About Allen
Biography
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.

Awesome attorney for educators!
Allen helped settle a case with me as an educator. He was in constant contact with me on the status of my case and followed through until the job was complete! He also took the time afterwards to check in and make sure everything was going smoothly. I highly recommend him for any attorney needs!

Not happy
If you want a lawyer who is not afraid to fight the hard fight then you don’t want Mr. Lightcap. I was very displeased with the representation provided by him. I never felt like my voice was heard let alone conveyed to the other side. In the long run I came out with nothing other than an excus...
Allen Lightcap
Replied last May 19, 2022I always put my clients first and fight for them as hard as I can. However, sometimes the best legal advice is that the law does not provide a remedy for their particular situation. I do not tell clients what they want to hear; I tell them what they need to hear. I do not pursue legal avenues that have little or no chance of success. I hope you understand that I always do my best for you and every one of my clients.
Allen Inman Pointer Lightcap's Lawyer Endorsements
"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."
