My Legal Philosophy:
I am first and foremost a fighter. You are always weakest in a criminal case on the first day you are arrested, when the only side of the story being told is what the police have to say, and they almost always represent their case to be stronger than it really is. Taking the path of least resistance and negotiating at this point is almost always a mistake. Putting in the extra effort to do a thorough investigation and view all of the evidence the police have, and find the holes in their case, has resulted in superior outcomes for my firm. Fight first, negotiate later, if necessary.

Amazing Guy!
Amazing Guy .. and I deal with attorneys all day long. He took on a case for me, and because he wasn't sure he could help, he worked the case, and kept me informed, without asking for a single penny up front. His due diligence paid off. He resolved my case in under 30 days - and of course got paid. ...

Trustworthy and Dependable
Mr. Lambert was always on my side and was very reassuring. I had never been in trouble before and this was my first arrest.
