Ugh, just Ugh!

I retained this office for help finalizing a divorce case that was a year in the process and scheduled for final trial already. there was a prenup in place and the only thing that they were really hired to do was ensure was that the prenup was not overturned as my husband wanted a portion of my retir...ement fund and get a permanent child support order entered or the temporary one upheld. They bungled things from day one, client information was entered incorrectly in their system and never fixed in spite of phone calls and assurances to the contrary, items intended to be sent tome were instead sent to my ex-husbands address (with my name). I thank heavens that we didn't have to go to actual trial as I cringe to think of what would have/could have gone wrong there with this group representing me.

Expensive and nothing got done

I am now down 4000 dollars and nothing got done. This was suppose to be an easy divorce, John T. Feilds really dropped the ball. Didnt return my emails or phone calls unless it was me getting billed. Real joke of an attorney.

Never gave up on a tough fight

I went through a long and hard divorce and custody fight. John T. Fields and Assoc. really fought for me. They told me what needed to be done and when and filed everything for me in a timely matter. I couldn't have asked for a better law office. They helped me get full placement of my daughter and s...till have answered any questions that I had after the divorce was finalized. Definitely recommend!

Divorce Action

Attorney John T. Fields was retained to represent me in a divorce action where my infant child was taken out of the country by her mother. Attorney Fields knowledge, experience, and expertise brought this matter to a swift and beneficial disposition. Attorney Fields and representatives of his office... handled this matter with integrity, professionalism, compassion, and dignity. Their efforts were invaluable in bringing my situation to a favorable conclusion. My daughter was returned, and my divorce was finalized to my satisfaction.

Didn't do his job

I appointed John Fields as my attorney in my custody case for my son. He filed an emergency motion. The judge essentially told him he hadn't followed the correct procedure, and ordered him to file things correctly. He never filed that second motion. So here I am, out $3,000 and nothing was accomplish...ed. I fired him as my lawyer, and retained new counsel. It's sad that his lack of follow through caused me so much wasted time and money. Look elsewhere, there are lawyers locally who wont waste your time and money. I'd really appreciate my money back, as I've had to hire someone else, however I haven't received any response back from him or his office.
