Compassionate and Professional

Kristen was referred to me by another attorney and I am so glad I called. I needed to do an appeal for a long term disability insurance claim through my employer. She has been fantastic. I get regular updates and she takes time to explain in a way I can understand. I am so grateful for her and I high...ly recommend.

Kristen Gyolai is the Best !

On July 18 2017 I Fell at work breaking both bones in my left wrist on July 19 or 20 Work Comp called to tell me they had denied my claim.. Had surgery on the 21st not knowing for sure how I was going to pay this bill ... On Sunday the 23 I set out to educate myself on how to find a Comp Attorney I... had visited a few web sites just reading what they did trying to get some answers I ended up on web site for Fields Law Firm I clicked on the place to ask a question and a Attorney by the name of Steve Fields popped on and I explained what my problem was .. he asked if he could call me I said yes we spoke and he said I had a good case. And he would turn it over to one of the firms Comp Attorneys. And this was where Kristen Gyolai came to my rescue and took over my case she walked me thru what was going to happen .. It was like a weight was lifted off me.. My case is now settled I received more of a settlement then I thought I would my medical bills are payed and more then anything I have a piece of mind ... I can not say thank enough to the Fields Law Office and my Attorney Kristen Gyolai and Paralegal Yelena Leonovich for all their help.. They were the BEST!

Kristen and her team are the very best of the best

During one of the most difficult times of my life Kristen was always kind and supportive. She even listened to my ramblings. You don't know how much a listening ear or a kind word means until you truly need one. Kristen was always very responsive. I liked the fact that I got to talk to a person when... I called. After my first call with Kristen I just knew who I wanted to represent me in one of the most important moments of my life. Any previous interactions I've had with lawyers have not been good, painful sometimes. Not even once was I frustrated or feeling discouraged throughout this process. I knew I had a claim that should have been approved. Kristen provided the case law to support the appeal and sent the message to MetLife that I wasn't going to go away. Fields knew the correct way to fight the bully. Thanks to Kristen and her amazing team I was approved for long term disability.

A caring attorney that knows her stuff

I worked with Kristen for over a year on a somewhat complicated workers compensation case. She was there every step of the way to answer questions and handle anything that came up. All of her hard work ended in a favorable outcome. Her paralegal Yelena was awesome as well. Always prompt in her commu...nication and knowledgeable. I would work with Kristen and Fields Law without hesitation.

Didn't realize how new she was

Really liked her but if I would've known how new she was I wouldn't have went with her. I needed a seasoned atty for my case, and then when the judge denied she took almost 3 weeks of the 30 day time frame talking to other attorneys at her office and then decided not to appeal! Very disappointed be...cause this firm was recommended to me, but it wasn't the same atty that the person used. If she wouldn't have taken so much time I would've rated her higher but now I'm left hanging with only a week left of the 30 days, and over a holiday weekend!!!
