Peter
Fields

My father is nearly 80, unfortunately, he found himself caught in a marital dispute when he became a victim of his own kindness. My brother and his ex wife had been residing rent free at his property for over 20 years. My brother divorced his wife and then left the property. She was aggrieved and tried to cheat my father out of his life savings by claiming she had a beneficiary interest in the property. She claimed my father had gifted them the property and due to this, they had carried out substantial works and she refused to leave the property. Dr Peter Fields represented my brother who was the second Defendant in this case at the 3 day trial in court. We instructed him on a public access basis as he was highly recommended by a trusted source. I feel privileged to write this testimonial for Dr Fields. He made a huge impact in such a short space of time. He is no doubt a truly humble individual with a fount of knowledge. Leading up to the trial, Dr Fields extensively studied the bundles and held a couple of remote meetings with my brother and myself. He summarised his understanding and asked questions where he identified gaps. It was clear he had gone through all the witness statements with a fine tooth comb. We found working with him to be an absolute pleasure. He is a very capable barrister with high ethical standards, he has shown empathy, integrity and self motivation. Dr Fields has worked extremely hard and fought for justice for my father. He put forward a strong argument before the court which showed the inconsistencies and weaknesses in the First Defendant’s evidence. Dr Fields is a dedicated and responsible barrister who takes his role seriously. He is approachable and has good listening skills. Without his valuable services, my brother would have been at a disadvantage. Although, my father is the sole proprietor of the property, it was actually a matrimonial home for my brother and his ex wife. The judge gave possession of my father’s property back to him and ordered the First Defendant to leave. She was not entitled to a single penny! Dr Fields is client focused and has a clear ability to communicate with people from diverse walks of life. He has a very good understanding of different cultures. His polite and helpful nature quickly allowed him to build a rapport with my brother. Overall, Dr Fields is a highly skilled barrister who is non judgemental. He has worked incredibly hard to achieve the desired outcomes for my brother and father. We are very pleased with the services provided by him. We would highly recommend him to other people who find themselves in a vulnerable position. Dr Fields is also an expert in other areas of law.

I count myself most fortunate, having instructed Dr Peter Fields of counsel to represent a client both on a Magistrates’ Court matter and on an extremely complicated Crown Court matter. The outcomes on both criminal litigation matters speak volumes to Dr Fields’ excellence – the Magistrates’ Court matter was discontinued and my client was acquitted after trial in the Crown Court. I was totally bowled over by Dr Fields’ assiduousness and attention to detail, his exceptional memory and his relentless pursuit of justice. Throughout the entire 16 months that it took both matters to conclude, I came to thoroughly rely on Dr Fields’ broad knowledge and understanding of the law, his keen intellect and his sage guidance. Dr Fields’ endless patience, his steadfast handling and his bright sense of humour made a cinch of what would otherwise have been a very stressful matter for me. I cannot thank Dr Fields enough for his brilliant advice and assistance and simply cannot wait to instruct him on my next impossible case!

I had the pleasure of meeting Peter at the hearing of the above matter. He presented as a calm advocate with a good grip on the subject matter as well as the complexities of my case. He presented the arguments succinctly in court and solidly in discussion with our opponents leading to a successful conclusion. I would certainly recommend Peter for such advocacy in the future.
