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.....

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.

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.SincerelyDeborah H.

my husband is a convicted felon who has recently came home after doing a decade in federal prison. After eight years of being home , and staying out of trouble ,an out the way. My husband stumbled and was arrested for possession with intent. We were really worried because of my husband past. We are glad we stumbled upon Peter Blair’s lawyer firm. They did what they needed to do and were able to avoid trial, and secure a deal ,which insured my husband would not go back to prison. Without any cooperation, or making a statement on anybody else. (Which is everything with us) Working with us ,to where we could make payments in order to afford his services was everything with us. Thank you for being an affordable, standup lawyer Peter Blair. For anybody who is looking for a criminal defense lawyer ,specially in a drug case ,make sure to give this man a call , you can thank us later.

I was referred to Blair Defense by Embry Law (family law). When I called Shradha Shrestha answered my call. She took down my information and told me she would be getting back to me. Honestly, I thought I would never hear from her again. Within 24 hours she gave me the best new I have ever heard. She was attentive, a good listener and she kept her word. I value that so much. I have your number locked in my phone and I will definitely refer people to Blair Defense. Thank you!

I'd like to recommend anyone seeking criminal legal counsel, to seek Peter Blair. My family had recently been struck with legal trouble after one of my family members was involved in a dispute that was escalated. Peter personally took charge of the case, and was able to get all charges dropped citing self defense. Of course I cannot go into great detail but the case and the charges were as serious as you can imagine. I can't thank him enough from the bottom of my heart and my entire family. If you're in need of serious representation, I'd highly recommend Peter and his firm.

Peter Blair is not only very knowledgeable about the law and criminal justice system but he also really cares for this clients and will do whatever he can to help them. He is honest and helps you sometimes look at things in a different perspective, which is not always something you may want to hear but it helps you get the big picture if need be. Peter helped my sons father go from getting 10 years minimum prison time down to barley 2 years. Not only was he there for us while my husband at the time was dealing with court, but he was also there for us while he served time all across the country. Literally, in 5 different states. Peter was there for us every step of the way which gave us sense of security, knowledge, understanding and peace. I was pregnant with our son at the time so this was extremely important and helpful. I don’t know how many times I contacted Peter and he answered all the questions I had without me feeling like an inconvenience. Not only is Peter one of the best lawyers in San Diego but he’s also a family man so he truly understands how important family is and keeping them together, which i believe is one of the qualities that makes him the great lawyer that he is. Peter also has great resources, unfortunately during my husbands first case his work wrongfully terminated him. Peter pointed us in the right direction and got us in contact with a lawyer that won our case. To top it off, Never did I think that I’d need a lawyer for myself but when I did, Peter was there for me too. He got my felony completely dropped which saved my clean record. Another quality I really liked about Peter is that he gets back to you no matter what time you contact him. Weekends, Holidays and after office hours, there’s no such thing as 9-5 because whenever you need him, he is there. Peter also owns up to misunderstandings, even if they’re your fault. I misunderstood that for my B&R I needed to bring my court paperwork. Since I showed up without it I couldn’t do the B&R which meant I was a “no show“ and could get jail time, but Peter didn’t let that happen. He told the judge it was his fault, misunderstanding that I “missed” the B&R and because of this the judge gave me two more months to have it completed. I could go on and on about our 3+ years experience with Peter, how great it was and how thankful we are but know this. Picking Peter to handle your case(s) and represent you, a family member or a friend, is something you will not regret, but be thankful for. He is truly a blessing. Thank you Peter for everything you have done, not only for myself but for my family too.

