We Take Pride in Our Interns

By Firm News and Celebrations, Personal Injury

Celebrating Our Summer Interns

At Fielding Law, we take pride in welcoming interns who bring energy, curiosity, and fresh ideas to our team. This summer, we are thrilled to have two outstanding interns: Makenzie Moncrief, who joined our marketing team, and Daisy Fontanes, who joined our client success team.

Daisy Fontanes, Intern

Daisy’s Role in Client Success

Daisy stepped into a front-line role, often being the very first voice callers heard when reaching out to our office. Whether she was speaking with medical providers, insurance companies, or potential new clients, she guided each conversation with focus and empathy. She listened to clients’ stories, took down key information, and ensured they were connected with the right team member.

Her days included everything from assisting with case management research to sitting in on file review and litigation meetings, learning from each department through Q&A sessions, and even attending a marketing meeting to see the behind-the-scenes work that connects our firm with the community.

One of Daisy’s most heartfelt contributions was creating over 100 personalized, handmade birthday cards for clients with August birthdays. She also sent handwritten notes and care packages to clients experiencing loss, undergoing surgery, or navigating a difficult moment. Reflecting on her time at Fielding Law, Daisy shared, “During my time here at Fielding Law, I learned that advocacy is not loud, it is focused, empathetic, and human. That quiet strength raised the bar for the kind of work I want to do and the people I want to do it with. Seeing justice pursued in that way is hard to forget.”

Makenzie’s Impact in Marketing

From her first week, Makenzie immersed herself in the creative process, learning our voice and applying it with care. She wrote blogs that reflected our values, created social media captions that connected with our audience, and refined image text to ensure clarity and accessibility. She also filmed and hosted interviews with team members, helping capture stories that show the human side of legal work.

Her work on these projects was not just about producing content; it was about telling stories that matter. Makenzie’s ability to listen, adapt, and refine her work ensured every piece was both polished and authentic. She reflected, “I am deeply grateful for my experience at Fielding Law this summer. It has broadened my perspective and reaffirmed that a future of opportunities lie ahead on my path.”

Why Fielding Law Values Interns

Summer interns like Makenzie and Daisy remind us that mentorship and collaboration are essential to our mission. They bring fresh perspectives, strengthen our team, and embody the caring, capable approach we take to every client relationship. By welcoming them into our processes, we not only help them build their skills, we also benefit from their creativity, insight, and dedication.

We are proud to have had Makenzie and Daisy on our team this summer. We look forward to seeing the impact they will make in their careers.

Internship Insights: What I Learned at Fielding Law

By Firm News and Celebrations, Personal Injury, Public Entity

My internship at Fielding Law was more than a chance to develop my writing skills; it was an eye-opening journey into the legal world and a supportive team culture. At first, I only wanted to improve my professional writing. A family friend, Clark Fielding, encouraged me to apply so I could shadow their Director of Art & Brand Development. That recommendation led to an experience that expanded my knowledge of personal injury law. It introduced me to a team dedicated to kindness, professionalism, and collaboration.

What I Learned About Personal Injury Law

I learned that more situations qualify as valid legal cases than I once believed. For example, if someone trips over an overgrown tree root at a public park, it could be a public entity case. The city or responsible agency may be liable for the negligence if they did not maintain the area. Before this internship, I assumed I would be solely at fault in that situation.

I also realized how many team members work on each case to achieve the best outcome for clients. Each success is the result of coordinated efforts from many professionals.

What Surprised Me Most About Fielding Law

The culture and communication style at Fielding Law is professional, respectful, and supportive. The team strives to uplift each other and communicate with openness and honesty. They truly live the idea of ‘Rise Together.’ They want the best for everyone they meet and give thoughtful, genuine advice.

From observing attorneys and case managers, I saw that even in difficult cases, a positive outlook matters. That attitude helps clients feel more at ease and builds trust in Fielding Law.

Tips I Would Give to Clients Now

Having been on the other side, I understand what it feels like to be injured in an accident. My best advice is to stay positive and remember that calling a law firm does not have to be intimidating. Even if Fielding Law cannot take your case, the team works hard to connect you with a firm that can help. Trusting Fielding Law to handle the legal complexities lifts a huge burden and keeps your case moving forward.

What It Meant to Be a Fielding Law Shark

My favorite project was interviewing each team member in person. This gave me the chance to connect with coworkers on a deeper level and learn about their passion for helping clients. I discovered that I enjoy turning a blank page into a meaningful message. Stepping out of my comfort zone leads to opportunities I did not expect. This Fielding Law internship experience showed me I can pursue bold ambitions. It also inspired me to build a career in multimedia journalism within the fashion industry.

I sincerely thank the Fielding Law team for making me feel welcome and accepted. They are committed to helping everyone grow and become the best version of themselves.

Looking Ahead

Over the past three months, this internship has strengthened my confidence in my abilities. As I work toward a Bachelor of Arts in Communications with an emphasis in Journalism from Brigham Young University, I will carry this experience with me.

Fielding Law values interns and future law students. They take pride in showing how a law firm operates, always leading with kindness, professionalism, and care. Being part of the team has set a high standard for my future, and I am grateful for the example they have given me. This Fielding Law internship experience will continue to guide me as I move forward in my career.

Case Manager Appreciation Day: Celebrating Our Team’s Heart and Dedication

By Firm News and Celebrations

At Fielding Law, we know that behind every successful case is a dedicated case manager working tirelessly to support our clients. To show our deep appreciation for their hard work, compassion, and commitment, we recently celebrated Case Manager Appreciation Day by treating our case managers to a well-deserved day off filled with relaxation and good food.

