Walter Levi Fields

I want to warn the community about Walter Fields, a lawyer who represents children in court in the Bronx. His nonprofit had their contract taken away so they can no longer represent kids, and he was taken off the 18b panel of independent free attorneys, but he is still trying to pick up new cases. Al...legedly he is not a good lawyer - he doesn't show up for court appearances, he doesn't do work on cases, and his clients sit in detention for months and years on end. Also, there have been allegations that he is inappropriate with his young clients. Please do not leave him alone with your children.

I would highly recommend Mr.Fields to anyone in need of a attorneyMr.Fields is extremely knowledgable in the field of law and knows how to deal with complex issues which can arise in a court setting . In the courtroom,Mr.Fields seems very comfortable and well respected by his peers . Mr.Fields is ver...y meticulous and detail oriented Thanks to Mr.Fields, my court cases turned out very positive for me . I would never use another attorney and have recommended Mr.Fields to my colleagues and friends . I received postive feedback from colleagues and friends who also used Mr.Fields and they would also recommend him.

When I was falsely accused of abusing my ex girlfriend I was dragged into Court. We just had an argument when I left our apartment, next thing I knew I was being arrested. I met Mr. Fields in criminal court where he had me out of jail with no bail within hours. Then next day I was served with a pe...tition for family court. I called Mr. Fields and after a brief discussion I asked him to represent me in family court as well. I'm glad he agreed. One week later we met for two hours where he told me what to expect in the coming days and weeks in the criminal and family court case. I will admit, I called Mr. Fields about 5x's a week with questions due to my nervousness. Despite not being his only client, Mr. Fields was always courteous and professional. Many times I left the conversation laughing. Despite the seriousness of the situation, Mr. Fields always knew how to put me at ease. To make a long story short, Mr. Fields was able to prove that my ex lied about the entire situation. The family court case was dismissed after a quick trial. The criminal case on the other hand took a little longer, but this was not due to Mr. Fields. The charges were eventually lowered to a misdemeanor, then a violation. I'm so glad Mr. Fields believed in me and my story and insisted that I reject each offer. In the end the case was dismissed. Thank you Mr. Fields. This was my first and hopefully last experience with the legal system. I was a complete wreck during this ordeal and don't know how i would have gotten through it without Mr. Fields professionalism and compassion.

And if you ever get a chance to read this mr fields I am very grateful for all your work and dedication towards my case
