Spot on.
We used Fieldings in a 3 year dispute with our neighbours where we were defending. Emma came onto our case half way through. The advice we received was always pragmatic, although not always what we wanted to hear, nevertheless we followed Emma’s advice and won our case with full costs. She worked tirelessly on our case. we were up late at night sending witness statements back and forth to Emma and these didn’t get issues until Emma was fully satisfied. Emma recommended a change of barrister when she came on to our case too - it wasn’t something we wanted to do as the last barrister knew our complex case inside and out - her recommendation was spot on and really paid off. Listen to Emma - she knows her stuff and she works hard to make sure you get the best outcome. You might not always like what she recommends but when you are in the court room you really understand how the recommendations she has made are paying off.
A representative from Fieldings Porter responded to this review on 02 July, 2025:
Dear Kate, Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful feedback. We're delighted to hear that Emma’s hard work, expertise, and pragmatic advice helped you achieve a successful outcome in such a complex case. Your trust and recommendation mean a great deal to us. Best regards, Fieldings Porter

Medical Negligence Claim
Having used Fieldings Porter in the past to assist with a property purchase I had no hesitation in asking them to assist me with a potential negligence claim. I had previously found them to be very professional, friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, the medical negligence claim was not straightforward (as I guess these things aren't) but I found, Emma who was dealing with the claim, to be professional, approachable and compassionate throughout. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Janet Turner and her team have been the best solicitors we have ever worked with and I’ve had the real range over the last few years with lots of family moves that I’ve headed. If I could choose one solicitor to handle every legal need we had: it would been Janet. Thank you.

Avoid this firm at all costs !! I can see many others have had a horrendous experience as well. My family and I have had the misfortune of having them deal with my grandmas estate and for what has been a truly tragic and heartbreaking time already after losing her, they have made it a million times worse and we will be taking this matter further they are an absolute joke and should not be able to handle such sensitive matters. Debbie leventhall who we’ve had to deal with has been TERRIBLE and is going against the wishes of the majority beneficiaries. Despite 2 out of 3 of the beneficiaries of the estate making it VERY clear a property should be kept in the family for sentimental reasons she is insisting it be put on the market and has been showing strangers around when all of my grandmas personal belongings are still in there. A disgusting heartless firm and this will not be the end of the matter.

Dangerous solicitor and firm. Did the bare minium of legal aid work and selected an entirely bad barristers chambers with 3 people completely unorganized. Peter Cunliffe genuinely made things worse during this time.
