This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

High Integrity, Value-Adding

My company (Mountain Regional Equipment Solutions) has the pleasure of using a few select legal professionals and I am honored to say that Todd Wakefield is a fantastic legal counselor. He is dedicated to the truth in all he does which adds value in navigating business and personal legal matters. I h...ave also had the pleasure of knowing him as a friend and man dedicated to his family and friends. Whether you are considering Todd as a lawyer, business consultant, or community volunteer you will be happy you did and the added friendship is just a bonus.

Todd did a great job for me, I highly recommend him.

Todd has the breadth of experience needed to quickly evaluate a variety of legal questions quickly and effectively. I recently underwent some corporate entity and balance sheet restructuring, and Todd was the person that enabled me to very quickly evaluate options, select a course of action, and addr...ess the necessary details to expadite execution.

Reliable Park City attorney

Has assisted with several legal matters for our businesses including setting up LLC's, litigation between our manufacturing company and a competitor... twice, and enabling an asset protection plan for our main companies by establishing a Holding Company for real estate assets. Very knowledgeable, pro...fessional, trustworthy.

Highly Recommend

Todd’s counsel was exceptional and resulted in a fair and appropriate resolution of my dispute. Throughout the process, Todd encouraged me to keep my analysis of the situation as objective as possible and not allow emotional considerations to affect my decision. Todd made it abundantly clear that an...y decision, to either settle or go to trial, remained entirely my own. He was incredibly knowledgeable of the facts, the law, and my options. Perhaps as importantly, Todd was quick to respond to my calls and never-ending questions, as well as a true pleasure to work with. I highly recommend the services of Todd Wakefield.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2015.

Public Reprimand issued in UT, 2015

updated on 10/23/2018

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Todd’s comment:

“My client wished to settle claims against his prior lawyers based on their breach of fiduciary duties owed to him. One of the terms he offered was to not provide documentation of their ethical breaches to the Bar, and to withhold consent for me to do so. The prior lawyers asserted that the offer not to report their misconduct was itself a breach of professional rules, and Bar counsel agreed. Although I disagreed with Bar counsel's conclusion, I accepted it and stipulated to a reprimand.”
