worked as a computer scientist with the federal government. We kick off this episode by sharing how Kijiji brought David and Piper together way back in 2014. We later dive into how David has used the referrals to build his practice, his experience teaching in the Paralegal program at Algonquin College, how he sets clear expectations with his clients, and how a single speeding ticket led David to appear at the Court of Appeal in Quebec. (You can find David’s speeding ticket journey on CanLii here and here!)