Our case managers spent the day at Burke Williams Spa in Orange, California, where they enjoyed luxurious treatments designed to refresh the mind and body. After a soothing spa experience, we took them out for a delicious lunch at Finney’s Crafthouse & Kitchen.

Why We Celebrate Case Manager Appreciation Day

Case managers are the backbone of our legal team. They handle the complex details of client communication, coordinate appointments, and ensure that every client feels supported throughout their journey. Their role requires empathy, patience, and exceptional organization skills — qualities that can sometimes be overlooked but are absolutely essential.

By dedicating a day to appreciate their efforts, we want to recognize the invaluable role they play and offer them a chance to recharge. The demanding nature of personal injury law means our case managers often work under pressure, balancing the needs of our clients with tight deadlines and complex logistics. Giving them time to relax and enjoy a break helps boost morale and reminds them that their well-being is just as important as the work they do.

The Meaning Behind This Experience

This day of appreciation is more than just a treat — it is a reflection of our culture at Fielding Law. We believe showing kindness and respect to every team member creates a positive environment that benefits our clients. When case managers feel valued and cared for, they bring their best selves to work each day.

Taking time to say “thank you” encourages camaraderie and motivates our team to keep rising together. This appreciation day reminds us that behind every call and case, there is a person deserving gratitude and support.

Why It Matters to Our Clients

When case managers are supported and appreciated, they are better equipped to advocate for our clients. This means smoother communication, quicker responses, and a more compassionate approach — all of which improve the overall client experience. Our commitment to valuing our team translates directly into better service and stronger outcomes for those who entrust us with their cases.

Why Hire Fielding Law

At Fielding Law, our team is more than just a group of attorneys and staff. We are a community committed to supporting one another and our clients. We understand that every person on our team plays a vital role in providing ethical, efficient, and empathetic legal representation. From our attorneys to our case managers, we work together to ensure you receive the care and attention you deserve.

If you or a loved one need compassionate legal help, do not hesitate to call Fielding Law at 833.88.SHARK today.

“Clark and his team at Fielding Law were outstanding from start to finish. After I was rear-ended, I was left dealing with both vehicle damage and personal injuries. They responded quickly, ensuring I received the medical attention I needed and kept me informed every step of the way. Throughout the entire process, they advocated for me with dedication and professionalism.”

Zachary | Fielding Law – Google California Office

Friday Nights with the Tritons

By Firm News and Celebrations, In the Community

Supporting Local Talent

At Fielding Law, we believe in showing up for our community—on and off the field. That is why we are proud to announce our newest sponsorship: San Clemente High School Football. The Tritons are a powerhouse of heart, hustle, and hometown pride, and we are honored to stand behind these student-athletes this season.

Football and Safety Go Hand in Hand

As personal injury attorneys, we are especially passionate about promoting safety. Football is a game of discipline, teamwork, and resilience—but it also comes with real risks. From head injuries to unsafe field conditions, we understand how important it is to take every precaution seriously.

When athletes are injured due to negligence—whether on school grounds, at away games, or during transportation—families deserve to know their legal rights. We hope no one needs our help, but if they do, we are here.

Why This Partnership Matters

San Clemente is more than a beach town—it is a community that rallies around its youth. Our support for the Tritons reflects our commitment to lifting others up. Whether it is a football team or an injured client, we believe people do better when they feel supported.

Fielding Law is not a massive firm with gimmicks. We are local, responsive, and truly care. That is what makes partnerships like this one so meaningful to us.

OCTLA The Gavel magazine article about negligent security lawyer

$2M Negligent Security Settlement Featured in OCTLA’s The Gavel

By Catastrophic Injury, Firm News and Celebrations, Personal Injury, Premises Liability

Securing Justice in the Face of Violence

At Fielding Law, we are proud to share an important case result. Attorneys Clark Fielding and Ryan Cooper recently secured a $2,000,000 policy limit settlement. The case involved a client who was shot multiple times at a California laundromat.

OCTLA The Gavel Sumer 2025 Article Cover in the mediaThis powerful case result was featured in the Summer 2025 issue of OCTLA’s The Gavel Magazine. The article recognized the legal skill and commitment it took to achieve justice for our client.

A Life Changed in Seconds

Our client was doing his laundry when a verbal disagreement with another customer escalated. That customer pulled a gun and shot our client both inside and outside the laundromat. Although he miraculously survived, the road to recovery was long. He spent months in hospitals and rehabilitation centers, facing physical and emotional trauma.

When the Shooter Has No Assets

The shooter was judgment-proof—meaning he had no assets to pursue in a civil case. Many firms may have stopped there. But we looked deeper.

Neglected Property. Preventable Harm.

We launched an aggressive investigation and uncovered something critical: this laundromat was not safe—and had not been for a long time. Records showed a history of violent crimes both in the laundromat and in the adjacent parking lot. Even more shocking, the property had been purchased by a developer years before the shooting, with plans to redevelop the area. But while awaiting redevelopment, the site had been left to deteriorate into a slum-like condition.

Shifting the Focus—and the Liability

By highlighting years of neglected security, ongoing criminal activity, and a foreseeable threat of violence, our team was able to shift the liability away from the shooter and hold the property owner responsible. The result: a $2,000,000 settlement—the maximum available under the policy.

A Future Rebuilt

Thanks to this outcome, our client will now receive lifetime payments through an annuity and trust. This ensures access to long-term care, financial stability, and the ability to rebuild his life after a tragedy that never should have happened.

Why Hire Fielding Law

At Fielding Law, we are not afraid to take on tough cases—and we never stop at the obvious. Our team understands the deep responsibility that comes with representing injured clients, and we pursue every angle to make sure justice is served.

If you or a loved one has suffered due to negligent security or premises liability, contact Fielding Law or call 833.88.SHARK to speak with an attorney who will truly fight for you.
