Biography
NOT EVERY LAWYER IS THE SAME! Paul D. Lambert has been concentrating in real estate law, estate planning & probate and advising small businesses for more than twenty eight years. Paul has been in the private practice of law since 1990. He considers it a true privilege to assist first time home buyers, and guides his buyers through the purchase process from the Offer to Purchase to receiving the keys to their new home. He also understands that selling a home, especially for “empty nesters” can be emotional and even heart-wrenching, and Paul will also be there to guide you through the sale of your home from start to finish. Paul has represented hundreds and hundreds of Buyers, Borrowers and Sellers, and he has conducted more than a thousand closings for mortgage lenders for residential and commercial transactions. Whether it is the first home that you have ever purchased or your fiftieth refinance Paul Lambert is the person with the experience and comfortableness that you deserve and will come to expect from the legal professionals that work for you. Planning for “life after we are gone” is not always an easy process, nor is it something that we like to “think about”. Paul has assisted many, many individuals and families with their estate planning needs, and Paul understands that as we grow older our needs change and our objectives do as well. It is never too early to plan for the future “without us”; but sadly, it may sometimes be “too little, too late”. Paul will take the time to discuss your individual circumstances and needs and assist you in creating an estate plan that “works for you”. Paul has advised many small business owners and entrepreneurs with their business formation and reporting needs; and looks forward to assisting many more in the future as the local economy continues to expand and grow.

Legal Answers
- Q. I lost my job in september and no longer could afford my rent. I went to the leasing office and they told me that i
- A: The Western Housing Court has jurisdiction over residential properties in Springfield. If you have a Lease (and from your description you do) and if you are unable to pay that Lease (and it appears that you have not) then the Landlord/Management Company can bring a Summary Process Action against you to evict you for Non-Payment and Breach of Lease. Have they already given you a Notice to Quit? Typically this would be a Fourteen (14) Day Notice. They cannot serve you with the Summary Process Summons and Complaint until the Notice to Quit has been served and expired. Unfortunately, the inability to pay rent will not immediately release you from your obligations under the Lease. Now, from your description, there is a local agency that is able to assist you with payment, BUT ONLY after you have received the Notice to Quit and the Summary Process Action has been commenced. There should be a Lawyer of the Day and/or a Legal Assistance attorney at the Springfield Session of the Housing Court. The Western Housing Court has Housing Specialists who will assist in finding a resolution to your situation. They work for the Court, not for you. You should make sure that you get clear and complete instructions from the agency that will be assisting you with your rent payments. Best of luck.

- Q. I wanted to know if the landlord doesnt allow dogs but you get a letter can they still not allow the dog
- A: Unless you either lived in the property and owned a dog PRIOR to the Landlord purchasing OR have a Certified Service Animal, then the Landlord can deny your having a dog on/in the property. AND, even if you had a dog prior to the Landlord purchasing the property, unless there is a written Lease allowing you to have a dog; then the Landlord can give you a periodic (usually 30 day) notice that there will no longer be dogs allowed in the property. It's very sad; but unfortunately true. If you have a disability and a properly vetted/trained service dog; then you should consult with an attorney to see about protecting your rights.
