About Kathryn
Biography
I am a real estate, small business and litigation attorney with 20 years experience. Having practiced at large law firms, local government, and in-house at various property management companies in Allegheny County, my experience and contacts lend themselves well to most clients' real estate and small business needs. I am also a landlord and enjoy assisting new or experienced landlords with leasing language and evictions/collections.
Wakefield Law Group, P.C. is here to assist you with raising equity for real estate deals, closings, property mangement/landlord-tenant, and initiating or defending lawsuits for problems like seller disclosure issues, collections, breach of contract and other claims. We also handle estate planning and administration, powers of attorney and pretty much anything that does not involve divorce/custody law, personal injury or criminal charges, though we certainly can refer you to the right people if your needs fall into those categories.
VentureLaunch, LLC is a subsidiary handling business start-up filings and counseling including LLC's, S-Corps, Partnerships and trusts. VentureLaunch's mission is to assist new business owners at a lower cost than most attorneys charge but with more responsiveness and personal attention than is offered by on-line self-formation websites.
Our affiliate, Allegheny County Deed Company ("ACDC, Deeds Done Dirt Cheap") may give away my age, but that's not the only thing we give away...realtors and investors who find themselves needing deeds repeatedly can enjoy a volume discount as repeat customers. We charge less than most attorneys for deeds and the more you need, the less you pay. Deeds start at $300 and the price is reduced by $50 per deed for a minimum charge of $150.

Stay away
Kathryn is unprofessional, disorganized, and undoubtedly these qualities will have an impact on your case and services provided. Outside council confirmed Kathryna incompetence. Kathryn cares about one thing in my experience and that is getting paid. After you give her money, don't expect her to foll...

Stay Away – Unprofessional and Incompetent
Stay Away – Unprofessional and Incompetent I had a horrible experience with Wakefield Law Group, P.C. and would strongly advise anyone looking for legal counsel to look elsewhere. From the start, the communication was appalling. The staff and attorneys are incredibly condescending and frequentl...

She took my money and waited to file the necessary forms until it was too late. Turned very nasty and hard to deal with after the initial meeting

Disappointing experience
I hired the attorney for a real estate matter. Initially attorney Wakefield was responsive but that was not the case after paying the retainer. Email communication was unprofessional at times. The attorney would provide timelines in updates that were never met. Overall a costly, frustrating and dis...

Terrible Experience with KM Wakefield
I hired Kathryn Wakefield in April of 2022 to Open a Judgement. She was initially communicative and polite. She asked for a $1000 retainer and I agreed. As soon as she had my money she became uncommunicative. It has been a year since I hired her and she has still NOT filed the paper work to Open the ...
Kathryn Wakefield
Replied last September 26, 2023Mark, your comment is slanderous, as it implies that I did not refund your retainer. Your verbal abuse of my staff and complete lack of understanding of the process, while behaving as if you are some kind of authority were just disgusting. Folks, Mr. Know It All here got his retainer back after berating my staff and repeatedly ignoring email correspondence communicating the status of things. This reviewer is extremely rude, entitled and inaccurate.
