I retained Thomas Field as part of a long relationship with Beermann LLP. Over 12 years, I paid the firm hundreds of thousands in legal fees. Despite this loyalty, I was treated dismissively and left disempowered when I sought to transition to new counsel and fairly resolve billing issues. After r...
Sadly, this client, who hired me on no fewer than 7 different occasions, due to the excellent results we achieved for her, time and again, has elected to defame me and my partner. Why? Great question. We refused to take her case on for yet an 8th engagement because she refused to pay her substantial outstanding receivable with us. This is singly the one and only negative review on any platform I have received in 23 years of practicing. Unfortunate that someone would go to such a length and fabricate such a story. This is truly a sad story. I wish Ms. Castro no ill will and hope she can find peace in her life without trying to hurt others in the process.

Tom came recommended to me from a close contact, and I hired them for what I correctly guessed would be a contentious divorce. Tom and his team are very knowledgeable about their area of practice and the industry they work in. They were responsive, forward thinking, and I always felt assured that the...

Tom was recommended to me as someone who could navigate complicated financial waters, which was necessary in our case. However, Tom's immediate focus was on our child, and I felt really great about that. With Tom and Jason guiding me, I never worried about the case; I felt confident I was in ex...

It was great working with Tom and his team. I felt well taken care of and that I had strong, knowledgeable advocates. Tom and Claudia were always incredibly responsive and timely. I also appreciated that they understood that for me, the final dollar amount on my side of the ledger wasn't the only out...
"One of the best family law attorneys you can find. Knowledgeable and diligent. A true leader in the field."
"I highly endorse Mr. Field. Very knowledgeable and caring attorney who gets great results in representing clients! I want all people with legal problems to contact him first."
"Tom is a fantastic advocate for his clients and does a tremendous job for them. I strongly endorse this lawyer."
"Tom has made a name for himself as a zealous advocate for his clients dealing with all areas of "family law," including divorce and child custody issues. I comfortably refer clients to Tom Field because I know he'll fight hard for his clients and he gets results. He has been recognized by his peers as "40 under 40," or in other words a lawyer under 40 years old to watch. Likewise, he recently received the young alumni award from the Chicago-Kent College of Law in recognition of his legal work. Keep up the good work; I know your clients appreciate it!"
"Tom is an excellent lawyer who embodies what it takes to be a successful family lawyer. He is smart, aggressive, and compassionate. I have referred many of my clients and friends to Tom and they all have wonderful things to say about him. I highly endorse Tom Field."
"Tom is a recognized expert in his field, and I have been very pleased with his work for several clients who I have referred to him. I recommend him very highly. He is an invaluable resource in complex divorce and child custody matters."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I ran into Tom at a social event after not seeing him in many years and we ended up working together for a chartiy fundraiser for our college fraternity. Around the same time, friends of min were having marital trouble and it looked like it was going to be a nasty divorce and the wife was scared and needed guidance from someone who would share with her all of the realities of divorce and protect her rights. I suggested Tom. He was not only her divorce attorney, but the counselor she needed. We forget that sometimes as lawyers that we arent just an advocate for the client but need to counsel them when making hard decisions. Tom counseled my friend through every decision, good or bad, and was her advocate throughout her divorce process. My hat off to Tom Field."
