Law Office of Catherine R. Lighty

Experience – Advocate - Compassionate – Supportive – Fighters - HopennMy Story: During my search for a divorce attorney, it became apparent that my situation was going to be difficult. Conversations with one attorney left me without hope.nnI then sought the advice from four friends, with varied legal experience, all who recommended Cathy, stating that she’s an excellent attorney with much experience who would fight for me. During my first visit with Cathy, she too indicated the circumstances were indeed difficult, but at the same time, I could almost see in her mind that she was trying to figure out a way to make it work. She mentioned a couple strategies and it was then, I felt hope. I knew that Cathy was to be my advocate; she would fight for me.nnDuring information gathering and subsequent communications with opposing counsel, I primarily worked with Cathy’s paralegal, Amber, who was incredibly encouraging, helpful, wise and supportive.nYes, there were tough times, nonetheless, I stuck to the trust I had in these two women with over 60 years of legal experience between them.nnWisely, Cathy suggested mediation because of my situation. She was well prepared for mediation and articulately explained the options to me throughout the process. Finally, we looked at each other and smiled. We knew we had accomplished the goals we had sought. Time for a high five!

Great team, felt like they were as dedicated to the case as I was and ended with the judge ruling in our favor. I would definately use them again if needed.

My experience with Lighty Law Office was not a good one. I had several meetings with one of the members who was helping to handle my case and on more than one occasion I was confused with another client who had the same name as mine which concerned me that they were unorganized. My main concern was important information I had offered going unheard until I brought it up multiple times. After adding it to my case they failed to send it to the judge until after it was due. The judge wouldn't use the information for that reason.

The parking can be tricky and they are on the spendy side. However the staff have been very compassionate and understanding so far.

Spent more time telling me why they couldnt help me than listening to what my problem was.
