This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A Waste of Time and Money

Ms. Lapham did nothing to defend my loved one, and in fact, she worked with the prosecution to help bury him even though one of the supposed victims in the case made several statements that my husband wasn't guilty. Ms. Lapham used medical excuses on multiple occasions to get out of doing her job and... held up the trial process more than a year and a half. I'm honestly not sure how she passed the bar. I'm disgusted that she continues to practice law, and I will pray that others don't fall prey to her malfeasance.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
