Working out for the Good

I appreciate all the hard work and support provided by Allen. He was very attentive to my needs and diligently worked to ensure the best outcome in my case. It felt good to be heard and have someone work beyond the false accusations so that I can continue to move forward in a positive light—losing a...ll the heaviness that once persisted. I am full with gratitude. It is the hope that we will never have to meet this way again. I will never forget your dedication in defending me. I will definitely recommend you to others.

Lightcap for the win!

Mr. Lightcap, represented me in a legal review to determine intent for a criminal complaint brought by a coworker. We won the case and the judge determined no criminal intent existed. I don’t have any court or legal experience, so I was really thankful to have Mr. Lightcap by my side. He explained... everything, he listened to me, guided me and he also did his homework in terms of procuring all the documents supporting our side. Should I ever need a lawyer again this is the professional I would choose. He was actively engaged, well educated on the law, observant and both a skilled cross-examiner and closer. Bonus that he was genuinely very likable. He also did great follow up with me and my employer. I am thankful to have had such a good lawyer.

Could Not Have Asked for a Better Attorney!

I’m a teacher who currently works in Forsyth County, but formerly worked in DeKalb for 9 years. In April of 2024, I found out that a criminal arrest warrant was taken out on me for an incident that happened at my former school in August of 2023–despite the fact that the incident was investigated by D...eKalb County Schools and resulted in my being found completely innocent of any wrongdoing and allowed to return to my position. When I found out about the warrant and upcoming scheduled hearing, I contacted PAGE (Professional Association of Georgia Educators) and they put me in touch with attorney Allen Lightcap. Mr. Lightcap was professional, thorough, caring, humble, and smart, and checked in with me almost daily in the weeks leading up to my hearing. When the time came for the hearing, I knew Allen was more than well-prepared and I was confident he would present the best possible defense for me. He explained everything that he would be doing in the hearing to help put me more at ease and was always patient with my questions and concerns. We won the case (“warrant denied!”) and I would highly recommend Allen to anyone in need of an attorney. I sincerely hope I will never need Allen’s services in the future, but if I do, I would not hesitate for one minute to have him represent me again in any legal matter necessary. The man is simply outstanding at his job!

Falsely Accused Teacher

I'm a teacher and I was falsely accused of misconduct with a student. I spoke with a detective about the case and answered his questions, and then I consulted several lawyers. Many of them said worrisome things and made me feel like an idiot because I spoke to the detective at all, something I now kn...ow you shouldn't do without consulting a lawyer first. I was feeling terrible and losing hope about my situation, and then I found Allen. He immediately put me at ease. He reiterated the fact that I did nothing wrong with this student and broke down the details of the law, all of which no other lawyer did. Allen never said this case couldn't go to court, but based on the law and the details of the situation, he truly didn't think it would. This reassurance gave me hope and kept me going during this terrible time. He regularly called and spoke to the detective to clarify any misunderstandings and gather new information. He also set up a private polygraph for me to take because the detective had insisted on me taking one. Allen is honest, personable, and incredibly genuine. I truly felt like he cared about me and what I was going through. He called me often just to check in and see how I was doing. He was always there to talk to and I felt better knowing he was fighting for me. I learned a lot from him during this experience and I feel so grateful to have found him. I hope I never need to have an attorney again, but if I do, I'll feel safe knowing that I have Allen on my side.

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."
