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...appointing experience for this former client.

Successful monetary claim results

Kathryn gave us very clear explanation on options available to us on initial contact regarding property sale dispute. Once hired she kept us informed on our claim status. She never talked down to us or used legalize. We were more than satisfied with the monetary amount received without having to g...o to court. She definitely knows real estate law. We highly recommend Kathryn Wakefield.

Helped out at the minute

I needed Kathryn to handle a real estate closing for my parents at the last minute, and she was very helpful and accommodating. She was very communicative and conscientious. Her help was greatly appreciated!

Real Estate Complaint Resolution

We filed a complaint against a real estate agent and seller for failing to disclose a significant problem with a property that we purchased. I think it was a complicated case and difficult to prove. Kathryn is very knowledgeable and did an excellent job preparing the case, communicating with all ...parties involved and crafting the complaint document. She successfully negotiated a settlement and avoided going to trial. Highly recommended.
