For over 10 years, Mr. Fields has written and lectured on tort lien claims. He self-published a series of lien guides for the profession. The guides are entitled “Lien Guide for the Trial Attorney.” Many of the guides have appeared in legal journals and many of them have been provided as handouts for Mr. Fields’ lectures.
