Professional and straight forward
My Lawyer knew his stuff. He let me know all my options and saved me a lot of heartache and pain by getting me out of a tough situation due to my lack of knowledge of what was actually available to me by law.

Beyond Best of the best!!!
I consulted with another 4 letter firm in Grand rapids for a divorce attorney before Mr. Lambert's office. The other firm was a sad excuse for representation, despite constant advertising on the radio. I was recommended by a friend to Mr. Lambert's office as he had done an excellent job representin...

Hire at Your Own Risk
I hired Kelly to represent me in a custody/child support case. He showed up late for every proceeding when he did show up. On two occasions he didn't show up at all. He refused to keep me updated about my case. Each time I called to find out the status of my pending case, he told his staff person...
This firm represented the Reviewer in a custody dispute in 2011. We were her third or fourth attorney that she hired and/or consulted with. We won her case and she kept custody. After we were no longer her attorney, she lost custody after disregarding our advice. We advised her that she was facing parental kidnapping charges if she continued her actions. She did, and charges were brought. Reviewer filed more than one grievance with the State Bar of Michigan against her prior attorney(s) and the Judge in her case. All of the grievances she filed were thrown out. Reviewer herself is a licensed Michigan and Illinois attorney and is familiar with how this process works. This firm terminated Reviewer as a client after she submitted frivolous official documents to the court under this firm's name without prior knowledge or consent of this office. She attempted to commit fraud by utilizing this firms' name and hiding behind it. Fortunately, the Judge, knowing the Reviewer and knowing the quality of representation that this firm provides its clients detected the fraud and contacted this office to discuss the same. This is the meeting the Reviewer refers to that she was not permitted to attend by mandate of the Judge. Now, two years after completion of her case Reviewer is again demanding a copy of her file which was previously provided to her in fall 2011, and she submits slanderous reviews filled with outright lies. Normally, we do not bother responding to reviews; however, when the reviews are blatantly false, we have no choice but to respond. Further, everything herein is a matter of public record. If you have any further concerns or questions regarding this case, you may acquire the complete public legal file at the Kent County Circuit Court located at 180 Ottawa NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49503. This file contains complete copies of all the public pleadings filed in this case together with our request to withdraw as Reviewer's attorney and the Order granting the same for the reasons set forth above. Please contact us if you would like the corresponding case number to review the court file.

Seemed very knowledgeable and nice at first but, failed to keep me informed about court proceedings. Showed up minutes before court proceedings sometimes late. Charged me a flat rate and allowed me to make a payment arrangement so I guess I got what I paid for. Wouldn't recommend if your case is comp...
