I can’t say enough about the job Peter Blair and his team did for me. My case went on for over two years, with a lot of different stages and challenges along the way, and they never once let up. They were always prepared, always responsive, and clearly knew how to navigate the system better than anyone else in the room.

You could tell right away that the court and the other attorneys respected them, which makes a huge difference when you’re in the middle of something serious. They fought hard for me from day one, and their strategy and persistence made all the difference in the outcome.

Their services reflect the caliber of representation they provide — exceptional skill, thorough preparation, and unwavering dedication. In matters where the outcome truly matters, that level of advocacy is worth every penny. I am profoundly grateful for their work and would recommend Blair Defense without hesitation.

Thank you so much for all the great work! Didn’t think I would get such a great deal. Now I can get my life back on track.

As a prior service Veteran with 14 years of active duty, I’ve faced my share of challenge but nothing quite like the situation that led me to Mr. Peter Blair. From the very beginning, Mr. Blair and his team treated me with respect, compassion, and professionalism. He not only fought hard for my case, but he gave me something even more valuable and that was a sense of hope.

Because of his expertise and dedication, I was able to get my life back. I can now move forward and pursue my dream of becoming a Nurse while I am currently accepted into the Nursing program at National University, and most importantly, I can provide the basic needs to a better future for my wife and two kids. I truly don't know where I’d be without Mr. Peter Blair. If you’re in a tough spot and need someone who genuinely cares and will fight for you, Peter Blair is the lawyer you want by your side.

Peter & his team were awesome in helping our family member with a recent charge. He spent time with our family making sure we all were informed on what’s next and talk to us on weekends. He is a wonderful, knowledgeable attorney. We were from out of state I cannot say enough about his dedication to his clients. A+ Lawyer!

Pete/Joe do amazing work. They were able to change my life. They care so much about what they do.

Peter and his team were amazing. I felt completely comfortable with them and they were very professional. They got me the outcome i had hoped for and in a timely fashion. I hope i don't need him again but if I do I know who to call.

Working with Attorney Seipel was a relief. He handled everything with care and confidence, and the result was better than I could’ve hoped for. Truly thankful and would absolutely recommend him.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding legal support we received from Peter Blair during a very difficult time. A close friend was facing serious legal challenges, and from our very first interaction, Peter was not only highly professional but also genuinely compassionate and reassuring. He took the time to explain every step of the legal process in a way that we could clearly understand, and always made himself available to answer our questions and ease our concerns. His deep knowledge of the law and confident presence in court gave us much-needed peace of mind throughout the case. Most importantly, Peter went above and beyond to fight for the best possible outcome—and delivered.
If you are looking for a defense attorney who is not only incredibly skilled but also truly cares about his clients, I highly recommend Peter Blair. He made a very difficult time more manageable, and we are forever grateful for his help.

I Google search up and decided to choose Blaire Dedense and recently had a positive outcome and great service. My lawyer Joe Seipel reprenting me put me at ease and explaining all possible outcomes through our the process and stages that we're to come. Always available to answer all questions thru phone conversations texting and emailing. I highly recommend this law firm.

Joseph was amazing and super communicative throughout the whole case. He got me my license back and truly was just on top of it. Highly highly recommend working with him and hiring him!!

Blair’s Defense team, was highly communicative and responsive with any concerns or questions my partner had. We had the pleasure of working with attorney Peter Blair, he was exceptionally on point during the defense!
Attorney Mr.Peter Blair represented my partner for almost seven years and with his efforts was able to get my partner an expungement from a felony to misdemeanor. Grateful for the help and support of this team! Highly recommend!

Looking for great and reasonably priced lawyers? You gotta go with them! Peter and Joe were so helpful with my case and got me the best result I could have asked for. Don’t think too much about it and just go with Blair Defense! I seriously can’t recommend them enough.

Honestly left it in their hands, i felt good about it all. They made sure to reach out to inform everything that happens at court, they show up for you. Case got dismissed thanks to Blair defense and his team and highly recommend him especially if it’s your first time getting into something serious! Your mind will be at ease with them on your case!

Without getting to involved in my case I just want to say I was nervous from the get go. A friend recommended me to the Blair defense team and I felt at ease from the start. I was a multi offender looking at some serious outcomes. The whole team worked together and I was able to walk away with a fair but more favorable outcome come myself. I thought the worst and they were able to get my case lowered to the least possible outcome and let me walk away with a fresh start. I would recommend anyone in that team to help/save you from any cases you may be concerned about.

