By Firm News and Celebrations, In the Community, Personal Injury

This highly anticipated event is more than just a celebration; it is the premier occasion to honor excellence in trial law and the achievements of top trial lawyers in our community.

Do not miss out! Keep reading for the link to secure your tickets. 

Giving Back with Joy 

In addition to the awards, the evening will feature a silent auction to benefit the Jessie Rees Foundation. Jessie Rees, known lovingly as “Jessie,” was a kind, athletic, and faith-filled girl. She courageously fought cancer (DIPG) from March 3, 2011, to January 5, 2012. During her treatment, Jessie’s compassion for others shone through. She asked her parents a simple question: “How can we help them?” Jessie was referring to other children in long-term, in-patient care at Children’s Hospital of Orange County.

With support from her parents and the hospital, Jessie created JoyJars®, 64-ounce plastic jars filled with new toys and games. She stuffed over 3,000 of them with help from family and friends before she passed away. These bundles of joy carried her message to the world: “NEGU®,” which stands for Never Ever Give Up.

 Getting Involved in the Cause 

Our very own Ryan Cooper, Senior attorney at Fielding Law and member of the OCTLA Board of Directors, will be donating a signed football from star athlete and reigning MVP of the NFL, Josh Allen to the gala auction. As a firm, we are honored to support this incredible event and cause by sponsoring a table at the Top Gun Awards Gala.  

This is more than a night out, it is a chance to give back to the community and be a part of something bigger. Spots are limited, so click here to register. 

 Keeping Our Promise to Serve 

Events like these remind us why we do what we do. Recently, our team joined the OCTLA to stuff JoyJars®, a small act of service that reflects our larger purpose. The Top Gun Awards Gala celebrates excellence, integrity, and compassion, the same values that guide Fielding Law every day. Together we are stronger, continuing to advance our mission of service and justice.

Clark Fielding Takes the Main Stage at Law-Di-Gras 2025

By Firm News and Celebrations, Personal Injury

In October 2025, Law-Di-Gras 2025, produced by The National Trial Lawyers, brought together many of the nation’s top trial lawyers at the Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego, California. The event blended education, collaboration, and community, giving attendees a chance to learn from one another and explore the future of the legal field.

Clark Fielding Speaking at Law Di GrasClark Fielding, founding principal of Fielding Law, took the main stage during the Even Up session. His presentation on AI Tools for Case Management Workflows focused on how technology can improve efficiency while keeping client service at the center of every case.

How AI Can Improve Case Management

Clark explained how artificial intelligence can support every step of a personal injury case. He showed that when used correctly, AI tools save time and allow legal teams to focus on helping clients.

He shared examples of how AI can help firms today:

  • Document Management: Sorting and summarizing large amounts of records for better organization.

  • Workflow Coordination: Creating automated reminders and task tracking for every stage of a case.

  • Litigation Preparation: Helping attorneys prepare documents and summaries while keeping attorney oversight.

Clark reminded the audience that technology should enhance human connection, not replace it. AI is most effective when used to support the empathy, care, and skill that define strong client relationships.

A Conference Focused on Growth and Innovation

Law-Di-Gras 2025 was more than a legal conference. It offered wellness activities, networking events, and leadership sessions that encouraged balance and collaboration. Speakers from across the country shared insights about law firm culture, innovation, and client experience.

Clark’s main stage presentation reflected the theme of growth through innovation. He encouraged legal professionals to welcome new tools while staying true to the values that make client service meaningful. His message aligned with Fielding Law’s belief that technology works best when paired with compassion and integrity.

Spreading Joy with NEGU

By Firm News and Celebrations, In the Community

Making a Difference Together

At Fielding Law, we believe in showing up for our community. Recently, several members of our team volunteered at the OCTLA Joy Jar Stuffing Event hosted by the Jessie Rees Foundation (NEGU – Never Ever Give Up).

Clark Fielding, Ryan Cooper, Evelyn McNeil, and Siera Cerulle joined volunteers from across the community to fill JoyJars® for children battling cancer. Each jar was packed with toys, games, and uplifting notes meant to remind every child that they are strong, loved, and never alone.

