Sparrow & Fairchild – Attorneys at Law


Jimmie Sparrow, III standing next to a brick wall

Attorney Jimmie Sparrow, III


My background has given me a unique perspective and insight into Florida law and its impact on our communities. As a prior Law Enforcement Officer and Detective, I was sworn to protect and serve the community. I upheld state and federal laws, engaged in criminal and family investigations, intervened in disputes with mediation and conflict resolution, and found empathy and compassion for those I encountered.

As a former Florida Prosecutor, I played a pivotal role in the administration of criminal justice. I used critical thinking and analytical skills to seek the truth, bound within the procedural and substantive laws set forth by the State of Florida.

Attorney Lee Fairchild


As a lifelong resident of the Sunshine State, I have strong ties to the community and strive to build lasting relationships with those I serve in my law practice. I firmly believe in understanding the human experience behind every case. As a former Public Defender, I represented some of the most vulnerable populations for nearly seven years while gaining invaluable real-world trial experience. Many of my criminal defense cases were deeply intertwined with family law issues.

From there, I transitioned to being the lead attorney at a private law firm where I focused on assisting those charged with crimes or having family law issues. As a managing partner at Sparrow & Fairchild, Attorneys at Law, I am honored to extend my services to the community with the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.

Attorney Stacie Corbett


Stacie is an eighth-generation Floridian with deep roots in Marion County — and a genuine passion for serving the community she calls home.

She earned her Bachelor of Arts in History from the University of Florida (Go Gators!), her Master of Arts in Teaching – History from the University of West Alabama, and her Juris Doctor from Mercer University. Before entering the legal profession, Stacie spent a decade as a public school educator, teaching middle and high school students in Florida, Alabama, and North Carolina. That background instilled in her a commitment to clear communication, patience, and meeting people where they are — qualities she brings to every client relationship.

Licensed to practice law since 2017, Stacie returned to Marion County in 2019 and has since built a practice focused on the areas of law that matter most to families and individuals: Family Law, Probate, Guardianship, Estate Planning, and general civil litigation. Since 2020, she has also served as a private Guardian ad Litem on multiple family law cases, advocating for the best interests of children at some of the most critical moments in their lives.

Stacie is a member of the Florida Bar Family Law Section and the Florida Bar Real Property, Probate & Trust Law Section, and is admitted to practice throughout the State of Florida.

When she’s not in the office, you’ll find Stacie on her family farm, cheering on the Gators, or spending time with her family.

Lee Fairchild is what you’d get if it was possible to enter your destination goal into your gps. She is the family law attorney equivalent to best route. She came highly recommended by another attorney who felt she had what it would take to finally have a six years long contempt issue resolved. She exceeded expectations: Zero unanswered communications. Zero work left on her desk for weeks. Zero inaccuracies. Zero disadvantage to opposing, and zero concessions. A flawless execution and job well done. From start to finish Lee was confident, knowledgeable, and impressively effective. Highly recommend.

Jimmie called me back right after my first call-in. He listened objectively, then demonstrated a strong sympathy with my situation and a sensibility about it that carried us through to the end. He was extremely efficient and brought his whole expertise and background to the case which with the help of the Florida justice system has allowed me to move on with my life as best I can without the cloud of a record to complicate things. I have to thank him for working with me on payments and am compelled to tell you it was money extremely well spent. Glad I didn’t risk it otherwise.
