Bill Lightfoot and Kelly Fisher represented my husband and I after we lost our 1 year old son Stokely due to daycare negligence. They were very attentive and caring during the entire process. They fully and clearly explained each step. After we suffered such a tremendous loss, it was comforting to know we had a team of professionals looking out for our interests and caring about us as people. We highly recommend Bill and Kelly!
Terrible receptionist, I asked to speak with their marketing person or a person in charge regarding a business inquiry. The receptionist proceeded to hangup the phone saying "we're not interested." Definitely not doing business with them for sure! As a respectable law firm as you claim to be, you should live up to your standards with every person you encounter. This is unacceptable.
Very professional team ,Roger Johnson and team truly cares about his clients
Working with Mr. Lightfoot at Koonz McKenney was one of the best decisions we have ever made. They helped my grandson come out of his situation on top even though nothing can bring back the time we lost in the hospital. We would recommend Bill Lightfoot at Koonz McKenney at anytime and to this day we are still friends but more like family.
I worked as Kelly Fisher's law clerk during my second and third year of law school. Working for Kelly taught me a wide range of skills - from drafting dispositive motions to observing depositions, it was an invaluable learning experience. Additionally, Siobhan Burrell could not have been easier to work with. Rain or shine, Siobhan always had a smile on her face and was happy to speak with and assist clients. Attorneys at this firm truly care about their clients and employees which is very refreshing to see in this field of work!
My case was tremendously different , but this firm hands down , did all the proper procedures and was successful on my case !!

I highly recommend David Schloss, my attorney with the law firm Koonz, McKenney, Johnson, DePaolis & Lightfoot. In short, he did an amazing job pursuing restitution for many people impacted by the Washington Navy Yard shooting. It was a difficult case. Many lives were lost, many injured, by a gunman. All needed help to recover from this horrible tragedy. David never flagged in his quest. It took five years, but he never stopped caring and working on our behalf.
David did an excellent job keeping me informed throughout the process always kind, respectful, and clear. He always valued my time and perspective. He never tired of explaining procedures and legal nuances in a way I could understand. He was always discrete, honest, and squarely on my side. He always had my best interests at heart. David Schloss gives lawyers a good name!
I would also like to note the contributions of Kasey Murray and Suzy Kelley. Ms. Murray was beyond patient stepping me through the retelling of my experience. In addition to being highly competent and clear about the law, she was always kind. Ms. Kelley kept all the details straight and was so helpful keeping me on track. Small acts of consideration are always appreciated when a person is under great stress.
I was involved in a car accident with an uninsured motorist where he was at fault. I suffered several bodily injuries as a result of the accident. My daughter who is an excellent attorney suggested that I would retain Paulette Chapman simply because she is the best in the field and highly respected by her colleagues who did similar work. I contacted Paulette Chapman by phone and explained my situation. At the end of the conversation I was confident that I was in good hands and that I will be cared for like a person who has been wronged. Paulet and her team made me feel that my case was important to them and that they had my back and would fight for me. Paulette and her team where accessible at various steps of the process especially Mary Jobe, Paulette s assistant who would respond to my emails the same day. Right from the start Paulette clearly communicated with me the parameters with in which we would be working my case. She made issues understandable and explained the process in terms I could understand. As she collected information Paulette would go through a fact checking session with me to see if she had a good understanding of my case. I had many opportunities to participate in building my case. I am a scientist myself and was amazed by the amount of research she and her team has conducted to become extremely familiar with my clinical situation in order to counteract the defendant s possible arguments. Paulette payed special attention to details and this made connecting the dots possible for building a strong robust case for me. She knew the defendant s lawyer and his abilities in performing due diligence for his client. She was accurate in her assessments and performed exceptionally well at the negotiating table. She also knew the mediator s ability in working with us and how far she could leverage him to our benefit for a fair settlement. I was very happy with the settlement and I believe she deserved every penny she gained from winning my case. I would highly recommend Paulette Chapman as an outstandingly talented, well-seasoned lawyer who is extremely knowledgeable in her field of practice.
I had the best experience meeting with Mr. William Lightfoot. He didn t seem like he was after the money at all; but instead like he truly cared about helping me. I appreciate him and his team for there support, thank you.
