Xavier Lightfoot at Ward and Smith provided excellent representation when I faced a complex wrongful termination case. His deep knowledge of labor and employment law, backed by his recognition in Best Lawyers, was evident throughout. He was strategic, prepared, and genuinely cared about the outcome. While communication could occasionally be delayed by a day during very busy periods, his thoroughness never wavered. I felt well-represented by someone who understands both the legal and human sides of employment disputes in Raleigh.
