Estate planning attorney, Law firm, Attorney in Durham, NC
Walker Lambe, PLLC is a Durham-based law firm with more than 40 years of history in North Carolina, founded by Edwin Jack Walker, Jr. and William H. Lambe, Jr. Today the firm is led by managing member Kelly J. Mackay and includes a team of roughly a dozen attorneys, among them Shirley M. Diefenbach, Rupe Gill, and Jennifer Dalman, along with associates Matthew Turpin, London Hayes, and Cassidy L. Somers, while the founding partners continue to serve of counsel. The firm concentrates on estate planning and elder law, drafting wills, revocable living trusts, and special needs trusts, and guiding families through probate and trust administration. Its elder law practice covers Medicaid planning, guardianship, long-term care planning, and veterans benefits, while its business law group handles business planning, commercial real estate, and nonprofit formation. The firm also advises clients on tax and retirement planning, powers of attorney, and inheritance matters. Walker Lambe describes its approach as "Big Firm Resources, Small Team Feel," emphasizing individualized planning over one-size-fits-all documents, and positions itself as a set of "Trusted Advisers for Life" meant to support multiple generations of the same family over time. Rather than treating estate planning as a single transaction, the firm centralizes services so that planning, administration, and elder care needs can be handled by attorneys who already know a family's history. Walker Lambe maintains two North Carolina office locations, its main office at 240 Leigh Farm Road, Suite 100 in Durham, and a second office at 200 Butternut Lane, Suite 100 in Clayton, allowing it to serve clients across the central part of the state.
