I NEED LAW FORM ASSISTANCE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE CONCERNING MY CIVIL RIGHTS AND OTHER MATTERS AS WELL THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS

After suffering an accident at work, I sought legal counsel to determine what rights I had in seeking treatment for my injury. After the more familiar names in injury law refused to help me, I found William J. Lightfoot, who was very willing to help me. Mr. Lightfoot quickly advised me of my options and provided step by step help in securing worker’s compensation to cover all medical expenses related to the accident. I had no idea how to navigate the worker’s compensation process in DC, but William was very knowledgeable. Specifically, he helped me secure physical therapy until I had reached the maximum level of utility. After that, he worked to secure a settlement for my injury that was agreed to by all parties. William always responded to my messages in a timely manner and made me feel like an important client and not just another case. Throughout the process, William was able to achieve the most favorable outcome every step of the way.

Excellent, professional attorneys in the Washington D.C. metro. Mr. Lightfoot took me on as a client 2 years ago and I have been very happy with the results he has brought to the table. Diligent in researching and execution of all paperwork and assistance with finding the best medical professionals to help me begin the process of feeling healthy again. He has very strong courtroom presence and leaps the judicial hurdles with a passion like no other. He WILL work hard and tirelessly for you.I highly recommend Will Lightfoot and his team of sharp individuals to assist you if you’ve been injured on the job. I will always be amazed at the lengths he went to complete my case and am very grateful to have him as my Attorney.Thank you Mr. Lightfoot. You are the best!

I contacted LaRuby May after being served with a court case from the D.C. Superior Court. I was unaware that a tax lien was assessed on one of the lots of land on which my home sits. And the lot was sold at tax sale. I needed to get my property fully redeemed and resolve the law suit from the attorneys suing for their fees. LaRuby May informed me that she no longer practiced real estate law. Instead, she referred me to a Title Company that could help me. And they were very helpful. I appreciate LaRuby may following through and making the referral including name and phone number. The referral was excellent. I received good information and guidance on how to proceed to resolve my tax lien issue and how to follow through to address the legal case. LaRuby May dd not charge me for the referral.

I sought representation after Workmen’s Comp informed me they will no longer pay for future medical for a work related foot injury. I was represented in a former personal injury case by William P. Lightfoot. From the beginning, Mr. Lightfoot instructed me to file documents with DC Employment Services that required filing within one year after the injury. It was my understanding, if the papers weren’t filed workmen’s comp could cancel my claim. For personal injury claims I highly recommend, William J. Lightfoot, he is educated on Workmen’s Comp procedures and will ensure you understand every step. He’s a nice guy!

I have worked with and mentored 100s of attorneys over the past 47 years, including teaching extended NITA courses, ethics programs, CLE substantive seminars, and serving as our law firm’s CEO and Health Law/Professional Liability Practice Group chair. As a member of the practice group, Ms. Kitchel and I tried substantial potential liability cases to favorable verdicts. Ms. Kitchel is easily among the the best-of-the-best and eminently qualified for, and deserving of, your preeminent AV rating.

Working with this lawyer was a great experience for me. This law firm work with my schedule. I had to work overtime and the Lawyer accommodated my personal situation and waited for me to get off work, to do a full intake. I didn’t get off work until 8:30pm and they waited and provided me with a meal. Now this is what i call, meeting clients where they are. I would do business with them any day and thanks again for dinner.

Mr. William J. Lightfoot, Jr. is a young, hardly intelligent, competent and promising attorney who has an impressive understanding of the law and applies it with due diligence and prudence. He did a terrible job in helping me win my case with a monetary award that exceeded my expectations.

My first complimentary discussion was over the phone and for a lengthy period of time. There was no feeling of being hurried off the phone. My first visit was also longer than the usual hour and I did not feel rushed to leave. I was given a generous amount of time to decide whether I wanted a lawyer for my issue. William kept in touch with me, no pressure to hire, kept answering my questions and understanding my worries. The patience he showed and the knowledge he has, is why I went with him.

March 24th 2016 I was hit by a Metro bus I luckily survived but with terrible injuries. William Lightfoot represented me on my case. I honestly have nothing but positive words about my experience with him and his firm. Not only is he a GREAT attorney he is genuinely a good person . I felt like he cared more about my justice, security, and well being then of his own personal gain from a high profile case like mine. He impressed me with his professionalism and whit. Even though I was unlucky enough to be hit by a bus, I was lucky that it brought amazing people like Mr. Lightfoot ,Paulette, and Kelly into my life. I could never thank them enough for all they have done for me.
