My husband was in a serious car accident back in April of this year at no fault of his own. He suffered extensive injuries from it and spend 6 weeks in the hospital. We inquired around for a lawyer to handle the logistics of being involved in such an accident. Overwhelmingly we were advised by many friends and our personal attorney to use Deborah M. Field. Ms. Field and her associate were very knowledgeable and helpful in helping us navigate through all the paperwork of the hospitals and insurance companies and even though no amount of money compensated for the damage done to my husband but we did win our case and were able to have all our expenses covered. I would highly recommend Ms. Fields services and actually have referred two people already to her. Her kindness and caring along with her knowledge made it easier for me to focus on my husbands recovery and appreciate all she did for us.

This was my first and only time that I needed a personal injory attorney. I had been involved in a situation that I now needed an attorney for injuries I had received. I was given a referal to Deborah Fields by a mutual friend. From the first phone call to the last office visit Deborah certainly exceeded all my expectations. She was 100% accessible, handled all my inquiries with full professionalism , was passionate to my situation and delivered a better than expected outcome in our case. I could'nt ask for any better customer service than what I experienced.

Deborah was recommended to me by a man who saw me with a cast on my arm. He came up to me and asked me if I had hired a lawyer yet? I replied that I had not. He went on to tell me that Deborah Field was an excellent lawyer, and emphasized that it was her integrity and honesty that was so important. He was right! On first meeting her, I could see that she was a quality individual, and explained to me how things worked. I hired her on the spot, and less than a year later, I had a settlement for the maximum amount possible! I will recommend her to anyone who asks!

Going through any type of injury lawsuit is a daunting, scary and time consuming process. Deborah and team made the entire process easy. Always there to answer questions, the wealth of knowledge and just the absolute heart and compassion displayed for myself and my daughter was so amazing. I would recommend her to anyone!

My mom was severely injured after being hit by a pickup truck while walking home from the grocery store about a year ago. I contacted Deborah while my mother was still in the ICU at Strong Memorial Hospital. She was extremely knowledgeable about injured-related legal matters and immediately proved us with helpful guidance. The guidance was given in a compassionate way that was appropriate given the difficult circumstances. In addition to securing the maximum allowed payout from two different auto liability policies, Deborah and her team helped us navigate the extremely complex interplay between my mom's health insurance, Medicare, and driver's insurance company. I would highly recommend Deborah and her team to anyone who finds themselves in the unfortunate position of needing a personal injury attorney.

My family member was injured in a Pedestrian Struck MVA and was in critical condition. Deborah and her team were contacted and immediately started working to assist our family. They were so responsive, answered emails at all hours of the day and even brought paperwork to my house to be signed when I wasn't able to make it to the office. We are so grateful for Deborah and her team.
