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.

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.

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.

Review of how well she handled my case.

Rachel left me without a lawyer when I needed assistance and was trying to get my case settled, then lied to another attorney about why she dropped the case. She did not include a property settlement in the divorce or reimbursement for child support costs, leaving me without a lawyer to handle the mo...st important details of the case. The lawyer who eventually handled the property settlement said she did not handle this case appropriately.

This review is not true. First, in all divorces, you MUST have a property settlement, so it is not something that can be left out. Second, in all parenting plans, child support is a required provision that cannot be left out. These events described by the "anonymous client" are not plausible. Finally, the only cases where I have been forced to withdraw is when a client runs up a high attorney bill and refuses to make any payments for over 6 months. Perhaps, maybe this "anonymous" person is upset because my collection attorney is making her pay a bill.

I recommend Attorney Rachel Lambert!

I would recommend Mrs. Lambert to anyone needing an attorney. She went above and beyond with my case and instead of having my daughter every 5 days like before, thanks to Rachel, I now get her every other week. She kept me informed with everything that was going on and she told me not to worry about ...anything because she was going to handle it!

Best Attorney At Law Who Really Cares About Her Clients

Miss Lambert is a great and caring attorney. She really cares about her client's well being. She's a fighter when it comes to protecting her clients. It also helps that she is a very smart lady who knows what she is doing. Rachel is very trustworthy. I would recommend her services to anyone. Miss Lam...bert made sure that I knew the facts of my case, and what information we needed to make sure we were successful. Miss Lambert not only showed that she cared about me, but also my two little girls. This divorce case was and is very hard on me, but knowing that Rachel was on my case made me feel that I had support every step of the way. In conclusion, attorney Rachel Lambert is the best attorney that ever represented me. She helped me keep my rights as a father to my daughters.

Do not recommend

I hired Rachel to modify my custody and visitation. I have to second the other review about Rachel being unreachable. She never responded to my emails or calls. On the day we went to court, I had not spoken with her in weeks and I was worried she wouldn't even show up. She did eventually show up ...15 minutes late and I had to rush through with her what we were there to do since she had not answered my calls or emails prior to the court date. Another issue I had is that she didn't seem to be up to date on newer laws. I was doing all the work for her. Rachel was very unprofessional at times. I caught her talking negatively about me to my adversary's lawyer. Due to this, I couldn't trust her to handle my case properly. After my case was resolved, I had another issue which I called Rachel for. She said I had no grounds to file anything to resolve the issue. I reminded her what the law says and that I do have grounds, and she very rudely yelled at me that she could not do anything about it. Needless to say, I called another lawyer who was able to resolve the issue for me without any hassle at all.

I was allegedly so bad the first time, but I was allegedly contacted again even though I was so bad originally. This review is fiction.
