Wesley Wakeford
Registered at the same address and suite as John J. Roach — 1388 Sutter Street, Suite 810 — two separate solo firms sharing one San Francisco office. His register phone and the number his site advertises are different. His page cites an SFCTA pickup figure we do not reprint.
The bar record
We read Wesley Wakeford in the State Bar of California’s licensee search. California publishes more history than most registers: a bar number, a dated status timeline, and administrative as well as disciplinary actions.
California is the one register that tells you it removes its own history. Above the status table, every record carries this: some administrative suspensions are subject to automatic removal from the attorney profile page pursuant to the State Bar’s policy on removal of administrative actions ... administrative suspensions that meet the criteria in that policy would not be displayed below.
Administrative suspensions are not discipline — they follow from things like unpaid fees or missed continuing education. But the sentence still means what it says. A timeline showing nothing is a timeline showing nothing that the State Bar currently displays, and we are not going to write “never suspended” when the register reserves the right to have taken an entry down. No other register on this site says this about itself.
And it does not check what the lawyer tells it. Where a record carries practice areas, the State Bar prints a warning next to them: it does not verify the accuracy of this content and makes no warranties regarding experience or competence in practice areas. Eleven of the twelve lawyers on our San Francisco page left that block empty altogether, so for most of them the register holds a name, a number, an address and a status — and nothing about what they actually do.
What the record shows
His address of record and John J. Roach’s are identical down to the suite: 1388 Sutter St, Ste 810. They are separate practices with separate bar numbers, websites and phone numbers, registered at one address. Nothing on either site mentions the other. It is the only shared address among the twelve.Verified
The register gives his telephone as 415-578-3510. His site advertises (415) 754-7469. Both appear here; the register carries the first.Verified
His page states a daily Uber and Lyft pickup figure for San Francisco attributed to the San Francisco County Transportation Authority, and a percentage increase in fatal road accidents attributed to the University of Chicago. We reprint neither. The first is precisely the kind of metro-level rideshare volume figure this site does not publish without reading the source.Verified
Twenty-three years at the bar, with no discipline and no administrative action on the status timeline.Verified
