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.

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...

strongly not recommend
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 ...
Mark, 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.

Did not have a good experience
I hired Attorney Wakefield after seeing the good reviews here, but I did not have a good experience. Felt overpromised and underdelivered. Communication was difficult; she was quick to respond in the initial consult, but after we funded the retainer, it seemed our case was no longer a priority. Expe...
Elaine, your experience is reflective of the gross inaccuracy of your expectations of immediate attention despite signing an engagement letter acknowledging that you were not to expect any attention from my firm for the first 10 days after you paid and signed. The urgency of your matter was not sufficient for you to pay rush rates that you also agreed to pay in your signed contract, but urgent enough act as if my compliance with deadlines you signed off on was somehow hurting you beyond you not getting constant immediate attention. Try this with your doctor, your hairdresser, your banker, even at the line in the grocery store. You cannot just waltz in and have a professional drop everything for you when their time is promised to others. I did call your landlord, but by the time he called me back, it was after you fired me or failing to behave like your personal assistant.
