Amy L Fairfield

Amy Fairfield is finally suspended!!!!! But she really deserves to be disbarred. She is dishonest in every way possible. She abuses her position and power as an attorney and GAL to persuade the courts by knowingly making false statements and reports. At the time of my case there was nothing I could d...o because she had full immunity as a GAL. By the time the courts realized she had lied, she withdrew from the case but at that point the damage was already done. This is also true when it comes to her billing practices. Amy is also known for discriminating against minorities and people of lower socioeconomic status. Amy Fairfield was hired as a GAL. She knowingly lied and made false statements in her report and to the court resulting in my child being ripped away from her family for 21 months. She refused to recommend our family be reunited unless I paid her. There were multiple times she said “find me the money” and “why should I do anything when you aren’t willing to pay me”. These conversations were all recorded by me personally. Upon asking her for an itemized bill, she could not produce one and said she “wasn’t keeping track of her hours since I wasn’t paying her”. After 21 months the court discovered that she had lied to them and instead of showing up to explain herself, she filed a motion to withdraw from the case. THANKFULLY, the State is beginning to realize the magnitude of her unprofessional and unethical conduct. See below: July 2024- “Amy Fairfield agreed to 6 months of probation after a panel for the Maine Board of Overseers of the Bar found she made unfounded, 'inflammatory' allegations of cover-up against the state.” https://www.pressherald.com/2024/07/25/southern-maine-lawyer-reprimanded-for-allegations-against-prosecutors-crime-lab/ 2019- Fraudulent Billing Investigation begins: https://www.seacoastonline.com/story/news/state/2021/12/13/defense-attorney-amy-fairfield-sued-maine-ag-over-billing-practices/6488435001/ https://www.mainepublic.org/courts-and-crime/2021-07-13/lawyer-withdraws-from-nearly-200-cases-after-not-complying-with-billing-investigation https://www.mainepublic.org/maine/2019-11-14/the-high-cost-of-poor-defense https://www.themainemonitor.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/FairfieldComplaint.pd

My daughter used Amy for her divorce and she impressed me then. My daughter was left with a large bill and I paid it. Further issues arose and my daughter's children accused her with abuse. Child protective was involved. Her 12, 14 and 20 year old refused to return to her home. Knowing this Amy too...k the case giving my daughter hope when there was none. This cost thousands of dollars which I paid. Then my daughter had a foreclosure and we paid even more. Three years later and the case is not resolved and we were still paying. Amy was often late for court or just did not show up. Then I needed a lawyer for an inheritance case. Amy came to my home and while looking at my paperwork got all excited when she saw my murdered cousins name stating that serial killers are her hobby. She took the paperwork that I need for my case and promised to send it back. She never did nor did she contact me regarding if she would be taking the case. You can call and call her, email or and she never responds. Then came my husband who has some type of disorder where is is delusional, paranoid and hears voices. He was arrested and hired Amy. He thinks he I Nostradamus and she took $10,000 from him for a domestic violence/criminal threatening charge. The first hearing myvhusband sat scared asking "where is my lawyer". Amy nrmever showed up. The second hearing and my husband was left once again asking where she was She was 45 min late and he was returned to jail. He was then moved after 8 weeks in the mental health unit in solitary at York County Prison. He was then transferred to a mental health hospital. I spoke to the court and asked where I should forward his mail. They said Amy. I called and wrote emails and all were ignored. She is a horrible lawyer, always missing or late for court dates, doesn't respond to correspondence as simple as where to send his mail. Not only to I think she is a horrible lawyer, out for the money (who takes $10000 from someone so delusional he thinks he is Nostradamus?) and a terrible person in general. I will be issuing complaints to the Attorney General who already investigated her regarding her billing records.

I hired Amy Fairfield for a child custody case. Amy's only interest was to expedite the process and collect as much money for doing so as possible. After three court appearances and one mediation I am no further in the process than when we started. Amy is difficult to have a conversation with, she do...esn't listen to your wants or needs, and all the times I met with her and she appeared in court on my behalf she was disheveled and distracted by something other than my case.

I hired Amy Fairfield with Fairfield and Associates for a very difficult case. She has done what others could not. She is professional, smart and kept me informed on a regular basis. He staff of attorneys and assistants worked as a team and it was clear they were working as a team for my case. No...t all lawyers are equal, and I’ve had a few over the years. Amy will tell you like it is, straight up, and won’t tell you what you want to hear with empty promises. She is strategic and once in court, she is simply the best. You will be glad to have her on your side. She is simply one of Maine’s best attorneys.
