Darren S. Fields, Attorney At Law

---

​I graduated from St. John's University in 1995 with a Liberal Arts Degree. After college, I worked as a paralegal for approximately one year before going to law school. In 1996, I followed my dream and enrolled in CUNY Law School at Queens College. While at CUNY Law, I learned the importance of public interest law and the significance of building strong relationships with clients and adversaries. At CUNY Law School, I worked in the Battered Women's Clinic where I represented indigent and immigrant clients in Family Court. This experience taught me how to advocate for clients who were dealing with extraordinary circumstances.
​
I graduated from law school in 1999. I also successfully passed the New York Bar exam the same year. After law school, I embarked on my career in law by working for a knowledgeable and experienced criminal defense attorney who was willing to guide and introduce me to other prominent attorneys in the field. In March of 2000, I was admitted to the New York State Bar in the Second Department. I was encouraged by my mentor, Frank Paone, to immediately put my knowledge and eagerness as a new law school graduate to work by starting my own law office. I continued to work with Frank Paone while also running my own practice. The very first case I tried in late 2000 was an A1 Arson case. The second case I tried was a Murder case. After handling these cases, I felt there was no case I couldn't deal with successfully.

Since 2000, I have handled many cases including drug cases, murder cases, white collar crimes, robberies, etc. I have also handled appeals in the First and Second Departments of the New York State Appellate Division.

Although my business is concentrated in Criminal Law, I have handled Family Law, Real Estate, Estates, and Contracts. Over the years, I have developed a wealth of experience and knowledge to best aid my clients and their families.
