Lawyer

Kelly was very compassionate on the stand. He utilizes anything and everything in your defense to ensure that you win your case or have the lowest charge possible. Highly recommended him if you want to feel confident about winning your case.

Falsely Accused

Share Your Experience [Content] I was going through a case that I was being falsely accused. At the time I had a court appointed lawyer That had all the evidence that I felt should have got the case dismissed or thrown out. I went to the law office of Kelly G. Lambert and asked Mr. Lambe...rt to review the case and evidence that I had. After Mr. Lambert review my case he insured me if I hire him that this case wouldn't make it to trial. I hired Kelly, he went right to work on the case and less then two weeks the case got thrown out. Kelly G. Lambert is an attorney of his word and he does a excellent Job. I highly recommended.

If u need a miracle call Kelly!!!!

I have been using Kelly for about 7 years now mostly for family but a few various other situations. He pulled of the most amazing miracle for me today! I should have gone to jail. It should have gotten moved up to a felony where I would have done at least 5 years. Not only did Kelly get one of my c...harges dropped completely but it was held as a misdemeanor and no jail time. Just probation- which I need anyway. Thanks so much Kelly and I will definitely be calling u again in the future when needed!

Highly Recommended

I have had the pleasure of Kelly Lambert to represent me in a number or occasions, he has won me custody of three grandchildren and a successful Bankruptcy and he represented well in all cases. I recently had the pleasure of seeing him represent a friends husband who was facing up to 30 years prison... time for possession of illegal substance with the intent to deliver. Mr. Lambert did not settle if it was not in the best interest for his client, he negotiated with the prosecution until a deal was made and his client had two charges dropped and probation was recommended. His client was sentenced to 1year jail time and 4 years probation, which is a big difference from 30 years. I would recommend Mr. Lambert for any legal assistance, he is an attorney who not just is there to take your money, but he puts his all into the case to make sure his client is satisfied.

"He is Worth Every Cent"!!!

Mr. Lambert is the epitome of a great defense attorney who will be the advocate on behalf of his client to ensure that he or she will be treated fairly in a time that it matters the most. I hired Mr. Lambert to defend my husband who was awaiting a one to thirty year sentence with three charges for po...ssession of illegal substance with the intent to deliver. I had been told before that Mr. Lambert is in the business to negotiate probation or the minimum sentence possible. Mr. Lambert's reputation spoke volumes on the day of my husband sentence. Mr. Lambert was able to negotiate with the prosecution and worked out a deal that resulted in dropping two charges and a recommendation of probation. In the end, my husband was sentenced to 330 days in the county jail and four years probation. Even though I would rather have my husband home, I am a practical person who understands that the extent of his crime could of lead him to face anywhere between one to thirty years in prison if we didn't have Mr. Lambert's help. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family. As my husband would say "he is worth every cent". Thank you and God Bless!