The experience was heartwarming and inspiring. It gave our team a meaningful way to support families going through difficult times while connecting with NEGU’s powerful message of hope.

About NEGU and the Jessie Rees Foundation

The Jessie Rees Foundation was created in honor of Jessie Rees, a young girl who inspired millions through her strength and compassion. During her own treatment for cancer, Jessie began filling jars with small toys and notes to encourage other children facing similar battles. Her message was simple: Never Ever Give Up.

Today, her legacy continues through NEGU’s outreach programs. Thousands of JoyJars® are delivered each year to hospitals and homes across the world. Each one carries Jessie’s love, her message of resilience, and a reminder that no one fights alone.

Reflections from the Fielding Law Team

The event made a lasting impression on everyone who attended.

Evelyn McNeil shared, “Stuffing the Joy Jars was a good reminder that seemingly small acts of kindness have a huge impact on people’s lives. I was also touched by Jessie’s story and inspired by how she went out of her way to bring light to others’ lives while going through a dark time.”

Siera Cerulle added, “The event gave me a deeper appreciation for the impact cancer has not only on children, but also on their families. It was emotional to witness so many people united by a shared purpose, throughout the NEGU community. I left feeling grateful, motivated, and more aware of how collective effort can make a real difference.”

Supporting the Cause Beyond Volunteering

Fielding Law’s connection with NEGU goes beyond one day of service. Ryan Cooper, Senior Attorney at Fielding Law, is donating a Josh Allen signed football to the 2025 OCTLA Top Gun Awards & Silent Auction.

The proceeds from this event will benefit the Jessie Rees Foundation. In addition, Fielding Law has purchased a table to further support the cause and honor those making a difference in the legal community.

This partnership reflects our shared belief that small acts of kindness can create lasting impact. By supporting NEGU, our team hopes to bring encouragement and strength to children who need it most.

Caring for Clients and Community

When you choose Fielding Law, you are choosing a team that values compassion, integrity, and service. Our dedication to helping others goes beyond our legal work and into the community.

We advocate for injured clients and support organizations like NEGU. Our mission always stays the same. We strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Healing Through Trusted Physical Therapy Connections

By Firm News and Celebrations, Personal Injury

Supporting Clients Beyond the Courtroom

At Fielding Law, we know that recovery after an accident is about more than a case result. Healing requires physical, emotional, and financial support. That is why we build strong connections with trusted professionals who can walk beside our clients on the road to recovery. For many, physical therapy after an accident is one of the most important steps to regaining health and independence.

Fielding Law team group photo with Scott Moncrief of ProSportBrunch and Learn with ProSport

Our team recently welcomed Scott Moncrief of ProSport Physical Therapy Performance for a Brunch and Learn session. Scott shared his expertise on how therapy helps accident victims rebuild strength, reduce pain, and prevent long-term complications. These opportunities allow our attorneys and staff to better understand the treatment process so we can guide clients toward the care they need.

Why Physical Therapy is Important After an Injury

The right physical therapy plan can make the difference between a difficult recovery and a successful one. After an accident, injuries often limit movement, create lasting pain, and disrupt daily life. Without proper treatment, some injuries may even worsen over time. Physical therapy plays a vital role in helping clients overcome these challenges:

  • Pain management: Targeted exercises and treatments can reduce pain without relying heavily on medication.

  • Restoring mobility: Therapy helps improve flexibility and range of motion so clients can return to normal routines.

  • Strength building: Injury can weaken muscles and joints, and therapy rebuilds strength safely.

  • Preventing long-term damage: Early treatment can keep small issues from turning into chronic problems.

  • Boosting confidence: Clients gain independence as they see progress in their recovery.

For many of our clients, physical therapy after an accident is not only about healing the body but also about regaining control and confidence after a difficult experience.

Why Hire Fielding Law

Our mission is to improve the lives of each client through ethical and efficient legal representation. That means fighting for fair compensation while also connecting you with trusted resources that support your healing. Whether it is partnering with respected physical therapists or offering compassionate guidance, Fielding Law is here to help you every step of the way.

If you or a loved one has been injured due to negligence, call 833.88.SHARK today to speak with an experienced member of our team.