Mr. Peter Blair has been working tirelessly on my brother’s legal battles, and our family has complete faith and confidence in his ability to bring a positive resolution. He has shown professionalism, compassion, and strong communication every step of the way.

One of my biggest regrets is not finding Mr. Blair sooner for my own legal case—had I done so, I truly believe I could have avoided losing years of my life that I’ll never get back.

What sets Mr. Blair apart is not just his legal expertise, but his respectful and understanding approach, especially toward our family, who faces multiple disability-related challenges. His patience and empathy have meant the world to us.

We are deeply grateful for Mr. Blair and everything he’s done. He’s more than just an attorney—he’s an advocate we trust completely.

I’ve recently found myself in a serious legal situation due to personal issues that spiraled out of control. While my case is still ongoing, I wanted to write this review now—just in case I’m unable to later. From day one, Peter Blair has been nothing but professional, thorough, and dedicated in handling my multiple cases. Both myself and my family have complete trust in his ability to defend me, and we’ve felt confident throughout this difficult time.

Peter has also referred me to other attorneys for civil and financial matters, all of whom spoke very highly of him and shared full confidence in his capabilities. His reputation is clearly well-earned.

What stands out most is that Peter doesn’t just bring a proven track record—he offers fair and reasonable rates that have made this entire process more manageable. His office has made a stressful situation feel less overwhelming, and for that, I’m incredibly grateful.

The Law Office of Peter Blair is my go-to team for any (hopefully no more) future legal issues. I will forever be grateful to Peter and his associates for their commitment, compassion, and relentless defense.

I am really very grateful to the lawyer Peter Blair helped me in my DUI case quickly and effectively, I can say that he exceeded my expectations and hopes getting a better result than expected it was really the best choice that my family and I made when hiring his representation services.

Did a great job with helping my friend get the results he wanted with his case. I would definitely recommend giving them a chance if you're ever loss on what to do!

My wife had what we considered a tough DV case and facing all odds, Mr. Blair was able to get the charges dismissed! He is an amazing lawyer and recommend him to anyone needing a defense attorney

My partner was taken into custody on a serious charge and Mr. Blair was a life saver! He answered the questions I had before even hiring him and his team. He helped to calm my nerves and gave me confidence in a positive outcome. He was able to fight the case for us and she was released quickly. I'm very thankful I found him and his great team. They all were very helpful during the whole process. Thank you Mr. Blair for all your help during this difficult time.

Peter Blair has been such a blessing to work with. I highly recommend him to anyone in need. He is very professional and knowledgeable in his field.

Mr. Blair make what seem to be impossible possible. He represented me and got me out of jail the same day! He even reduced my felony to a misdemeanor! Ill pick Mr. Blair over any other attorney any day. Thanks alot Mr.Blair!

After having a HORRIBLE experience with a different law firm (Elite Criminal Defense) I was apprehensive on hiring Mr. Blair but by far he exceeded my expectations! He has great communication skills and was able to help my family when we need it a great lawyer the most!
Mr. Blair was very professional, understanding and compassionate when it came to the sensitivity of our case! I will definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable, professional and Thorough lawyer!!
1000⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very attentive and immediately got on track. His responses and updates were always very prompt and fast! Recommend him very much such an understanding and compassionate man as well.

He was amazing, always attentive and responsive, very communicative about the case and what was going on.

Peter Blair has been great to work with. He is very responsive and makes you feel like you're his only client. He took very good care of me and was all over the case for me. I would highly recommend him and would not hesitate to work with him again in the future. Class A service and expertise.

Peter Blair has been a blessing to me and my family. He was very honest and strait forward about the possible outcome of my sons case which give us a sense of some relief of knowing what to possibly expect. But, due to his hard work and dedication to us we received excellent results at the end of the case. I personally thank you for your care, honesty and patience under our circumstances. I would recommend anyone to you that would come to me for a lawyer consultation. Thanks agin!

I can’t thank Peter enough for the support and expertise he provided during a stressful situation. He was incredibly responsive, always quick to answer my questions, and showed a deep understanding of the law and my situation. He also spoke directly with the deputy involved, which brought me much-needed closure quicker than I expected. If you're looking for a lawyer who is knowledgeable, efficient, and truly cares about resolving your case, Peter is highly recommended.

