Ms. Lambert is licensed to practice law in the states of Ohio and California and in all United States District Courts in Ohio and California.  She is also a member of various local, state and national trial and bar associations, including the Public Investors' Arbitration Bar Association ("PIABA").  PIABA is a nationwide organization of securities lawyers that represent investors in disputes about the financial services industry and Ms. Lambert has served on the its Board of Directors since 2012.  She most recently held the position of President and she has also been Executive Vice President and Treasurer.

    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.

    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.
