My experience with Christine Cregar of Fairlie & Lippy was extremely positive. She explained everything to me in a very professional but simple way. I understood all of my options, including that I didn't actually need an attorney to represent me. I ended up retaining her because I wanted someone knowledgeable in my corner working for me. I'm extremely pleased with the work she did for me and would hire her again if the need arose.

I spoke with Steve Fairlie for a legal matter that needed to be handled for my family. He was one of the only attorneys who was willing to take proactive actions to prevent any further issues with the legal matter. Even after a year, we followed up with Steve and he remembered all the details for our family's case, and he was very patient and helpful with our follow-up questions. He obtained a very pleasing result for us, and was well worth the money we paid for his services.

Mr. Fairlie is providing a great service to the public and I think it needs to be recognized! I believe he has a genuine care for justice and educating. His website has clear definitions of laws, a thread style Q and A option, and he provides his email for more help and clarification. I strongly believe this outreach to the public shows he has the best interest of the entire public at heart and if needed would trust him to represent me in a court room.

I would have never imagined our family needing legal counsel. I cannot express enough how grateful I was to have found Steven Fairlie to represent us. This was a very stressful time for our family and thanks to his expert and thorough counsel we got through this very difficult time. We had no experience with the legal system and was very unfamiliar with this process. Steve was there for us through the whole ordeal and was very professional. Thanks to him we had a favorable outcome.

Steven represented my son in a criminal case, that as a third offence was facing 25-life. Steven was able to get my son 5-10 which is a huge reduction in time and will grant my son a chance to redeem his life while still a young man. Steven's responsibility ended at sentencing, but when my son was called to court to testify, Steve insisted on being present, and said that he wanted to see this through. Steven Fairlie is not just a great lawyer, but also a good person.

I was represented by Steve Fairlie on a legal matter where a lot was at stake, including my Division 1 scholarship and future job prospects. Throughout the proceedings, Steve provided prompt and capable attention to my concerns and exceeded all expectations. While the offense was only a summary offense, I felt as if I was Steve's only client and his most important case. I would highly recommend Steve Fairlie to anyone looking for a top-class attorney that delivers results.

Mr. Fairlie got amazing results for me on a criminal case and got my sentence reduced to 1/10 of what it could have been. He took the stress of the unknown off my chest and made me feel at ease with every step of the process. He was always available and responded promptly to my phone calls and e-mails. It seemed as though he was always awake, working and available at any hour. He was the best counsel possible and I wouldn't consider going to anyone else or even recommending anyone else.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
