Powerhouse Attorney
I highly recommend Attorney John Fields. He and his team of paralegals always made me comfortable despite going through such a stress-inducing ordeal. Even if I called two or three times in a day they were always patient and happy to help. Not only was John able to take my case immediately, he made time to schedule our initial consultation within a day of me inquiring. What immediately struck me was that he was easy to talk to and always took time to explain the process step-by-step in ways I could understand. Over the course of 18 months, I came to genuinely appreciate the importance of having a family lawyer who you feel at ease speaking to and is available for you. When going through a family court case, you’re naturally going to lose sleep over it, but knowing you have an experienced and dedicated attorney helping you makes it much better. John wholeheartedly cares about his clients and their families, and he takes the wellbeing of children very seriously. Without a doubt, he is the lawyer you want in the courtroom, and he is the person you want to talk about your case with.

Excellent Service
My experience with Attorney Fields was excellent. His guidance during the beginning and through the trial was great. I was happy with the results and thought they were very fair. He was great at calming my nerves throughout.

Divorce Management
J. Fields and his Associates did far more than just reoresented me in my case. This team provides Divorce Management… keeping me calm at key points, de-escalating scenarios on both sides of representation and preparing me for each step.

Attorney fields made an extremely nerve wracking point in life a stress free experience. He regularly assured me that he would do all he could to ensure the best outcome for my children and he delivered. Highly recommend.

Worth Every Penny
I needed an attorney who would help with my child custody dispute, which had been addressed in the divorce a year prior, but did not provide for a safe situation for the 3 children my ex husband and I have together. I searched the area for attorneys, and was very disappointed with the results. After speaking with Attorney Fields, who lived several hours away, I was confident he was the man for the job. He lived across the state, but was willing to take the case and travel wherever needed. My case was a very difficult child custody case. Attorney Fields always made time to speak with me when I needed legal advice about the sometimes rapidly-changing situation, when I had concerns about different aspects of the case, and anytime I needed clarification on an issue. He was patient and professional, but also resolute when it came to speaking with the other party. In addition to Attorney Field’s skill, his paralegal, Magdalene, was also highly competent, friendly, and professional. I have experienced a great deal of frustration when trying to speak with other attorneys’ staff, but that was not the case with Magdalene. She is an outstanding asset to his team. I have been impressed with Attorney Field’s knowledge, skills, flexibility, and powers of persuasion. He prepared diligently and thoroughly for the trial, and his strong case contributed to a last-minute settlement assuring full satisfaction of my concerns moving forward. Attorney Fields settled for nothing less than 100% of what I wanted done. He was expensive, but worth every penny. The only thing that would have made the experience better is if I would have had him for the divorce itself!

Always Looking In Your Best Interests
He was looking out in my best interest the whole time. My ex was trying to leave me without child support or anything, and Attorney Fields made sure to establish this right away. He was there to help me and explained things with detail. He made the process simple to understand.

MY CURRENT LAWYER IS AWESOME HIS ASSISTANT IS AWESOME. BEST LAW FIRM THERE IS.
He’s helping me out so much right now. I feel like I got so lucky! He’s great and the advice he gives is sincere. Almost even sounds like a father! Actually cares! Magdalene is really sweet as well! Super calm and kind which really helps out in an anxious situation. 10/10 would recommend, loving this experience I’m getting! First time I needed a lawyer, and got the best of the best on my first choice.

Read carefully
John was fired after he laugh when I explained I read the lawyers Code of Ethics and Conduct. Jonh was lazy, lacks communication, and attention for detail. Beware!. April takes instead of listening and interrupts constantly. Magdalene rushes conversation and screens emails. Of course, this was my experience during a divorce. Good Luck! Bad News I'll be filing a grievance with the board of Wisconsin.

The Best in Family Law
If divorce was war Mr. Fields is the ammo to win the war. What do i mean, through and through in my very lengthy divorce Mr. Fields stood by my side and walked me through the restraining order fight, placement, custody and marriage agreement so I was able to have my children 50% of the time.

Attorney Fields knew how important my kids were to me and he fought hard to make sure a favorable outcome was reached. Like a pit bull, he was tenacious and aggressive.

Attorney Fields is very good at what he does. He’s been in the business for a very long time and it shows. One of the most, if not the most, knowledgeable divorce attorney I’ve worked with.

Aggressive divorce lawyer
Attorney Fields personally handled my case himself and was very aggressive in the court and knew exactly how to work in the court room with getting me everything I deserved and knew what to expect coming into court. No wonder they call him the "pitbull".

Excellent Attorney
Attorney Fields was willing to listen to my case and to try and help create the best situation for my family. He was even willing to work with my ex-wife to try and obtain the best outcome for the child stuck in the middle which is the most important thing in a divorce. He took the time to really hear my concerns and to listen to what I was trying to accomplish. He also saw that I wasn't just trying to be spiteful to my ex-wife and that what we were trying to accomplish would actually benefit all parties involved. I appreciate your help in getting a great resolution to my case.

Attorney Fields
Attorney Fields was the 5th attorney I used in a 4-year divorce case. As a retired Law Enforcement officer I expected the Attorneys to work for me since I was paying them. I had other attorneys come to court unprepared and they had to utilize my paperwork during the proceedings. I had attorneys enter into agreements with out consulting with me. And I had attorneys that failed to return phone calls, allowed the other side to tell lies about me in court and felt it was ok to go to court without my ex's financial statements. Attorney Fields was prepared much more than my ex's attorney, listened to me and never made any agreements with out my ok. I certainly will use Attorney Fields again if I ever need an Attorney.
