Cory Lambert
Family Law Senior Associate Attorney | Divorce, Child Custody, Child Support & Family Law Matters in the Triangle area
When your family, finances, and future are on the line, you deserve more than legal advice—you deserve an advocate who will listen, communicate honestly, and stand by your side every step of the way.
Growing up in a family of attorneys, Cory Lambert saw firsthand the impact a lawyer can have during some of the most important moments in a person’s life. His father has practiced family law in North Carolina for many years, and those early experiences taught him something that still guides his work today: every case involves real people, real families, and real consequences.
That understanding led Cory to pursue a career in family law.
Today, Cory helps clients throughout North Carolina navigate divorce, child custody disputes, child support matters, alimony claims, equitable distribution, domestic violence issues, and other family law challenges. He understands that legal problems rarely exist in a vacuum. Behind every case is a person facing uncertainty, stress, and difficult decisions about their future.
His goal is simple: help clients regain control, make informed decisions, and move forward with confidence.
A Calm Voice During Difficult Times
Family law cases are often some of the most emotional experiences a person will ever face. Whether someone is going through a divorce, fighting for time with their children, or trying to protect their financial future, the process can feel overwhelming.
Cory believes one of the most valuable things an attorney can provide is clarity.
He works hard to ensure clients understand their options, know what to expect, and have a clear strategy moving forward. Rather than telling clients what they want to hear, he focuses on providing honest advice, realistic expectations, and practical solutions designed to help them achieve the best possible outcome.
His approach is built on three core principles:
- Clear and consistent communication
- Thorough preparation and strategic planning
- Strong advocacy tailored to each client’s unique circumstances
No two families are alike, and no two family law cases are alike. Cory takes the time to understand each client’s goals and develop a strategy that fits their specific situation.
Building a Stronger Future
One of the things Cory enjoys most about family law is helping clients close a difficult chapter and begin a new one.
Whether he is helping a parent protect their relationship with a child, guiding a client through a divorce, or assisting someone in securing financial stability after separation, he remains focused on what matters most: helping clients build a better future for themselves and their families.
Success is not measured only by court outcomes. To Cory, success means a client feels informed, supported, heard, and positioned for the next chapter of life.
Why Gantt Family Law
Cory joined Gantt Family Law because of the firm’s mission to help people navigate difficult life transitions with confidence and strength.
The concept of being a “Divorce Fortress” for clients resonated deeply with him. At Gantt Family Law, clients are never facing their challenges alone. Attorneys collaborate, share strategies, and work together to provide thoughtful and effective representation.
When clients hire Gantt Family Law, they gain the support of an entire team committed to protecting their interests and helping them move forward.
As Cory often tells clients, regardless of which attorney is primarily assigned to your case, everyone at the firm has your back.
Outside the Office
A lifelong North Carolinian, Cory grew up in Greenville and has lived throughout the state. He enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, taking his boat out on Jordan Lake, playing golf, exploring Raleigh’s restaurant scene, and spending time with his Golden Retriever.
He is also a passionate Carolina Hurricanes fan and enjoys a healthy dose of competition—whether that’s on the golf course, around a card table, or advocating for his clients.
One piece of advice he carries with him every day is:
“Large challenges become much more manageable when you approach them one step at a time.”
That mindset serves his clients well during difficult family law matters, helping them focus on the next right step instead of becoming overwhelmed by the entire journey.
