Mike Lambo was in fact a Bellevue police officer. He served in that capacity with distinction both in the patrol section, detectives narcotics and other important assignments. He was one of the best officers on the department during the 1970's. He left to attend law school and was quickly hired by the King County Prosecutors Office as a trial deputy. He supervised all of the district court prosecutors and ended up on a felony trial team where he prosecuted serious felonies of all kinds. He also spent time in special units of the prosecutors office assigned there for his exceptional trial skills and tenacious ability to ferret out the truth and put bad guys in jail. Being a former police offier and detective was a deadly combination for any defendant willing to press their luck making the fatal mistake of going to trial against Mike Lambo.
I know, I worked with him as a police officer and prosecutor and routinely see him in court in action. His skills are such that he is often in demand as a pro tem judge throughout King County.
When it comes to having a good lawyer, you get what you pay for. With over twenty years of being a trial lawyer under his belt and garnering the respect of the legal community including prosecutors and judges, those folks who do hire him have a distinct advantage over lesser experienced lawyers.
There are very few lawyers out there with the unique qualifications and background that Mr. Lambo has acquired. When it comes to protecting your rights and freedom, money should be the least of your concerns.
I write this as an acquaintance of Mr. Lambo based on personal experience and knowledge.
