Based on my experience with Fields Law Firm for my SSDI case, I would not recommend this firm for representation as it concerns Social Security Disability. I was 26 at the time of submitting my application for social security benefits in 2022 and I retained Fields Law Firm at the very beginning of the process which is the initial stage. The attorney I was assigned had only been representing social security disability claimants for less than 24 months. The firm did not start collecting medical records from all of my providers until the hearing stage, which was nearly three years after the date of the initial application. I was denied at the initial, reconsideration, and hearing level. In the few conversations I had with my attorney, the vibe that I was getting was that she did not familiarize herself enough with my case to provide me with decent representation. Her paralegal did not return some of my phone calls where I had left voicemails and there were times when the attorney had thought I already had a hearing even through a hearing hadn't taken place yet or the paralegal was unaware that a hearing was even scheduled. Two weeks before my hearing, I also discovered that the medical record was incomplete and the firm has not been collecting nearly half a year of mental health records and medical records from visits five months prior from several other providers. The firm never even communicated with me that they were missing a plethora of records from my file. It was through the phone conversations I had been having with my attorney, where I initiated contact about the progress of my case, where the attorney's lack of knowledge about several aspects of my case had raised my concerns and was a huge red flag. So I started to do some digging and contacted the lead paralegal for the disability department at Fields Law Firm and asked her to provide me with the most recent medical record date for every provider in my file and that's when I discovered a huge chunk of medical records hadn't been obtained. Therefore, the attorney would have went into my hearing with an incomplete medical record, had I not been checking behind the law firm's staff and made the discovery that they had not been obtaining all of my medical records. Which I shouldn't have to do as a client of a law firm, where there is supposed to be an expectation that the time and attention to detail needed for a case is actually being provided by the firm to ensure the client is getting the "best" representation possible. I hadn't even been getting the bare minimum in representation, based on my experience. I contacted the owner prior to my hearing and left a voicemail regarding my concerns, the call was never returned. My claim was denied three weeks after the hearing. Based on this experience, I cannot consciously recommend this firm. Too much of a risk. There is adequate and much better representation elsewhere and ultimately, it is the claimant's responsibility to do their due diligence to retain appropriate representation and to seek other legal representation, when appropriate representation isn't being provided. You live and you learn. read more

Based on my personal experience with this firm and my observations, this is one of those run-of-the-mill firms where a high client volume is prioritized over individual case quality. Which is a recipe for DISASTER. There's limited interaction with the attorney they appoint to your case and they have their attorneys do a little of everything while mastering nothing. The years of experience and level of expertise the firm has doesn't necessarily equate to the years of experience and level of expertise of the attorneys they employ and assign to your case. The quality of the attorney I was assigned was comparable to that of a public defender or worse, in my opinion. Paralegals appear to do most of the casework and lack attention to detail, miss critical information, send paperwork late, or were unresponsive at times when I initiated contact regarding my case, and were dismissive and irate when you present your concerns about their behavior. Attorney appeared confused, forgetful, unskilled, and hasty during most interactions. No accountability and no compassion. You are nothing more than a new case# to these people which speaks to the culture of this firm. No exceptional expertise or innovative strategies. It seems that they handle a large number of cases and prioritize quick resolutions over an in-depth legal analysis. Staff lacks phone etiquette and is often dismissive and uninterested in considering your concerns and being open to constructive criticism. If you value yourself and your case, do yourself a favor and find appropriate and thorough representation based on the years of experience, level of expertise, and qualifications of the attorney in the field for which your claim is in whether that be long term disability, social security disability, workers compensation, etc. All attorneys are not made the same and you can certainly lose your case by not having the right attorney representing you. In summary, they have too many cases to worry about little old you. You are better off seeking a local attorney in your area with a smaller firm that has the time, attention to detail, attorneys with many years of experience, and level of expertise in the field of which your claim is in, to give you the best representation possible. If I could go back in time, I would have stayed far away from fields Law Firm. 0 out of 10. Would NEVER recommend. read more

