Posted by anonymous | June 16, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

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.

Incredibly knowledgeable and fair

Mr. Lamb took my consultation outside of business hours, which I think speaks volumes to his client commitment. He was incredibly knowledgeable of the unique matters I was experiencing with parenting time, listened intently to my story and asked pointed questions to get to the heart of the matter and... in the end offered multiple practical solutions to help me resolve the issues. Outstanding first impressions, and while dealing with these types of cases is not exactly a day at the park, I am looking forward to working with Mr. Lamb on my case.

Helped my college aged son with misdemeanor charge

Mr. Lamb spoke to me immediately when I called his office to discuss a misdemeanor situation my son had gotten himself into while attending IU. Mr. Lamb gave walked me through the scenarios he thought my son might be facing. He worked to obtain a pre-trial diversion agreement for my son and obtained... the very best outcome possible for my son's situation. He was responsive, thorough and absolutely looking to make the very best of an unfortunate situation. I would highly recommend him for any legal issues that college students might find themselves facing.

Custody

Carl Lamb took time out of his busy day, twice, to council me on one of the most important issues of my life, custody of my children. He was straight to the point and gave me hope. I would recommend him to anyone.

Posted by Tracy | April 10, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Guardianship

Trustworthy and Determined

I have been represented by Carl Lamb for several cases. He represented my husband and myself in a guardianship case and we won, allowing us to foster 4 children who were in an abusive foster home. He represented my husband in a breach of contract case at a state level and is now representing us at ...a federal level. He has been steadfast with our representation and I would highly recommend his services to anyone.
