A California Firm’s Arizona Office That Publishes Its Losses Alongside Its Wins

Inside Fielding Law, APC, the Irvine-founded boutique injury firm that opened a real Phoenix office in 2019 — and whose own case-results page includes a jury verdict for the defense, not just the settlements that went its way.

ORIGIN

From Irvine to Renaissance Tower

Clark H. Fielding earned a B.S. in Management with a Finance emphasis from Brigham Young University’s Marriott School of Business before earning his J.D. from Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law, where he was a Pedrick Scholar and won the CALI Award for Constitutional Law II. Before law school he worked as a commercial construction project manager, and before that as a forensic accountant for an expert-witness firm — a background the firm frames as informing how it values and litigates catastrophic-injury cases.

Fielding has practiced personal injury law since 2010 and founded Fielding Law, APC in 2019, opening for business simultaneously in Southern California and Arizona rather than starting in one state and expanding later. The firm’s Phoenix office, at One Renaissance Tower in downtown Phoenix, is staffed with attorneys separate from the Irvine headquarters, including senior attorney Ryan W. Cooper.

PRACTICE

A Genuinely Dual-State Practice, Not a Marketing Satellite

Readers evaluating out-of-state firms with Arizona city pages should know the difference between a marketing footprint and a real practice: Fielding is personally admitted to the State Bar of Arizona (in addition to California), the firm maintains a staffed physical Phoenix office, and its case-results page includes matters litigated specifically in Maricopa County Superior Court — evidence of a genuine Arizona docket rather than a lead-generation site routing calls to California. The firm’s practice areas span car, motorcycle, and pedestrian accidents; catastrophic and traumatic brain injury; wrongful death; product liability; and premises liability, along with newer case categories like e-bike and autonomous-vehicle collisions.

Prospective Arizona clients should still understand the firm’s center of gravity is Irvine, California, where its Founding Principal and largest office are based; the Phoenix office is a genuine but smaller satellite of a California-headquartered practice.

TRACK RECORD

The Results Board

Fielding Law publishes an itemized case-results page that, unusually for this series, discloses at least one unfavorable outcome alongside its settlements: a Riverside County, California premises-liability jury trial that resulted in a defense verdict for the opposing side. The firm’s Arizona-specific results include a jury award following denied liability.

RESULT	TYPE (AS REPORTED BY THE FIRM)
$1,660,000	Jury verdict after the defendant denied liability (Arizona)
$1,400,000	Settlement — husband and wife struck by a vehicle that crashed through the building where they worked
$601,000	Settlement — car accident with an impaired driver, low visible property damage
$42,500	Settlement — motor vehicle accident involving a rideshare driver
Defense verdict	Premises liability jury trial, Riverside County, CA — disclosed by the firm as a loss
“$92+ million” (aggregate)	Total case results across California and Arizona, per the firm

CLIENT VOICE

What Clients Report

One client, describing a collision in which the other driver initially blamed them to police at the scene, said Fielding “was able to get our side of the story reported to the police” and secured a settlement the client called beyond what they thought possible. Another reviewer praised the firm’s responsiveness, saying Fielding “will actually answer your calls and emails,” and credited him with explaining the process “in layperson terms.” A referring Arizona attorney separately described interactions with the firm’s attorneys and support staff as “top notch.” Awesome Attorneys did not locate negative or critical client reviews of the firm in its research, though the publicly disclosed defense verdict noted above provides a more complete picture than reviews alone.

COMMUNITY

Beyond the Courtroom

Fielding has served as a court-appointed arbitrator for the Superior Court of Arizona, Maricopa County, and has judged mock trial competitions through the American Mock Trial Association. He has also appeared as a guest on the One Thousand Gurus podcast discussing leadership and career values. Awesome Attorneys did not find documentation of Arizona-specific charitable giving or nonprofit board service tied to Fielding individually, as distinct from his California-based community activity.

RECOGNITION

Peer Standing

Fielding has been selected as a Super Lawyer for five consecutive years as of 2026, a peer-nominated distinction, and has also been named among Orange County’s Top 50 attorneys by Super Lawyers — both California-based recognitions rather than Arizona-specific ones. The firm’s Justia listing also references Best Lawyers in America and TopVerdict.com recognition, and Fielding has received Avvo’s Client’s Choice Award for eleven consecutive years. Awesome Attorneys did not find an Arizona-specific Super Lawyers selection or an Arizona State Bar Board of Legal Specialization certification for Fielding, whose peer recognition appears concentrated in California.

THE LAW

The Arizona Backdrop, in Plain English

Readers considering a personal injury claim in Arizona should understand a few ground rules. What follows is general information, not legal advice.

The two-year clock. Arizona’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of injury (A.R.S. § 12-542).

Suing the government is faster and stricter. Claims against Arizona public entities require a formal notice of claim within 180 days (A.R.S. § 12-821.01) and a lawsuit within one year (A.R.S. § 12-821).

Fault is shared, not all-or-nothing. Arizona follows pure comparative negligence (A.R.S. § 12-2505): an injured person’s recovery is reduced by their percentage of fault, but not eliminated even if they were mostly at fault.

Minors get more time. The limitations clock is generally paused for minors and people of unsound mind until the disability ends (A.R.S. § 12-502).

ASSESSMENT

The Awesome Attorneys View

Fielding Law’s willingness to publish a disclosed defense verdict alongside its settlements is genuinely unusual in this series and is a point in the firm’s favor for transparency — most firms’ public results pages are curated to show only wins. The firm’s Arizona presence also clears the bar this series applies to out-of-state operators: a real, staffed Phoenix office and a founder personally admitted to the Arizona bar, not a lead-generation microsite.

The honest trade-off: Fielding’s center of gravity, his largest recognition (Super Lawyers, Top 50 Orange County attorney), and his longer track record are all California-based: the Arizona office and its results are the newer, smaller part of the practice. An Arizona client should ask directly which attorney — Phoenix-based or Irvine-based — will actually handle their file day to day.
