also known as Allen Lightcap
Allen Lightcap focuses his practice on preparing for and taking cases to trial. As Randy Mayer and Mark Harper have taught him over the years, the best way to practice law is to know your case better than anyone else. Allen prepares every case as if he will be presenting it to a judge or jury, which adds tremendous value whether in settlement negotiations or at trial.
Prior to joining Mayer & Harper, Allen served as Assistant Attorney General under Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens. In that capacity, he represented the Professional Standards Commission against numerous teachers implicated in the Atlanta Public Schools CRCT cheating scandal. He also defended a class action lawsuit filed against Governor Nathan Deal and the Public Defender Standards Council, asserting widespread claims of ineffective assistance of counsel in a rural Georgia judicial circuit. He represented the Office of Bar Admissions and Board to Determine Fitness of Bar Applicants and successfully represented numerous superior court judges who were sued in their judicial capacities.

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...

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.
"I have had the privilege of working with Allen over the past decade. When I need an attorney to assist me with a client's matter or handle a representation I am unable to, I always check to see if Allen is available. He is an attorney who understands and appreciates that every representation is a balance of the law, the facts, and the client's goals. He always exhaustively researches the law, investigates the facts, and counsels his clients. I trust him to take care of any of my clients, friends, and family who are in need."
"Allen Lightcap is one of the smartest, wisest, and most personable people you will ever meet. On top of that, he’s an exceptional lawyer. Clients love him; competitors know he means business. Allen has a near encyclopedic knowledge of many areas of the law. More importantly, he’s great at dealing with people. Allen will give everything he's got to get the best possible resolution of your case. If you need legal representation, you need to contact Allen without delay."
"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."
