Veterans fit naturally into our law firm’s culture, where teamwork is a critical part of our work environment.”

Lightfoot is proud to have seven veterans as attorneys and staff, representing nearly every branch of the military. Two of the firm founding partners, Warren Lightfoot and Sam Franklin, are veterans.
