Compassionate and hardworking

Allen is professional and compassionate. He truly cares for his clients. I was at a loss of what to do when I found myself under an ethics investigation for something that happened over 20 years ago. I had done everything that I thought I was supposed to do, and was advised to do, prior to speaking... with Allen, and it just kept getting worse. Allen took my case and walked me through each step of the process including speaking to my employer in my behalf. First by just calming me down and letting me know that I was not alone in this. Then, he walked me step by step through everything that was going to happen. He was always a text or phone call away and made sure I was always aware of the status of my case. When the initial decision came about 6 months into the case, Allen recommended we appeal it. So, that is what we did. He made sure that I knew this appeal could take up to the years to even be heard. It took right at two years to go through, but my case was fully dismissed with no further action. When everything was all said and done, I could tell he was just as happy as I was! I can never thank him enough!

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.

Educator & Coach

Allen represented me as I was accused of breaking the educator code of ethics. The PSC is difficult to deal with but Allen has experience and has dealt with both sides of the law for the PSC and now defends clients against them. His knowledge of how that system works makes him so valuable. Allen’s h...ard work and dedication lead to victory in my case against the PSC. Allen is a hard working attorney who works his tail off for his clients. He’s not a 9-5 attorney he works around the clock and will come to you and work with your schedule. Great communication keeping you up to date with what is happening with your case. Allen is a down to Earth guy easy to talk to and makes the legal side of things understandable. Thanks Allen for everything.

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."

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."
