Island lawyer you can count on.

Lighthill Law helped me and my fiance though a tuff winter with a landlord who didn't want to uphold their end of the lease or abide by state law. He helped advise us insuring we were always within the law and help clarify the situation without needing to go to court. He helped tremendously, and did...n't go out of his way to nickle and dime or push for a court battle to recoup legal fees. A true island assest. The one time he was running behind he let us know and always seemed to have the best outcome in mind.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
