The absolute best

Mrs Wakefield worked with me for nearly 2 years on a breach of contract lawsuit. The case was emotionally exhausting. Daielle was thorough, attentive, compassionate and trust worthy. I wouldn’t have wanted any other attorney representing me through this process. I will definitely use her again and ur...ge anyone looking for an attorney to give her a call.

Legal Dispute

I had a dispute with the San Diego school district for non payment. I reached out to Danielle and explained my issues. She broke down and explained the process very clearly on what it takes to file suite with the school district and the time line. She always keep me informed along the way and wa...s very accessible. Best of all we had a very positive outcome. Danielle is easy to work and talk with. This makes a bad situation easier.

Perfect combination of HOA law expertise, efficiency and kindness!

Danielle is a wonderful lawyer. Her website drew me to her, because it is clear that she is an expert with HOAs. She graciously gave of her time during my free consultation and her expertise, combined with logical suggestions and kindness made her the perfect choice to handle my case. I interviewed... 3 different attorneys and none of them were as responsive or as well versed in HOA law as Danielle. My case was settled quickly and efficiently, because of her help. I recommend her with total confidence.

You Want Danielle on Your Side

Danielle helped me fight my HOA when they didn’t want to pay for mold remediation work caused by their negligence. I called several attorneys to get opinions and when I spoke to Danielle for the first time I immediately knew she was what I needed. She is fiery, aggressive, and extremely fair - exactl...y what you need in an attorney. Her response time is always so immediate and she just went above and beyond. Thanks to her, my HOA agreed to completely reimburse me for exactly the amount I asked for, plus, she got them to agree to pay for additional remediation work. I could not have done this without her. I highly recommend working with her - you won’t be disappointed!
