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

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.

2 cars crashed that caused my mild brain damage. I consulted with a reputable attorney who recommended me to William Lightfoot.
Mr. Lightfoot filed a lawsuit against the US Government.
We went to trial in Federal Court where he won a judgement in my favor for $485,000.
I watched Mr. Lightfoot cross examine a doctor who falsely testified about the nature and the extent of my injuries.
The cross examination proved to the judge that the defense doctor was not credible.
If you think your case may go to trial, I recommend that you retain Mr. Lightfoot as your trial attorney.
Bill was a awesome

Bill Lightfoot and Kelly Fisher represented my husband and I after we lost our 1 year old son Stokely due to daycare negligence. They were very attentive and caring during the entire process. They fully and clearly explained each step. After we suffered such a tremendous loss, it was comforting to know we had a team of professionals looking out for our interests and caring about us as people. We highly recommend Bill and Kelly!

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

My husband and I were very happy to have Mr. Lightfoot represent us. He was meticulously prepared, gave excellent arguments, made us feel as comfortable as one can feel in court and had a good sense of humor as well. He and his staff were very accommodating, answering our calls promptly and over weekends. We recommend him!
