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.

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.

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.

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 ...
