I needed an experienced lawyer who could help prove my innocence. I was on the verge of loosing everything that I had worked so hard for… my career. I was recommended to Attorney Allan Lightcap through my professional organization.. Alan work tirelessly for the past four years because that’s how lon...g it took before we had our day in court. Attorney Lightcap stood by me every step of the way. He did not falter!! He was patient as he guided me through the long process. He is very knowledgeable and very strategic in his craft. I can say more about Attorney Lightcap. I will end this by saying that we walked out of the courtroom VICTORIOUSLY!! I will only recommend Alan Lightcap to anyone who may need legal representation. I’m so grateful to God for leading me to Attorney Lightcap!!!

Allen helped guide me through a hostile work environment claim . He is extremely knowledgeable and was so helpful with all of the legalities and my rights . I am a member of PAGE and I was going to end my membership but as long as I can use Allen in time of need I will stay a member . He is the one ...you should demand to talk to in the time of legal needs .

He saved my life and my dignity!

After 25 years teaching special education and an untarnished and highly regarded reputation in my county, I was unjustly accused of a crime “against” a child. I was still loving my job and my students, but we had a new SSA and a new Principal who didn’t know me or my merits, and they wouldn’t give m...e any chance to speak to the charges before I was arrested. The first thing I did was call PAGE, and they connected me to Allen Lightcap. Since this was a situation in which I couldn’t have even imagined, I became very depressed. I was not allowed to speak to any of the faculty friends I had made over the years, and I was mortified by the thought of other friends and colleagues seeing my picture on the news and in the papers. I became withdrawn and contemplated suicide. Mr. Lightcap instructed me step-by-step in the process of getting a bond, and he offered sincere reassurance from the beginning. He was very knowledgeable about the laws protecting teachers and he communicated each step of the way in terms I could understand. He was always available for my questions, doubts, insecurities and the plaguing backslides into my dark places. His kind demeanor and gentle explanations brought me back into the light, and eventually I stopped feeling like a victim and was ready to fight for my dignity! COVID put a halt on all court proceedings for over a year, when I could have easily tumbled back into hopelessness. But, I talked to and/or met with Mr. Lightcap regularly and he was always sincerely confident that we would beat this! He was right!!! As we got closer to the final calendar call for a trial date, Mr. Lightcap confidently went straight to the top and expertly negotiated all charges be dropped, and my record was restricted from viewing. Allen Lightcap is a dedicated, knowledgeable and compassionate attorney who made me feel like I was important after the worst tragedy of my life, yet he was strong, dedicated and bullish when it mattered most! I would hire him again in a second. Hopefully, I won’t need to, but I know I have a new friend in Allen Lightcap!

Very Professional and Compassionate

I met Allen Lightcap through PAGE. He helped me with a hearing that came up with my former employer. He was very professional, detail oriented, helpful, and cared about my case. He listened carefully, promptly responding to numerous emails, texts, and phone calls. He took the time to thoroughly resea...rch the matter and came to meet me to explain it. Although my case was not a high-stake, he put in a lot of effort and diligence, and went above and beyond to make sure I receive a favorable outcome. I highly recommend him!!

Fabulous!

Allen worked hard with an ethics case that I had been served with. Thanks to his hard work and dedication he saved my career and I am having a successful year teaching in the classroom.

Government lawyer | Jul 08

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I strongly endorse Allen Lightcap for his outstanding expertise in government law and litigation. We have been opposing counsel in several Georgia professional licensing cases. Allen is unfailingly professional, thoughtful, fair, and analytic about each case. While attentive to, and persuasive on, all factual details and potential legal arguments in a case, he never loses sight of either his clients’ interests or the rights of the accused—he always seeks to do justice that is right for both the individual and for the public good."
