Review Marnie Lambert

Excellent!

Posted by

After hiring 7 attorneys over the course of 6 years with no success towards my end goal I hired Marnie. She was the only one who could get the job done, and she completed it in 4 weeks. She is beyond efficient, returns calls very quickly, answers emails the same day and is fair with her billing. She truly is the best!

Foreclosure Action

Posted by

Ms. Lambert was thorough in assessing my needs and quickly engaged to assure that my situation was addressed in a timely and professional manner. Her knowledge and execution were beyond reproach, resulting in an effective resolution of my problem in a very short period of time. I would not hesitate to retain Ms. Lambert should any future needs arise.

Marnie has an impressive ability to identify issues in a case and potential risks. Clients like having her as their attorney since she is very personable.

I endorse this lawyer. She is top notch and aggressive advocate for her clients.

Garry Rhoden, Nursing home abuse and neglect Attorney on Apr 15, 2016
Relationship: Worked together on matter

Marnie is a respected and skilled attorney. We served as counsel together in a securities arbitration matter in Ohio. The out of state lawyer defending the nationally known broker-dealer knew Marne and her skill set, so she added much value for the client.

Hannah Botkin-Doty, Family Attorney on Dec 30, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Marnie is a capable and caring attorney who has the knowledge, skills and real world connections to make a difference for her clients and meet their legal needs. I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer.

Bradford Gucciardo, Securities and investment fraud Attorney on Dec 30, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have known attorney Marnie Lambert throughout our years of representing investors who have been the subject of Wall Street misconduct. While Marnie and I have not yet had a chance to work together, as members of the Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association (PIABA), we frequently share thoughts, strategies and research to help each other obtain the best results for our clients against unscrupulous Wall Street stockbrokers, financial advisors and brokerage firms. Marnie has always been very professional, thoughtful and ready, willing and able to assist on any matter I throw her way. I strongly recommend Marnie as a securities litigation attorney.

Scott Starr, Securities and investment fraud Attorney on Dec 30, 2015
Relationship: Worked together on matter

Marnie has excellent legal skills, is practical and personable. In short, she has all of the qualities of a very good lawyer.
