Representative Trials and cases:
In late 2006, Mr. Fielding won a take-nothing jury verdict in one of the nation's first nuisance lawsuits against a wind energy development.

Mr. Fielding had extensive responsibilities in that case, deposing over seventy witnesses, including the plaintiffs' key engineering and valuation experts, briefing, arguing, and winning a key motion disposing of plaintiffs' primary claims, and successfully trying the case to the jury.