Mr William lightfoot I have never seen a lawyer who is genuinely concerned with their client ,I really was with no help and had no way to get my case taken care of but Mr William lightfoot did what no other attorney would do and immediately took care of my case like it was himself that gotten injured this is true this is the best lawyers in the DMV metropolitan area mr William lightfoot will be the next great lawyer in history thank you sir.........
Koonz ,Mckenney is the best lawyer company u can ask for they are the best at what they do. They will fight for you and work for u.
William Lightfoot was an excellent attorney for my work miscompt case . I cant thank him enough for what he has done for me
The outstanding legal counsel of William Lightfoot and Kelly Fisher, with assistance from Siobhan Burrell, resulted in a settlement far beyond my expectations for injurires suffered as a passenger in a taxi cab accident. Their caring professionalism demonstrated empathy for the lasting impact of that experience, and they applied tenacious representation to secure an appropriate level of compensation.
Hands down one of my favorite law firms in DC to work with. They are fantastic people that truly care about their clients!
Working with Roger Johnson has been a pleasant and professional experience. His team went above and beyond to make sure I was fairly and expertly represented in my personal injury case. I highly recommend this firm!
I can't thank Paulette Chapman enough for everything her team has done for me at the law firm. I was involved in a major accident at work and she held my hand all the way from beginning to the end. All I had to worry about was getting myself better. She and her assistant Mary was always available and returned all of my calls immediately, along with my emails. I would recommend them to anyone. I can't thank them enough. Thank you Paulette and Mary for everything.
I have had the pleasure of working with them and I know that they will work hard to get you what you want and need to get for your pain and suffering. I have sent other people to these guys who were very happy with the outcome.
First and foremost I'd like to say my experience with this top flight law firm has been nothing but wonderful. This company is friendly, trustworthy, and very direct and to the point. My lawyer Kasey Murray has been there for me and has had my back since the day she was assigned my case. I'm confident when she's on the case. I was injured on the job and as tough as the company has tried to be, she has prevented any lapse of pay and treatment during my during my absence from work. She's quick to respond when there's an issue and has handled my case with extreme satisfaction. If you need a lawyer or if you need a law firm don't hesitate to contact them.
I highly recommend the law firm Koonz, McKenney, Johnson, DePaolis & Lightfoot, L.L.P. Mr. Peter De Paolis and his team represented me after being rear-ended in an automobile accident and sustaining multiple injuries. Every day I count my blessings for the legal representation I received from such an honorable, and highly competent team. Mr. DePaolis and his staff are consistently professional, and always prompt and proactive regarding communication.
Mr. DePaolis personally possesses great integrity, superior intelligence, and a remarkable competency/understanding of the law. He has tremendous interpersonal skills and accurately assesses people. This skillset presents a considerable advantage when dealing with adversaries.
You will not be disappointed in your choice for legal representation with this firm. You will not find a more competent, highly qualified attorney in this region.
Walked me through the entire process with skill and empathy. I was so grateful for them.
I received the most unprofessional service I have ever received in my life. I will NEVER use this firm for anything, again. Not only did the attorney handling my case, not correspond with me in a regular manner involving my case but when he did it do in the most egregious manner possible and I have the emails to prove it. After nearly six months of little to no communication, he got mad because I started asking him questions about the status of my case and waited nearly two weeks after our conversation and decided to contact me via phone on the day of my doctors appointment and tell me the firm was dropping my case, to then wait nearly two weeks to surrender me anything in writing, only after I again had to reach out to him. For nearly six months, I had to be my own attorney despite, having one on retainer. If an attorney by the name of Floyd gets your claim, request another attorney. He is the most unprofessional attorney I have ever seen.
Let's just say my life would have been forever ruined without me looking for not only a better lawyer but a lawyer who felt like a guardian angel. Kasey Murray was the life savior when my workers comp was destroying my life cut out all my money and left me with nothing to my name and a injury that was going to leave me disabled forever. She stood to the plate where a different firm failed and hit home runs like they were nothing. She bargained, she fought, she outsmarted, she played ten steps ahead of everyone else, she treated me like a human being, not a money sign. She was just wonderful and thoughtful and so attentive to every desire and need I had to make sure my life was fixed, she fought for what I deserved as a human being, she still to this day fights till I am completely healed and safeguarded. If I could suggest any firm it would be Koon, Mckenny, Johnson, Depaolis and Lightfoot...but honestly ask for Kasey Murray and that woman will be your shining light in the darkest tunnel!
