Attorney

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.

Great service!

They really helped me out with my divorce. I had some outstanding issues that weren't being addressed and they helped wrap them all up.

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 hea...r 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 en...ter 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.

Don't waste your time

I hired Attorney Fields for my divorce. My divorce was very simple, and should have taken minimal time. 6 months and $10,000 later- nothing had been accomplished. I let him go as my Attorney, and hired someone else. Also, check your invoices! was shocked that I had been charged extra (i.e charged for... 2 hours in court, when we were only there for one hour, etc). When I brought this up to the Firms attention I was ignored. Please consider hiring a different attorney who won't waste your time and money.
