Divorce and Separation 40%

Facing the end of your marriage is tough. You don't have to face it alone. For more than 16 years, I have specialized in family law and have the experience to represent the interests of everyone involved.

40%
Child Custody 20%

In many cases. children are affected the most when when a family splits up. I believe that even though children may live in different households, they should still feel equally loved by both parents and never alienated from a household.

20%
Child Support 20%

Both parents are required by Tennessee law to financially provide for their children until they reach the age of 18. If you are having an issue with child support, you need the help of an experienced attorney handling child support cases.

Uncontested Divorce 15%

Tennessee offers separating couples an option known as an uncontested divorce. This divorce option is often less stressful and emotionally draining than a contested divorce. It also means less time and money are spent on going to and from hearings.

Adoption 5%

Adoption is the process of substituting one or both of parents for another. After the adoption is complete, the new parents are the only parents recognized by the law and have the same rights and responsibilities as any other parents.

Posted by Lenny | July 25, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Do your part and watch her work.

I hired Rachel after being screwed by another attorney for my divorce . I met with Rachel and while we were discussing my case she went to investigating on the spot and just started going through it . I think it's a difficult decision for a lawyer to get involved in the middle of a case and many fact...ors are involved. The number one thing in our conversation was honesty which went both ways. Knowing she can only do her best if I was complete honest with her and Rachel being honest with me. I could tell while talking to her and listening she had the knowledge and experience to deal with my divorce case. As a client of a lawyer trust is vital just got to have it . Rachel went to work sifting through my case and laid out a plan of action. Rachel told me what I needed to do and what she was going to do. Communication throughout the process for me was the biggest factor in building that trust. I was involved in all emails and phone calls and decisions were made off my thoughts and her vast knowledge and experience. It took two years to get it done and she accomplished everything she said and then some which included protecting my kids which was number one for me. In saying that there were many times Rachel told me things or advised that I just didn't want to hear or do but having that trust and faith in her I did it. Guess what she was spot on after the fact. Rachel went above and beyond in my case, my kids and for me personally . Rachel is a fair ,honest, knowledgeable, reasonable and experienced. I will recommend her to anyone who asks.

Exceptional Attorney

I've been a client of Rachel's for the last 4 years. She's always very honest and doesn't give you unrealistic expectations. I was very impressed with her in the court room. She is sharp, precise, thorough and knew her stuff. She made the other attorney look like a simpleton. The judge ruled in my f...avor and I also got awarded my attorney fees to be paid by the defendant. I will continue to have her represent me for whatever comes next. I have recommended her to friends and will continue to do so.

SHE WAS AWESOME

I have nothing by awesome reviews of Ms. Lambert. She was very affordable, always answered by emails, and stood by my side during the hardest time of my life. I was unable to pay her for 2-3 months because of the costly impact of this divorce, but she never quit on me like many lawyers have done fr...iends of mine. She knew the law and although this divorce was a nasty process, she was the light that led me to the end of the tunnel. If you want a true warrior, this is the lawyer you must hire!!!

Happy Family. Thank you, Rachel!

One of my stepmom friends highly recommended Rachel because she had done an excellent job representing my friend's husband. I'm so glad we hired her! Rachel handled an issue with my husband and I in which his EX was falsely accusing us of dependency and neglect, with absolutely no evidence. His EX's ...attorney was crazy for filing the case in juvenile court to start with and it was a constant game for her, with my poor stepdaughter caught in the middle. Rachel didn't put up with the shenanigans from the opposing counsel and was vigorous in defending my husband and me, while looking out for our daughter. Thankfully, we avoided a trial and the added stress that would have put our daughter through. The case was dismissed and we now have our lives and our family back. Rachel was quick to respond to our questions, always knowledgeable, honest, and she was also reasonable with her fees. We couldn't have chosen a better attorney!!!
