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.

Steven has a thorough understanding of the law as well as any recent court rulings that could impact your case. In my case, he explained the law and potential outcomes, provided me updates along the way and worked together with me to develop a plan of action. Steven possesses excellent negotiation skills which is crucial in working with others involved in your case to help you determine your best path for moving forward.

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.
