Danielle Chaidez - Irvine, CA

Danielle Chaidez joined Wallace, Richardson, Sontag & Le, LLP as an associate attorney in April 2023. A graduate of Chapman University Dale E. Fowler School of Law, Danielle finished in the top third of her class in 2021, passed the California bar exam, and launched her legal career in family law. Since then, she has been an active litigator, handling numerous trials, settlement conferences, and law and motion matters.

Danielle began practicing landlord- tenant law after witnessing her grandfather, a small landlord in California and one of her greatest influences, face difficulties with tenants and the complexities of eviction. This experience motivated her to focus her legal expertise on helping landlords and property owners navigate the constantly evolving California landlord‑tenant landscape.

During law school, Danielle also developed a strong passion for assisting victims of harassment, violence, and abuse. As a member of the Advanced Protective Order Clinic, she helped individuals obtain protective orders. Now, in her career, she continues to advocate for clients, helping them secure restraining orders to ensure their safety at work, home, and in their daily lives.

Outside of work, Danielle enjoys spending time with family, at the beach, and exploring national parks.