I recently had the pleasure of encountering Peter Flair at the El Cajon Courthouse, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for his assistance. I had been off probation for almost a year, but due to a clerical error, the Department of Justice still had me listed as being on probation. This error was causing significant delays in my hiring process at a school where I had been offered a job. San Diego City College, actually speaking at High School, my story, to help kids... I was really looking forward to this job. Despite my best efforts, including multiple calls to probation and visits to the courthouse, I was getting nowhere and felt completely stuck. I even tried to reach out to my public defender on the case, but what would you know, she was out of town for a week.
One day two of trying to figure what I was going to have to do to fix this, I went to the courthouse again. I decided I was going to actually go right into the public defender's office and ask for an officer on duty. Furthermore, I had forgotten my minute orders at home, so I was sitting in line with a ticket to be seen to pay for my minute orders again. As I was sitting there, there's that line that's just for attorneys, a gentleman, obviously an attorney, walked in. As he conducted his business, I decided to take a chance and ask, which I now know as Peter Flair, for help. I figure what's the worst he could do, but tell me no or send me to a legal aid clinic like everyone else was. Or express that he was too busy and doesn't give out legal advice. Or even to request me to call his office to set up a free consultation. I was prepared to get anything as a reply. But I do know that it takes many "no's" sometimes to get a yes. He was there on other business, but after hearing my situation, he immediately stepped in to assist me. Peter spoke directly to the clerk, had my case pulled, and got me on the calendar. But then we didn't even need to get on calendar. He just got the clerk to resend the paperwork that was needed that never got sent to DOJ.. He handled everything with such professionalism and efficiency, ensuring that the necessary paperwork was sent to the Department of Justice right then and there.
Peter's random act of kindness completely turned my situation around. He made what seemed like an insurmountable problem disappear in a matter of minutes. His willingness to help, even though I was not his client at the time, speaks volumes about his character and dedication to justice. I highly recommend Peter Flair to anyone in need of legal assistance. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, but also genuinely cares about helping others. I can only imagine how he is for his clients.
We all have our walks of adversity, some more than others. I have faced a lot in my life. I am not happy about it, but I can say that I have lived two kinds of life: one that everyone hears about, which ends up needing an Attorney, and now, for the last two years, I have totally changed my life. Furthermore, I am in school with honors today, about to get my Associate's degree, and will transfer to the University of San Diego to get my Bachelor's degree. I have regained custody of both my children. I am a single mom, and I am on the path to obtaining all my goals, no matter what the obstacle is. I will get there. Peter effortlessly lifted a significant burden off my shoulders by simply being a compassionate human being. Thank you, Peter, for your exceptional service and for making a profound difference in my life.....

Works extremely quick and efficiently. I tell everybody the story of Peter Blaire and how reassuring his presence was. He told me everything that would happen, and it all went to plan. Cant express anymore gratitude to him for what hes done. I fully recommend this lawyer without a doubt in my mind that hes the best option.

Mr. Seipel effectively managed a complex restraining order case for me & successfully prevented false criminal charges despite multiple unfounded allegations toward me. His effective communication with the City Attorney & skilled court performance were crucial to achieving a positive outcome. I am grateful that I hired an experienced attorney because if not, I would for sure be battling a false criminal case now which would have negative consequences for my life. Mr. Seipel’s professionalism & expertise were evident throughout the legal matter. I am very satisfied with his services & the outcome of my case. I highly recommend Mr. Seipel for his exceptional legal representation. I hope Mr. Seipel continues to have success in his profession & a happy life.

Blair Defense is exceptional. They not only excel in their profession but are compassionate, sympathetic and care about the people they represent no matter the degree of case. They walk you through every step and communicate effectively what is required of you. I could not have asked for a better defense. Because of them I can now look to a future free of worry and fear of putting my life on hold. I am optimistic for life ahead and the dreams I can now make a reality. Thank you Peter Blair and Joe Seipel, for everything.

Attorney Blair and his team did an amazing job on my case from start to finish. I started with a public defender who had the US attorneys best interest in mind which meant an outrageous sentence, obviously I knew I needed better representation that’s when I called attorney Blair who began immediately working hard on my case and received a greatly reduced sentence. I’m grateful and would recommend this firm to anyone in need of representation.

Excellent experience from start to finish. A family member was charge with a felony crime that can be looking at a charge of 5 to 10 yrs in prison.I called a few Criminal Defense Attorney, I was told that there was nothing else they can do. Went on google found Blair Defense. After reading his bio, I was convince that he was the attorney that can help with the case. I reached out to Atorney Blair immediately. He responded immediately and shortly started working on the case. He was up front and laid out clear plan of actions and they were executed. There are no words to describe how greatful, I am with outcome and results. Looking to serve 5 to 10 years, he got it down to 34 months, 2 years time serves and a few months with a program etc. Thank You Attorney Blair!!!!

