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 t...ime 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

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. Afte...r 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!
