As General Counsel for Newport Television I knew we needed an excellent bankruptcy counsel as we navigated the pool of various clients who filed bankruptcy while owing us money. Mike and his team at Husch Blackwell did a tremendous job and they were especially great about explaining complex bankruptcy issues in an easy to understand manner. I would recommend Mike's services to anyone who asked.

I was general counsel of a large bulk mineral products company. With a large customer base, there were always changes in their financial situations, including bankruptcies. Michael proved to be very innovative in maximizing our recoveries, even after a customer had defaulted and filed for bankruptcy. Because of his results, he became my go-to attorney for creditor's rights in any U.S. bankruptcy proceeding. I recommend Michael highly for bankruptcy issues and especially for creditor representation in bankruptcies.

Michael Fielding has assisted me with some difficult legal questions on several occasions on a pro bono basis. He has ALWAYS given me his complete and thorough legal expertise without skimming or hurrying over any aspect of analysis and potential risk. He returns calls and emails promptly and treats me not only with great courtesy but also with compassion. It is evident he has a clear understanding of the issues. What surprised me was his foresight into potential areas of further legal complications that I hadn’t envisioned, and the thoughtful and kind way he explained and counseled me in ways to handle my unique position that was bound with others in a tough situation. With his legal guidance, I was able to resolve the looming legal hazards. He is a man of highest integrity and honesty. Although he has been honored by peers and received other accolades, his most outstanding characteristics, for me, are his brilliant mind coupled with his heart. That is a rare combination in an attorney. I can unequivocally recommend him to you.

Michael is a genuinely honest and just man with high integrity. I have used Michael’s legal services since 2007 on a variety of contractual and bankruptcy related issues. Based upon his advice and expertise, I consider him to have an excellent legal mind that understands the nuances of dealing with complex business decisions. Michael has been able to clearly outline potential pitfalls which were not readily apparent and his guidance has provided me with a sound platform to structure multiple financial affairs. He has been highly responsive to my needs as challenging and urgent issues have come up with minimal warning.

I retained Michael Fielding to assist me in my capacity as the Chapter Seven Bankruptcy Trustee of the Brooke Corporation and related companies. The task was significant and complex. Michael had the expertise for the assignment and has been diligent in his representation. He was also effective and efficient in his representation.

As the finance/collection manager for a small, privately owned manufacturing company, I had difficulty finding an attorney that was an advocate for the creditor - Eight years ago, this all changed for me when I became acquainted with Michael Fielding. We spent nearly an hour on the phone, which led to a two hour meeting at his offices the same week. At that meeting, he was engaged, and really listened – I remember that day… and how I felt a lot less “alone”, and so relieved that I now had a partner. Reviewing the issues I brought to the table, he was able to discern weaknesses in my processes, and offered safeguards that have been in place, and protected the assets of my organization ever since. (that was eight (8) years ago!) Mike is always available, no matter how small the issue may be. If it has me concerned, or worried, it becomes his concern. He responds immediately to phone calls, and emails, which, not only gives me incredible peace of mind, but, it allows me to keep moving, and get my job done, instead of getting hung up on something, and unable to proceed because I’m waiting for my attorney to call back. That just never happens. Never. Mike knows what I do is important to me, and to my organization, therefore, it’s important to. In the last several years that Mike has been my attorney, not only has he provided us with superior representation, but he's also taught me so much! I operate with more confidence, and I'm able to assess things so much more effectively. Another aspect of having Mike in my corner, is this incredible network of people that he can call on if there's a situation that requires something/someone more to attain the best results for me. No effort is spared. Currently, I’m working with one of Mike’s colleagues (due to the venue) and that too, has been such positive and productive experience; and Mike has followed up /checked in with me all along the way. Overall, Michael Fielding is brilliant legal mind. He’s personable, dedicated, insightful, and invested in what’s important to me, as his client. My concern is his concern – For as long as I’m in this business, my business will remain with Michael Fielding. I can’t imagine being anywhere else.
