Danielle K. Wakefield Email & Phone Number

I am a solo practitioner who transitioned to estate planning during COVID. It was distressing watching so many families lose everything for many reasons when some simple planning for the future may have helped in a small or a bigger way. This was my motivation to change my career path after 20+ years in litigation. I am licensed to practice law in the State of California (all courts) and the United States District Court (Central, Eastern and Southern Districts CA). I am also a former member of the California State Bar Committee on the Administration of Justice. I completed my undergraduate education at California State University, Sacramento in 1996 and completed post-graduate work at the University of Denver College Of Law in 2001. I was licensed to practice law in the state of California that same year. My greatest desire is to approach estate planning through compassionate eyes, and a heart-centered focus. A lawyer that doesn’t have feelings for your family situation may not be the lawyer for you. Is it time to consider a trust or a will?Do you have your medical wishes in writing so everyone is on the same page?How about your finances if you are incapacitated for any reason - is someone you trust in charge?Do you need a pet trust for when the time comes so your fur-baby ends up in a loving home?I offer competitive, up front, flat fee based estate planning and you will never be hit with a supplemental bill that you don't know about or expect up front.
