Being from Michigan we researched several attorneys in the San Diego area before making a decision on who would represent us. Lauren not only had the legal qualifications we were looking for, but we knew she would personally understand the vulnerabilities and emotional rollercoaster that adoption entails. Lauren is professional, meticulous, extremely competent, and exceeded our expectations. Personally, she is compassionate, genuine, and it is evident that she loves her job. As a nurse, I felt called to dedicate my life to helping others. I observed this same passion in Lauren and we will always be grateful for the role she played in the adoption of our baby boy.

Lauren was amazing to work with. Through her diligent efforts and guidance she helped make our adoption process as smooth as possible resulting in the biggest blessing in our lives.

Danielle is an experienced attorney who is specialized in solving conflicts with HOA. She helped us twice in dealing with unjustified fines from our HOA and the results were satisfiable. I also learned that she can do estate planning too, something I need in the near future. Big appreciation to you, Danielle!

I was very lucky to find Danielle and I'll always be grateful for her dedication, advocacy, organizational skills, and knowledge of the law. She is also excellent at communication: she made sure I understood the process/what to expect, tasks on my "to do" list, timing, billing, etc. I would definitely do business with her again.

I had a property management conflict that lasted multiple years that I couldn't personally resolve. I got in touch with Danielle and provided the details of my problem. She was able to quickly and thoroughly rectify the situation and allow the HOA and myself to come to a mutual resolution. I am extremely satisfied with her services and highly recommend.

In my family business breach of contract case, Danielle Wakefield was not only extremely knowledgeable, but sensitive to the fact that it was proving to be a traumatic experience. From consultation to settlement and collections, Danielle has been my by side and resorted my faith in the justice system. I'll never use another attorney.

I am a disabled special operations combat veteran and attorney. When I needed an attorney to defend me and my family against an unlawful eviction I was incredibly lucky to find Danielle Wakefield! When the home we were leasing was sold in a foreclosure sale, the new owner immediately began a campaign to intimidate us into leaving so he could flip the house. Initially I was able to ignore and deflect the landlord’s many attempts to get rid of us, but when he attempted to cancel our lease and brought a fraudulent unlawful detainer action against us I knew I was in over my head. Landlord-Tenant law is well outside of my practice area, so I started to look for an attorney to represent us. After meeting with a few underwhelming attorneys we started to lose hope, but then we found Danielle! She is an exceptional attorney! She immediately took over the case and exposed the landlord’s lies and wrongdoing to the court—successfully defending our eviction. Since her decisive victory in the erroneous unlawful detainer action, Danielle has represented us in our suit against our landlord to recover the damages incurred as a result of his actions. Over the last three years I am sure that I have gotten on Danielle’s last nerve more than a few times with my constant questions and unsolicited legal theories, but she has remained professional and steadfast throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend Danielle enough. She is a fierce litigator and unwavering advocate for her clients. We could not have found a better lawyer!

Words can’t express how grateful we are to have had Danielle Wakefield as our attorney! Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, precise and organized, but she deeply cares about her clients and gives over 100%. We had a nightmare situation and she came to our rescue. We were renting a house, when without notice, it was sold in a foreclosure. The new owners, a billion dollars company, wanted to flip it right away, so they did everything they could to threaten and scare my husband, four kids and me, us out of our home. We had a 2 year lease already existing, so they didn’t have the right to evict us, but they definitely tried. They threatened us with cash for keys or a lawsuit… told us we’d have an eviction on our records and would never be able to rent again. Then posted a 3-day notice to quite sign, on our front door. Even though we knew we had our rights to stay in our home, we didn’t know how to fight off all the threats. We then endured a water leak, so we contacted the owners to fix it, but instead of doing the right thing, they served us a 7-day notice to leave, followed by an unlawful detainer lawsuit. WHAT? That’s when we found Danielle, and she saved our lives. She took on our case and fought hard for us, for over two years! She immediately made us feel at ease! She made us aware of our rights, walked us through every step and became the voice for us, that we really needed!! She is absolutely AMAZING and we feel so extremely blessed we found her and she agreed to represent us. We will forever be so grateful for Danielle and all her hard work. I would highly recommend her Danielle Wakefield! Not only is she passionate and thorough with a big heart, but she’s a bulldog in the courtroom! She’s simply… THE BEST!

Danielle did a wonderful job on my case and got me a successful outcome. She was kind and empathetic to my situation and guided me through a process that I was unfamiliar with. She got me the best outcome possible and I could not have done it without her knowledge and expertise.

Danielle's office handled a couple of legal cases for my company. She was able to produce positive results and I am very satisfied with her handling of the cases. I truly recommend her to anyone who may need help in navigating legal matters.

We worked with Lauren to adopt our children in 2021-2022. From the moment we were matched, she was phenomenal about communicating and relaying information to us. I never had to worry about things being done on time and being done correctly and I could just focus on the new additions to our family. Lauren is also a great person to have on your team because she is an adoptive mom herself! She truly *knows* the experiences her clients are going through and helps them navigate everything. If I needed an adoption attorney again, I would reach out to Lauren without ANY hesitation.
