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.

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.

Strong Family values

I never dreamed I would ever need a lawyer, but when I did Mr. Lamb was a blessing in disguise. I sent a request online to set up a consultation and very shortly not only had a response but was able to speak to Mr.Lamb. I thought my divorce case with children was going to be cut and dry. When things ...got very messy Carl walked me through every step. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was covered and the best interest of the children was always #1. Even after the case was over Mr. Lamb has continued to be available as needed and patiently answer all my questions. I would reccommend Carl Lamb for anyone needing legal advise or assistance.

High Standards, Values, Respectable, A 'Bull' That Gets It Done!

I obtained MR. LAMB to represent me in a Dissolution of Marriage (w/Child) Case in 2010. My Case involved a really complex situation, a mountain of variables, in which Mr. LAMB took on without hesitation. His Professionalism, Family Values, and Bullnosed-attention-to-detail approach sorted through th...e mess with momentum and never let up til conclusion of my Case. I have much respect for Mr. Lamb's Military and Occupational background, that I knew was the right Attorney for the job. MR. LAMB far exceeded my high expectations, going above and beyond his call, to prove my case. The conclusive results were a lifesaver for my son and I in which I have endless admiration to-no-end for. Justice was served and crushed the mountain of variables brought on by false, spun narrative against me, and manipulation tactics aimed at the system at my expense from the Divorce Petitioner, the present ex-wife, and seen through them. Justice was served. Mr. LAMB has my utmost respect for taking on my case without hesitation and pressing, finishing us out on top!!! Today, My son and I are very grateful that Mr. Lamb intervened and got this contrary, potentially life devastating, catastrophic detrimental, act posing against us stopped in it's tracks! That being said, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CARL PAUL LAMB FOR YOUR LEGAL ASSISTENCE NEEDS! MR. LAMB TAKES OUT THE COMPETITION.