I would like to thank Peter & Joseph for handling my case with professionalism and diligence. I retained Peter in 2018 and I am his longest standing case to date with his firm. From day one he made the right choice moving forward in my case. Pete and his team are exceptional at what they do and how they fight for their clients. I was facing a lot of time and a lot of fines. I'm not new to the courtroom and how the system works, at the same time I'm no career criminal. All I can say is that I was facing 20+ yrs and more restitution then most people make over several years. There were several co defendants that chose a cheaper route in this case. Lets just say you get what you pay for...As of today I never saw the inside of a cell and only stepped in a courtroom two times in 5 years. Pete basically had my charges reduced to pretty much nothing with little probation and I can't say that for the rest involved. Pete knows his way around the legal system and knows what they hell to do and when the hell to do it.... If you don't hire this guy then I truly wish you the best, and you will wish you did. Pete is head and shoulders above the rest along with any other attorneys I have ever worked with. Today I'm stress free with my friends and family all thanks to this man and his team!!! I could go on for a long time speaking on his prowess and how he has mastered his craft. He doesn't beat around the bush, he shoots straight and hits hard. I hope I never have to hire an attorney again but if I do I have him on speed dial...I don't care how minor it is, I'm calling the Blair firm as should you. Thanks again Pete from myself and my family as well.Earnest

Peter Blair’s Firm is #1 !My daughter was arrested 2 years ago for controlled substance. She was facing criminal charges. As a parent I was beyond frightened. I reached out and they took over.

Brian M

1680404325

Having no idea which way to turn in an unfortunate legal situation, and never have needed an attorney for a criminal case before, I was left to searching the internet for an attorney. Literally hundreds of attorneys are advertised online. Who do you choose? Choosing the right attorney is the most critical and pivotal decision one will have to make with getting the best possible outcome for their legal concerns and for counsel over the lengthy legal process. After doing my due diligence and consulting with as many people that I could to ensure I chose the best attorney for the job, I chose Peter Blair at the Blair Defense Firm. I knew from the first call I made to him that he was a stern, no nonsense, straight to the point, and ready to work individual who was fair with his fees. To make a long story short, Peter Blair and his associate Joe Seipel came up with a game plan, executed it, and delivered exactly what they said they would do. I don’t know how they did it, but after several months, a lot of work, and with my case involving unique circumstances; in the end my case was dismissed. I would highly recommend the Blair Defense firm to anyone looking for an experienced and strong attorney and law firm to take on their case.

SHAHEENA

1674625713

A little over a year ago, my loved one was facing a charge that was so devastating, we didn't know where to begin. Peter fought like hell for my family from day one. He believed in us, and it showed in the court room. He prepared us for the worse- but DELIVERED the best and we are forever grateful. My heart truly goes out to whoever is reading this review because I know the chaos & despair of trying to choose the right person to be your voice when it feels like the world is against you. The fear of the unknown.. But from the bail hearing all the way to the conclusion of the case- Peter was the best decision we could have made. His wisdom, experience & knowledge of the legal system undeniably made all the difference for my family. He was the second lawyer we hired and my only regret is not hiring him first. My family walked into that courtroom with the weight of the world on our shoulders, knowing the chips were stacked so high against us- we walked out with tears of joy and gratitude. He knocked down all the lies in such a relatable way that somehow it forced the judge to see the truth. Peter is the best- he's all my family has been talking about since the conclusion of the case. We will never forget how he gave us what money couldn't buy- PEACE for the first time in over a year.

I reached out to Peter Blair‘s office initially with just some questions. They were knowledgeable, helpful, comforting and empathetic towards my situation. Joe was very responsive throughout the whole process. I highly recommend their stellar team and will trust them again for any of my future legal matters.

Andres Fernandez

Mr. Blair, is very professional and reliable. I got in contact with him and that same day we were able to meet in person and go over the situation. He handled my case in a manner that I was able to be at ease. He took care of everything. I was very confident in knowing that he would represent me. I will keep on recommending him to anyone who is ever in need of a great attorney.

Edgar Hernandez

1672784416

This law firm will be the only one I will ever be recommending to any family member, friend, or even stranger. I was convicted of a dui back in July 2022, and had trouble completing the courts requests due to living out of county. I had went to court 5 times and had 3 different public defenders. Which neither helped my case because of lack of experience.I was fortunate enough to find Blair’s firm after calling several other firms in the area who were either over pricing themselves or did not sound knowledgeable in my case. Blairs firm immediately started on my case after being hired and went above and beyond for me and helped me finally complete the courts requests.
