Attentive and knowledgeable legal guidance
Robert J. Lightfoot demonstrated exceptional expertise in health care law during my case, which involved complex regulations. His deep understanding of both elder law and health care law made navigating my situation far less daunting. While his advice was always clear and well-reasoned, I noticed his response time was occasionally slower than expected, particularly during busier periods. Nevertheless, his detailed explanations and strategic approach were invaluable, and I’m grateful for his recognized expertise—well-deserved, as noted by Best Lawyers. A top-tier attorney for health care and elder law matters.
Expert guidance through health care law complexities
I cannot recommend Robert J. Lightfoot highly enough. His expertise in health care law was precisely what we needed during a complex regulatory compliance matter involving our senior care facility. Over the course of 30 years, he's clearly developed an exceptional understanding of both the legal and practical aspects of elder and health care law—qualities that became immediately evident in his approach. The recognition he's received, including multiple Lawyer of the Year awards, is absolutely well-deserved. What truly set him apart was his ability to translate dense legal concepts into actionable strategies while maintaining a compassionate, client-centered focus. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, his professionalism and deep knowledge of evolving health care regulations gave us confidence in every step of the process. The outcome was not only legally sound but also practically beneficial for our operations. Working with someone of this caliber made all the difference.
Knowledgeable but communication gaps
Attorney Lightfoot is undoubtedly an experienced professional, particularly in health care and elder law, as his awards and recognitions clearly demonstrate. However, my experience working with him was somewhat mixed. He handled the complex estate planning for my elderly parents with precision and provided sound legal advice that aligned well with their needs. The final documents were thorough, and his understanding of the nuances in Wisconsin elder law was evident. That said, communication was not his strongest suit. Emails and phone calls often took longer than expected to be returned, and there were moments when follow-ups felt like pulling teeth. While he clearly knows his craft, I wish the responsiveness had matched the quality of his legal work. For those who can afford to wait and need expertise in elder or health care law, he’s a solid choice, but don’t expect lightning-fast communication.
Experienced but Room to Improve
I worked with Robert J. Lightfoot on a complex elder law case, and his depth of knowledge was evident throughout the process. With 30 years of experience and multiple 'Lawyer of the Year' recognitions in Health Care Law, I expected a seamless experience. While Robert's legal acumen was impressive—particularly in navigating Medicaid planning and long-term care issues—his communication could be more proactive. I often had to follow up to get updates, and initially, the timeline felt longer than anticipated. The end result was positive, and I’m grateful for his expertise, but I would have appreciated clearer expectations upfront about timelines and communication frequency. That said, his guidance on health care directives was thorough and tailored to my family’s needs. It’s clear why he’s highly regarded, but for a smoother client experience, I’d suggest improving responsiveness and clarity on case timelines.

Mr. Lightfoot's deep understanding of both Elder Law and Health Care Law allowed him to address our needs comprehensively. He not only resolved a critical HIPAA compliance issue but also provided strategic advice that will protect our organization for years to come. What truly set him apart was his ability to explain complex legal concepts in straightforward terms, making the process less intimidating. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing top-tier legal representation in these specialized areas.
