When the Case Is About the Kids
Not every legal win is about the numbers. Sometimes, it is about being there—truly there—when a family needs you most.
After a serious child car accident left a young girl with a fractured clavicle and shook the lives of her mother and brother, Fielding Law stepped in to help the family find clarity and healing. They spoke primarily Spanish, and they were overwhelmed—not just by what happened, but by what came next: paperwork, insurance, and court hearings.
This is where the Minor’s Compromise process began.
What Is a Minor’s Compromise?
In California, when a minor receives a settlement for injuries sustained in a car accident or any other incident, the court must approve the terms. This legal process, called a Minor’s Compromise, is designed to protect the child—both financially and legally.
But the process can feel complicated, especially for families who are already under emotional strain. That is why we take these cases to heart.

How We Helped
Attorneys Clark Fielding and Brian Yee personally managed this child car accident case and prepared detailed Minor’s Compromise petitions for the children. Their focus was not just on securing a fair outcome—it was on making the experience feel human, respectful, and understandable for the entire family.
They attended the hearing in person with the clients and arranged a Spanish-speaking interpreter to ensure the family was fully engaged. That presence mattered. The judge acknowledged the professionalism and care in Clark and Brian’s work and praised their lawyering and preparation.
It was a moment that reminded us: showing up with compassion and excellence is part of what justice looks like.
