Practice Areas

Family 80%

I, like the other attorneys of Sherr Puttmann Akins Lamb P.C., practice almost exclusively in the area of family law. I handle all types of family law issues, including divorce, separation, child custody, restraining orders, support, dependency & neglect, and contempt. I also handle criminal issues as they relate to domestic and family issues. I attempt to resolve matters amicably, outside of the courtroom, prior to resorting to litigation.

Highly Capable and Smart

David Lamb is an excellent lawyer. His passion and determination are evident. He is thoughtful organized and knows the law. He will fight for children to be safe and placed properly. He will work late to get it done! Bottom line he wont let you down.

Posted by Ryan | June 09, 2015 | Child Custody

Could not recommend more highly!

David is highly knowledgeable and extremely effective. He prepared extensively for my case, not trying to "wing it," and the difference was clear. He has a long history as a prosecutor so he knows seemingly judge, mediator, arbitrator and investigator in Denver. If parenting time is at stake, there i...s not a better attorney to have by your side than David.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"David is an amazing professional and a strong advocate for his clients. In a time when fewer and fewer lawyers have any face to face contact with opposing counsel, David communicated with me frequently, openly, and professionally. We may have been opposing counsel, but David's professionalism helped both of our clients reach a positive and satisfying outcome. David sets an example to all lawyers of how to advocate for your client while also maintaining friendly professionalism towards your colleagues in the legal community. I look forward to working with him again in the future."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
