John T. Fields

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!

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 e...xperience during a divorce. Good Luck! Bad News I'll be filing a grievance with the board of Wisconsin.

The child was in a volatile dangerous and sentive a situation. He was being abused by the mother and other family member. Mr Fields was tenacious and carefull not to have the child testify in court. His team was best courteous professional. He won the case and I would recommend him to anyone who has... a problem where a minor child in danger

I probably should have known better than to respond to a lawyer who trolls the court records for new cases... but I was out of state and the few recommendations I had did not return my calls. Mr. Fields office was responsive and immediately took my call, heard the basics of my divorce case and q...uoted my retainer... I went ahead and gave them my credit card number and they said they would send me an authorization and a schedule of fees... however, about 30 minutes after the call I changed my mind after considering the fact my court hearing would be 2 counties away and I would be paying for the time Fields would be driving... seemed like a waste. I immediately called and they agreed not to charge my card. About 15 minutes later I received a call from their office and they advised attorney Fields wanted to speak with me... I said OK and I told him my concerns about paying for unnecessary travel. He tried to convince me to stay and mentioned he would not charge full hourly wages for travel time... he then went right in to discussing some vague strategy about what he would try to do with the case... I listened and gave him a few details about my situation, but I was still unsure. However, Mr. Fields apparently decided I still wanted to retain him so they billed my card and he contacted my Wife's lawyer to advise he was taking the case (which I was told the following day). Meanwhile I was continuing to look for a local attorney and the next business day I called Mr. Fields' office again and told them I was not interested in using their services and would go with a local attorney. They advised they would refund my retainer and that was it.... until approximately 45 days later when I finally received my refund minus $285 for the "consultation" aka Fields convincing me to stay with him. So needless to say, I would advise you do not even call the office unless you are certain you want to use them.

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.
