Joel Braithwaite, the attorney who represented Matt Lambert in an ongoing dispute over living conditions in Lambert’s apartment, said he was shocked to learn of the shooting.
“This week, when I spoke to him in the last 24 to 48 hours, he was in good spirits. He just had a new start on the horizon, he started a new job on Monday. So I don’t understand how things took the turn that would bring us here today,” he said.
“Ultimately, these issues should have been resolved in court,” Braithwaite said.
He said Lambert was an emergency room doctor who cared about people and was “calm and collected.”
The attorney representing the Logan Circle shooting suspect in a dispute with the homeowners association said he was shocked to learn his client allegedly opened fire at a Vida fitness center and in the surrounding neighborhood.
“Litigation takes a particular toll on you as a plaintiff or defendant,” Braithwaite said.
But he said things were looking up for Lambert and he believed his client was in a “great space.”
