Powerlist – Aaron Lamberty – Cordell & Cordell

Listen to this article

Before joining Cordell & Cordell, Aaron Lamberty served as deputy family court commissioner for the Wisconsin Judiciary in Racine County and as a litigation attorney for the state of Wisconsin for Racine County Child Support Services.

Lamberty said it’s been quite an adjustment going into private practice, dealing with opposing counsel and having continued client interactions.

“There is a common belief that Wisconsin tends to favor one person over another; I’m continually trying to dispel that rhetoric. Our laws are intended to be applied equally; there is simply Parent A and Parent B. The goal is to ensure each child is left in the best care possible, whether that is with Parent A, Parent B, or both.” Lamberty said.

Although he initially focused on intellectual property law, Lamberty said it took just one family law course to see how important and fulfilling the work can be.

“Clients are going through something not only complex legally, but also emotionally, it’s a unique challenge to help clients successfully navigate both. Guiding clients to a final resolution is the most satisfying aspect,” he said.
