For the Third Consecutive Year, Steven F. Fairlie, Esquire, Has Been Selected A Member of The National Advocacy for DUI Defense (NAFDD)

Fairlie & Lippy, P.C., a Montgomery County Criminal Defense and Personal Injury firm, is pleased to announce that for the third consecutive year, Managing Partner, Steven F. Fairlie, was recognized by The National Advocacy for DUI Defense (NAFDD), LLC, an organization that recognizes the nation’s best private Driving Under the Influence (DUI) attorneys.

NAFDD identifies the top criminal defense attorneys in each state based upon their experience, reputation, and achievements, among other factors. Those who are selected spend a significant portion of their practice representing individuals accused of DUI offenses.