I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Fields Law Firm. From the very first time I spoke with them, I felt like I was finally being heard. They treated me with kindness, respect, and compassion during one of the most difficult times in my life. They took the time to answer all of my questions, explained everything clearly, and made sure I understood every step of the process. Thanks to their hard work, dedication, and knowledge, they won my Social Security Disability case and helped me receive the benefits I truly deserved. After everything I had been through, having a team that genuinely fought for me made all the difference. They never made me feel like I was just another case--they made me feel like they truly cared about my future and my well-being. What impresses me even more is that their commitment to helping me didn't stop there. They are now assisting me with my long-term disability insurance claim, and I have complete confidence that I'm in the best hands possible. Knowing they are still standing by my side gives me so much peace of mind. If you're looking for a law firm that is professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly goes above and beyond for their clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Fields Law Firm. They work tirelessly to get the best possible outcome, and they genuinely care about the people they represent. I will always be grateful for everything they have done for me, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needs a legal team that will fight for them every step of the way. Thank you, Fields Law Firm, for changing my life! Thank you Chuck read more

Good heavens these people have some patience. I got my head caved in by an F18 fighter jet back in the navy, and well... not to be too silly but my brain don't work to good anymore. I got my VA disability, but I was still struggling a little with money supporting my brothers and a crazy economy. So I filed for SS disability at least I think that's what it's called. Even when I couldn't remember even a single family member's birthday or what I ate for breakfast, walked with a cane and had to take pain medication just to get out of bed, the Social security people just ran me in circles for ages. I contacted Fields Law firm after a short google search. They stayed with me, refiled and even when they still turned me down, Fields didn't even FLINCH! They jumped right back in, walking me through everything. They knew my limitations and were extremely patient and careful. They even highlighted things I needed to sign, and left sticky notes in the paper work when I couldn't understand things. Not only was it well worth the effort, but I feel like I didn't get a single cent out of pocket. They took a tiny percent I didn't even know was there from the end result. They legitimately made me feel like they were there on my team. Feeling for me and my issues, fighting for me and saving me from a system designed to be a problem for people like me. read more

I am SOOO GLAD that I found Fields Law Firm online when searching for an attorney to help with my SSDI case! I had no idea what I was looking for. I filled out the online questionnaire, and got a phone call back from a lady at the firm the next day. After speaking with someone else in the next couple of days, they agreed that I had a good case and they were going to take me on as a client. The paralegal that was assigned to me, Trieva, was exceptional!! She answered All questions that I had very quickly and knowledgeably!! There was NEVER a time that I felt like I did not know what was going on with my case, it felt that they were not working FOR ME!! Even after I was denied twice, they still seemed like they were working just as hard on my case, as the first time I filed. I finally got a hearing with a judge about 16 months from first time I filed, after my second appeal. My Attorney, Leslie, was FANTASTIC! She prepared me for the hearing about a week beforehand, and told me that I didn't need to be so worried, because I had a good case! She really put my mind at ease! I would definitely recommend Fields Law Firm, whether it's your first time filing, or you have been denied. Great people to work with! So glad I found them! A+++ from me Thanks AGAIN!! read more

I am so happy I chose fields law firm as they did not give up! The staff was so friendly and patient with my questions and did not give up on my case. My case may have not gone in our favor the first go round but they fought a second go round explaining details to me and making me feel comfortable when answering questions at my hearing as to not spike up my anxiety and it worked! First and far most to Claudia Kurschner thank you for being so amazing and just randomly checking in on me and updating me on how everything was going with my case.Trieva Jennings thank you for providing me with the important documentations I needed to provide to make my case stronger. Lastly thank you every so much Hector Ramirez-Rivera for literally taking your time in explaining in detail how the hearing/apeal was going to go (mock trail) and making me feel comfortable to ask what I would think is stupid questions and not making me feel stupid with a legit answer. Also thank you for calling me after the hearing as I was a nervous wreck. So long story long Social Security is stressfull dealing with it on your own Fields Law Firm knows what their are doing and did exactly that cannot thank you guys enough. If I could I would give them 10* read more

After being denied twice for Social Security Disability, my case was finally scheduled for a hearing. At that point, I was referred to Fields Law Firm for help. Thanks to my attorney, Hector, and my paralegal, Trieva, I was approved for SSD before the hearing even took place! Hector kept me informed every step of the way, always making sure I understood what was happening with my case. Trieva went above and beyond to ensure that every piece of data and every form was submitted promptly to the Social Security Judge. Their hard work, dedication, and attention to detail made all the difference. I'm deeply grateful for everything Hector and Trieva did to help me and my family secure the benefits we needed. I highly recommend Fields Law Firm to anyone needing help with Social Security Disability -- they truly care about their clients and get results. read more

