He’s been recognized as 'Lawyer of the Year' multiple times, and it shows—his knowledge of criminal defense, especially DUI and white-collar crimes, is unmatched. While his legal expertise is outstanding, the billing process could be more transparent. That said, his strategic approach and calming demeanor during a high-stakes trial gave me confidence. Highly recommend.

Steven Ellis Farese provided competent legal representation during my white-collar criminal defense case. His extensive experience, particularly in white-collar and DUI cases, was evident in how he navigated the complexities of my situation. Farese's recognition as a Lawyer of the Year in criminal defense speaks for itself, and he clearly knows his way around the Tupelo legal system. However, communication was a bit inconsistent—sometimes I had to follow up multiple times for updates, and responses weren't always prompt. While his strategy was sound, I had to manage my expectations regarding how quickly things would move. The outcome was fair, but the process felt slower than anticipated. For someone needing a strong defense in complex cases, he's a solid choice, but those who prioritize frequent, hands-on communication might find the pace frustrating.
