“I’m so proud to see that through my hard work and that of my team, we have built trust with our industry partners”
Victoria Coster,

Daniel J. Song is passionate about criminal law and strives to secure the best possible result for his clients while remaining humble. He has learned to embrace uncertainty and seize opportunities as they arise.
“As in life, I penned meticulous plans and chance scratched them out,” he explains.
Song believes his career has been meaningful thanks to the people in his life, and he values the memorable experiences he has shared with his colleagues.
His strength is evident in his slow and steady approach to working through legal issues, which, he acknowledges, can sometimes be frustrating. But that approach, while counter to the rapid and perfunctory law school training, has served him well, especially in appellate courts.
He struggles with completely unplugging during holidays due to an irrational fear of his practice suffering if he takes time off work. Although Song has progressed in the past few years, he has yet to muster the courage to set up an out-of-office automatic reply, turn off his phone, or leave his laptop at home.
“I try to avoid being seduced by self-importance and hold no hope that history will remember me,” he notes. “There are many incredible lawyers and non-lawyers who have accomplished remarkable things and whose feats have had a real-world impact; I just keep my head down, nurture my passion for criminal law, and do my best to honour my parents’ sacrifices.”

Coster brings depth and breadth of experience to her current position, having joined the industry as a mortgage processor before leaping into broking. She later honed her credit reporting education and credit repair skills for several years while working directly for various brokers.
“Starting Credit Fix Solutions was a deliberate move, as I saw there was a niche in ‘no win, no fee’ credit repair that the industry didn’t currently offer,” she says.
As a CEO, Coster learned through business coaching that there are no challenges in business, only opportunities to learn and grow. She wholeheartedly adopted that perspective, enabling her to overcome the obstacles inherent in team management and implement new and improved systems. She employs several strategies for challenging situations, such as following routines, forward planning, sleeping well and exercising.
“If I make sure I look after myself, have a plan of action, and I’m organised, then I can overcome any challenge (opportunity to learn) if and when it presents itself,” Coster says.
A firm believer in the power of leadership, Coster strives to set an example that the next generation of women and men can look up to. She prides herself on her reliability and trustworthiness and is the first person to show up and the last to leave the workplace.
“I’m genuinely keen to keep bettering myself,” she says. “Even now, at the top of my game, I’m still always learning.”
Guided by her favourite quote, “It’s better to be green and growing than ripe and rotting”, Coster constantly stokes her curiosity and keeps an open mind about life and business. Her kindness, positive attitude, business acumen and dedication to her profession make her a trusted and valuable partner to her peers and the mortgage industry.