I needed an attorney for my workmans comp case. The company i worked for didnt give me the paperwork for workmans comp after my injury. I was trying to be the nice guy because i liked working for said company, but kept getting i will bring it on monday from the manager. I found Fields Law Firm on the net and did some checkinhg and they seemed legit. Wow am i glad i did. You cant go wrong with these guys and gals. Patrick Kramer had my back literally i figured i wouldnt get anything or very little. Pat said he could get a mediator attorney and i agreed after we talked about the benefits of said attorney. The settlement was more then i thought not by a huge margin,but respectable. I can honestly say He was genuine,honorable, straight forward and has the utmost integrity for his clientel. Kudos To Feilds Law Firm! and Thank You From Ron S. read more

I inquired about disability on-line and Fields law firm responded. I discussed my situation to them, and they reviewed the information and said they would represent me. from the start they made you feel comfortable about the process and had the outlook that you were going to win. The thing that made me feel i was in the right place is they have the confidence to the point that there is no risk to those they represent. If they don't win, they don't get paid. They have a winning attitude and they do win. They are a great bunch of people to work with from start to finish. They are professionals that treat you with compassion and well I will say it. Not all lawyers are bad. these people treat you like family. It was a pleasant process start to finish. Thank you again Fields Law Firm you're the light at the end of the tunnel. read more

Before selecting a law firm to help me process my SSDI case, I asked a ton of people what their experience had been with friends or family or themselves. The only name in the Minneapolis St Paul area that came up more than once was Fields Law. Based on three recommendations, I selected them. Midway through, my case got bogged down by what I would say is a lazy or apathetic worker in the Disability Determination Services office, so it took 7 months longer than a typical MN case. My paralegal was the tigress I needed her to be every step of the way! She kept me in the loop with every message, conversation, and email she had with him and his supervisor at DDS. Honestly, she treated my case as if I was her only one. I ended up with more backpay than expected, so I would definitely say they get 5+ stars! read more

Polite, friendly, compassionate, and experienced in their field. After having a phone consultation with Fields Law Firm, I decided that they were the firm for me. Everything was handled quickly and with precision. They prepared me for my hearing and on the day of the hearing, it went very smoothly. I received a favorable judgment by the law judge and didn't expect to hear about money for at least a few months or so, but probably a week later, the money was in my account. I would recommend Fields Law Firm to anyone having difficulties with the Social Security process. They got results so much faster than I ever got a from them. You owe yourself relief from the stress of filing and fighting only to get rejected and dejected. Thank you, Fields Law Firm! read more

The team at Fields law have been, and will continue to be tremendous partners. With their guidance and help, these last 5 years though tough, have helped me successfully navigate becoming medically disabled at a relatively young age (48), successfully negotiated settlements with big insurance when they clearly were in the wrong, and after Fields law team successfully helped me complete my Social Security Disability Insurance claim. I would sincerely recommend them to help with any legal matters as they were great listeners not just great litigators, and that means a lot in this world of indifference. Give them a call with your legal questions even if you feel at a dead end they may find ways to help when you feel like theres no answers. read more

I had an amazing experience with The Fields Law Firm and in-particular Claudia Kurschner (para-legal). My journey with my Social Security Disability claim began in January 2024, and my disability claim was approved in September 2025. Claudia's knowledge was exceptional as she held my hand the entire way, as we journeyed thru the mountains of paperwork/documents required by Social Security to fulfill their requirements , and eventually get my claim accepted. I highly recommend The Fields Law firm, based in Minnesota, for your disability needs. My calls and txts were always promptly returned, and follow thru was always done, to ensure time sensitive tasks were completed. Thank you Claudia ! JL read more

I had to stop working due to disability. I was not yet 50 years old with one of the most misunderstood illnesses ever. After seeing SSA doctors, I was denied benefits. My lawyer suggested that I appeal and felt confident that we had a good case. I was not. I contacted Field Law in May 2024. Gloria or Treva was always in contact. The returned my calls and text messages in a timely manner. They explained and re-explain things I did not understand. I felt well supported and heard every step of the way. Ultimately, Gloria won my case after the appeal. I would suggest anyone who doesn't feel heard or is not clear about their case, to call Field Law Group, ask for Gloria and Treva. read more

After 38 months, I was finally approved for disability, and I truly don't think I could have made it through the process without Fields Law Firm. They stayed on top of every detail, kept in regular contact with me, never missed a deadline, and fought hard for me every step of the way.
