Dedicated to justice for all
Lightfoot is committed to pro bono work, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but also because pro bono matters allow our younger attorneys to gain valuable experience with clients and in the courtroom. Through the provision of pro bono legal services, we aim to support the important goal of equal access to justice for all citizens — and we’re not afraid to roll up our sleeves.
From our most senior partner to our newest associate, our attorneys donate their time and talent to provide legal assistance to those in need. Whether in small claims court or death penalty appeals, our lawyers have handled a wide variety of pro bono matters and are often called upon by local judges to take over such cases on the eve of trial.
Our pro bono work includes:
Committed to our communities
We love where we live, and we’re dedicated to making our communities a better place for everyone. Being an engaged and supportive community member is an integral part of “the Lightfoot Way,” from Birmingham to Houston.
Our firm regularly supports and volunteers for charities and organizations, such as:
Lightfoot also hosts an annual women’s networking event for female business leaders across the Birmingham community. Previous gatherings have focused on recognizing women leaders from Birmingham’s culinary scene and promoting the revitalization of the city’s urban core.
The Birmingham Business Journal has also recognized us as a “Veteran-Friendly Employer,” with nearly a dozen veteran employees — from attorneys to staff members — representing nearly every branch of the armed forces.
We also believe in serving our communities when they need it most. That’s why our Houston office dedicated time to serve those recovering in the wake of Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Our firm regularly participates in annual school supplies drives for Birmingham City Schools, and our lawyers have volunteered with school literacy events like Birmingham Reads Day.
