The very best attorney anyone could ask for!

A few days ago, I went to Carl Lamb to ask him about a situation that had happened in the state of South Carolina. He was so kind to take the time for a consultation, which cost me absolutely nothing. He told me what to do and shared with me step-by-step printed out what I needed to do to start proce...dures in South Carolina. I’ll never forget the wonderful and amazing way that I felt leaving that office. He is the very best! Thank you, Carl to you and your staff. Kathy.

Great Attorneys that took my case when no one else would.

I went through a lengthy divorce approximately 20 years ago. Upon my retirement, I discovered my ex-husband and his lawyer did not follow the divorce decree concerning retirement distribution. In short, I would have been paying my ex-husband thousands more than what he was entitled to. I approach...ed five lawyers, and was told by each that it was too late to amend a divorce decree that old. Carl Lamb and Matt Fox listened to my situation and explained that there was legal ground to amend. Matt Fox explained the legal grounds to pursue, alternate means to resolve and what to expect in each scenario. The issue is now resolved in my favor. Carl Lamb and Matt Fox know and practice the law. They are approachable and actually listen to the client. They also work in an efficient manner to resolve the issue keeping legal expenses down. My mistake is that I did not consult them earlier.

Amazing service

I needed some legal advice and Carl was quick to call me. He provided great advice and made it easy to understand all of my options and made sure I had all the information I needed.

Carl Lamb is trustworthy and helpful, definitely the guy you want in your corner!

I encountered a legal situation with my business that I wasn't quite sure what to do about. I did a consultation with Carl and he knew exactly what to do. He got working on it right away, and I immediately felt a sense of relief. I'm very grateful for the help he provided, and would absolutely return... to his office for further help, as well as recommend his office to others.

Excellent Professional Experience

Carl spent an hour explaining a situation to me, and directed me in the proper 'next steps.' He could have let me retain him, charged me, and led me down a dead end road. He was honest, gave me some referrals, and was quite informative about the law and my rights. This man gives me a glimmer of hope ...in a very dark system we must abide in.
