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.

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.

Replied last February 24, 2015

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.

No problems whatsoever & GREAT outcome

I hired Rachel to represent me in a highly contested divorce case. My now ex-wife and her attorney were playing so many games trying to run up my bill, but Rachel put a stop to it, and was very reasonable to work with and took my finances into consideration during the representation. I work strange... hours and emailed Rachel sometimes late at night and early morning and she always responded to my emails promptly. I never had a problem with communicating with her. This was the best attorney for me during my divorce and I would recommend her to anyone.

Extremely Satisfied

After years of searching for a competent family attorney to handle our custody matter whose primary objective wasn't finding creative ways to run up additional unnecessary billable hours, we finally found Mrs. Lambert. We hired her to handle our custody dispute & child support modification, and coul...dn't have been happier with the outcome, especially after having been told time after time by others that the Court system strongly favors mothers over fathers in child custody cases. She made us feel like we were her only clients and fought hard for our cause. We have referred her to several friends and family, all of which have been very happy with her services. It was our adversary, though, who paid Mrs. Lambert the ultimate compliment by referring Mrs. Lambert to a close friend during the middle of our custody dispute.

objective view

Mr. Scott Tichenor is obviously upset because he refused to pay his bill for the services rendered by Mrs. Lambert... My experience with her was was that she is very prompt and very knowledged with the law.. She Handled my childsupport case very well and shows great professionalisim in her job. I hav...e recommended her to several of my friends and will continue to do so. I will NEVER use another attorney as long as Mrs. Lambert is praticing... So i will end by saying that you should have paid your bill Mr. Tichenor and you would'nt be being sued and you would have had no reason to slander Mrs. Lambert..
