About Danielle
Biography
You can reach me at danielle at wakefield law firm dot com (all one word) and search g00gle for my tel #
I completed my undergraduate education at California State University, Sacramento in 1996. I completed my post-graduate work at the University of Denver College of Law in 2001 and was licensed to practice law in the State of California in December 2001.
I am in my 21st year of practice as an attorney, I have developed knowledge in diverse areas of civil litigation including real estate law, community association (HOA) law, business/contract/commercial disputes, and construction law. My business is primarily centered around HOA work - if your HOA is giving you any grief, give me a call and let's see if I can help you. My passion is working for homeowners.
Additionally, I have taken extensive courses on estate planning during the pandemic to help prepare others for the expected and unexpected. I love planning with clients to meet their specific needs. Wills, trusts, durable powers of attorney, and so much more!
I am also a certified International Tour Guide, a former Colorado Woman's Bar Association Member of the Year (2002), and a Jennifer Robbins Scholarship Recipient.
I enjoy doing Pro Bono work for the homeless, veterans, trafficking victims and am a fierce animal advocate. I provide legal aid to indigent members of our community. I have varied interests outside the law including spending time with my family and furbabies, collecting wine, yoga, boating, traveling, being outdoors and binging my favorite shows.
I look forward to serving you!

My husband was in business for himself and had used approximately half a dozen attorneys in his 40+year career.

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...

Terrific Result!
We live on the US east coast and very fortunate to have found Danielle Wakefield to assist in recovering in excess of $20,000 from a service provider who required pre-payment for services never rendered. Her retainer was very reasonable and she recovered far more than we had believed possible. She r...
