Philip Anthony Lights

Mr. Lights handled my divorce several years ago and it was pretty quick with no real issues...at least I thought. I hired him again to handle a custody matter I was having with my children's father. He asked for the payment upfront and eventually became unresponsive to me and the opposing lawyer, whi...ch has caused me a lot of stress. After receiving no responses from him to any of my emails or calls, I hired another attorney. My new attorney is excellent and pointed out all of the mistakes he made in my first divorce settlement agreement which does not position me well with my current case relating to custody. I am now aware that for my divorce several years ago, that he counseled me in a way that would make the case end quicker, but not in a way that was in my best interest. The first time I did not catch his incompetence because I was young and trusting, but now that I am more informed, it is very clear to me how grossly incompetent he is. Do not take a chance with this guy if your case is important to you.

Please it is true he is very sloppy and unprofessional. He took $5000 for my divorce 4 years ago. And i went thru hell with his lies and false promises. He gets your money in turn he sits on your divorce. He will suck you dry with his court appearances. He has poor writing skills along with communica...tion. But he is fast to say I need $5000 every case is $5000. I trusted him and he abuse the client and lawyer relationship. Please hire another lawyer do not get caught with his games. You can contact grievance committee and inquire what is in his file. I am beside myself that he is still practicing law BUT there is a higher judge and he will be judge when the time is right. Mr Lights shame on you.

I paid him 2,500.00 1 year ago to finish a divorce a previous lawyer started. It became apparent after his first email sent me that this man suffers from a learning disability,Spelling and grammatical error’s littered the page. Against my better judgment I allowed this simple man to continue with th...is what i believed was a simple task. He has proving me wrong. To make the entire situation even that much worse, he will not respond to my phone calls or email. I am the plaintiff in a divorce, I haven’t spoken to my lawyer in almost a month, opposing counsel has received emails from him saying he has filed papers he has not. The only way I know this is that Im forced to seek help from opposing counsel. Yeah thats right opposing counsel.