I was looking at some serious prison time for a pre-meditated attempted murder charge. Lucky for me my family sought out the help of Mr.Peter Blair. It was about a year and an half ordeal but I finally ended up taking a pretty solid plea-deal. I was looking at life without parole but I only ended up with a two year sentence. Thanks again Mr.Blair…. I guess not all hero’s wear capes.

Got recommended by a friend of mine and I’m glad he did. As soon as I called I can tell Peter and his team has experience. Always available to answer my questions & explain the process. Having him on my corner while going through the court system gave me the confidence I needed to keep me at ease.

I had the privilege of working with Blair Defense Criminal Lawyers and Mr. Blair during a very challenging time in my life. Facing three felony charges was incredibly daunting, but Mr. Blair's expertise and dedication made all the difference. His strategic approach and deep understanding of criminal law were evident from the start. Thanks to his efforts, I was able to secure a plea deal that resulted in only two years of probation, rather than facing harsher penalties. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Blair was professional, responsive, and compassionate. He took the time to explain each step, answer all my questions, and provide reassurance when I needed it most. The outcome far exceeded my expectations, and I am grateful for his tireless work on my behalf. If you find yourself in need of a skilled criminal defense attorney, I highly recommend Blair Defense Criminal Lawyers and Mr. Blair.

Blair Did a outstanding job on my case .he mad sure I didn't get took away from my kids and he also got a charge drop .if anyone is looking for someone to have they back it will be Blair Defense .thanks again guys for keeping me out of jail ❤️🙏 highly suggest you guys to book Blair for your case

This is the 1 year anniversary of my business ending with Peter. I recently saw him on a high profile case on the news and my whole family rushed to the TV like we were watching a dear old friend. We knew the person he was defending was in the best possible hands and there isn't an attorney on the PLANET who can produce the outcomes Peter can. When I found Peter's name among a mountain of "5-Star" attorneys, it felt impossible to know who was real- and who just has good reviews on paper.. but let me say this- PETER FOREVER CHANGED THE ENTIRE TRAJECTORY OF OUR FAMILY'S LIVES FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. The legal system isn't built for the innocent- its built for prosecutors to win- regardless of innocence. And believe me- don't waste your time hoping the prosecutor will see the truth and back off- they don't give a damn about your innocence. Once they have charged u- it doesn't matter what comes out- they're gonna move forward.. Their only concern is winning. That's why Peter was such a blessing to our family. He had us focus our energy on only PROOF and facts. He underpromised and over delivered. He was not the first attorney we hired, but u better believe he's the only one I will call ever again.

I highly recommend Peter Blair/Blair Defense. I hired Peter to represent my son who was facing multiple serious felony charges. Peter is a dedicated, professional, knowledgeable & caring attorney. I believe Peter's representation in court resulted in the best outcome possible. My son received a substantially reduced sentence over what was expected considering the charges. Peter was always very responsive to any questions & returned calls promptly not only in the evening but also on weekends. When I initially contacted Blair Defense, I spoke with Shradha Shrestha, Legal Assistant @ Blair Defense. Shradha put me in touch with Peter within minutes of my initial call.
Peter & I discussed my son's charges in detail & he answered my questions. I had a few other phone conversations with Peter before making the decision to hire him & he was always available to answer my questions promptly & without time constraints.
The excellent communication with Peter & Shradha continued throughout the case until sentencing & still continues. I am so thankful I found Peter Blair/Blair Defense. If you need an incredible criminal defense attorney in San Diego, do not hesitate to contact & hire Peter Blair.
Peter is an exceptional, dedicated, caring professional!
Sincerely,

Gail B.

They helped me find a cheaper bail bondsmen than any of the bondsmen I could find and helped me feel secure about what was going on and what would happen. Charges were dropped completely before I ever went to court. Highly recommended!

I don’t normally leave reviews but peter truly deserves recognition here. Facing any sort of criminal charges is extremely stressful and scary, the entire time peter was transparent, genuine, and always had my best interest in mind. He was very easy to work with and always over communicated what was happening which was very reassuring. I would recommend all of my friends/family to Peter and his team.

Recently a family member was charged with several Federal felonies . It had been well over 15 years since any contact with law enforcement. I hired Peter Blair Defense Team. Mr. Blair answered all my emails and questions in a timely manner and fought aggressively and tirelessly for my Family Members case. Mr. Blair is absolutely a professional defense lawyer, whom I would recommend to any one facing serious charges, he went right to work for me and immediately put my mind at ease over what my cousin was being charged with, his staff worked diligently to process all her proceedings . I have total confidence in his defense style. Definitely a 5 star lawyer. Thank you for all your services.
Sincerely
Deborah H.
