I had to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy and I was referred to Thomas Lightner. He has really helped me go through this uncertain process and I'm very grateful to him. Although filing for bankruptcy was never something I wanted to do, I'm glad I had him to be by my side as I went through it. You will no...
"I have worked with Tom Lightner on several matters. He is highly regarded in our community for debt and bankruptcy. I endorse this lawyer."
"I have known Attorney Lightner for fifteen years and he is very professional, knowledgeable and competent. He is held in high regard by other members of the Lehigh County Bar Association.I recommend him to anyone who is seeking an attorney for a Family Court matter. James Reich, Esq."
"I've known Thom for over 20 years. We started law school together where we started our working relationship. After law school, Thom and I would consult each other on cases we were working in our separate practice until we decided to start partnership. We open our offices in the Lehigh Valley and Berks County. While working with Thom, he continuously amazed me with his ability to negotiate on behalf of his clients and his tenacity in a courtroom. When he takes a case, he has only one thing on his mind and that is his client. He has earned the respect of his clients and opposing attorneys through his dedication and tireless work as an attorney. After our paths went different ways, we continued to be friends and I've watched his practice grow. I have recommended him without reservation to my friends and family when I was unable to assist them. I would not hesitate to hire him myself if I needed an attorney."
"Mr. Lightner is a highly respected and experienced bankruptcy attorney, who diligently and vigorously represents his clients, always putting their interests first."
"Prior to opening my own practice I had the benefit of working for Tom. The experience I received working under Tom was invaluable in preparing me for my own practice. Tom relates with his clients and destroys the stereo type that attorneys are stiff, uptight and callus. He has an unmatched ability to put his clients at ease during their troubling times. I endorse this lawyer."
