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!

She's our Attorney
We were referred to Danielle to update an old family trust. To say we were lucky to get her is an understatement. She understood what we needed to do and drove to Los Angeles County from San Diego County to help us. What Attorney do you know will do that for their clients? Danielle did it without com...

Changed my situation for the better
My HOA was having problems and our property manager was lying often and withholding financial documents, so I hired Danielle Wakefield for help. She gave me information about my rights as a homeowner, and she fought on my behalf to get straight answers from board members and the property manager. Her...

Outstanding Service Review
It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Danielle Wakefield. My daughter and I were deeply involved in two separate but related civil cases.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS ATTORNEY!!!
I hired Danielle Wakefield for my Homeowners Association (HOA) matter and after working on my case and collecting over forty thousand dollars, she made excuses that she was quitting my case because of not taking her advice on mediation. When I asked her why she never explained to me I had multiple me...
I wish you well.
