About Law Office of Daniel Etoh
Law Office of Daniel Etoh is a solo general practice based in North York, Ontario, licensed by the Law Society of Ontario. Daniel Etoh's legal training crossed three countries: an LL.B from Nigeria, two Master of Law (LL.M) degrees, and a doctorate in law (SJD) from Golden Gate University in California. That path led to admission to practice in Nigeria, California, and Ontario, and to more than 20 years handling litigation, mediation and arbitration, and corporate and commercial matters.
The practice covers a wide range of areas: family law, immigration, criminal defence, civil litigation, business and corporate law, charity law, administrative law, landlord and tenant disputes, wills and estates, and mediation and arbitration. On the corporate side, the firm sets up non-profit corporations and registers them with the Canada Revenue Agency as registered charities so they can issue donation receipts, something a plain non-profit can't do. It also draws on Etoh's familiarity with Nigeria's licensing rules to help clients set up businesses in that country's oil and gas sector. Daniel Etoh is on the Legal Aid Ontario roster for criminal, family, and refugee matters.

The neighbourhood
The firm's office sits in a multi-tenant business park at 1183 Finch Avenue West, in the part of North York the city's business improvement association calls Duke Heights. It's one of Toronto's larger business districts, a mix of manufacturing, retail, and service companies well served by the 400 series highways, GO transit, and the subway, useful for a practice that handles business, corporate, and immigration matters for clients who need to get to the office from across the region.
The building itself is a commercial office park rather than a legal row, sharing space with other small businesses in the same complex, a practical, workaday setting for a general practice that mixes courtroom files with corporate paperwork.