Strongly suggest utilizing your own resources or another firm. This firm is lazy when it comes to leg work you can do yourself and eliminate unnecessary attorney fees that diminish your claim. I had to do a lot of phone calling and data gathering on my own to facilitate my claim where I was the victim in an auto accident. Strongly encourage NOT to use Koonz, Mckenny, Johnson, Depaolis & Lightfoot.
Thank you Bill, Paulette, Kelly, and Erika! This law firm made me feel like my case was their #1 priority. Bill Lightfoot went above and beyond to take care of myself my wife and my children through these hard times. He treated me not like a client but like a member of his own family. My family and I are forever grateful for everything they have done for us. Because of their expertise and knowledge my wife and I were finally able to buy our dream house! We could not thank this firm enough. I would HIGHLY recommend this law firm to anyone and everyone needing help with their personal injury and/or worker's comp case. BILL LIGHTFOOT IS THE BEST!
David Schloss is an excellent Attorney. Despite numerous obstacles he was able to settle my case in a timely manner. He is an excellent strategist who achieves favorable results. If you have a challenging case David has the brain power and strategic skills needed for your case to prevail. I highly recommend him . He has proven track record of success and will work tirelessly to make his clients whole again.
Paulette and the Koonz McKenney team were amazingly helpful in leading me through such an unfamiliar and challenging process. Faced with the consequences and costs of medical negligence, Paulette was extremely knowledgeable and informative of what the process would entail. I could not have asked for better representation and support in difficult times.
OMG, what can I say about this firm and my attorney Andrew Larson? None other than I simply loved my experience from beginning to end. Andrew was very attentive, present, informative and cared. He made himself available via email and phone amd never left me dangling. Coming from a woman who doesn't easily trust, I wholeheartedly trusted and will continue to trust Andree to handle cases for me in the future. If there are any.
Continued blessings on your upward climb Andrew.
I had a workplace related issue and I was hesitant to call but when I called this law firm and I spoke with Mr Lightfoot I felt at ease and he was very knowledgeable and very helpful I would recommend that if you need a lawyer to represent you or simply want to get an idea as to whether you could proceed or not do not hesitate to call and speak with Mr Lghtfoot.
Very professional treatment. After the car accident, I only had to call them once, visit them once, and the rest was taking care of my health. They kept me updated with everything going on and also they offered very good advice of what to do and not to do. It has been a very transparent process and very communicative. If I need another legal representation, I know where I need to go. Highly recommended!
Mr. Lightfoot is one of the best experiences I ever had. Returns calls and texts promptly and always good to hear from.
I was in a car accident that changed the progressive trajectory of my life. William Lightfoot and his assistant Erika Thompson handled my case attentively and with diligence in addressing my concerns. He made himself available to meet with me and was patient in ensuring I understood all aspects of my case and the process of litigation. I have no doubt I made the right choice in having Mr. Lightfoot represent me in my case and I recommend him without reservation.
I was referred to William J. Lightfoot by a colleague who had a similar experience. I chose him over other attorneys because of her expressed confidence in his capacity to make the experience seamless and his authenticity with handling his cases. He did not disappoint! As a teacher, it was extremely important that the process wasn t time consuming and since I expressed that concern he ensured that I was not burdened or inconvenienced; a millennial connoisseur :). If you are looking for an attorney that is determined to handle your case while operating with your best interest, do not hesitate to contact William J. Lightfoot.
When I was in need of an attorney several friends and family members, all of whom are lawyers who practice in the District, recommended William Lightfoot. Mr. Lightfoot was calm and knowledgeable as he guided me through each step of the process. Not only did I appreciate working with him, but also his support staff. I cannot recommend working with him highly enough.
During this past summer, I had the honor and privilege of interning at the law office of Koonz, McKenney, Johnson, DePaolis, and Lightfoot in Washington, DC. As an undergraduate student from the University of California, Irvine with no prior experience or exposure to the professional culture of DC, I was initially apprehensive and worried about getting acclimated, especially since it was my first time in the city. Fortunately, one of the attorneys, William J Lightfoot, immediately took me under his wing and was extremely understanding and patient with me. Not only did he provide me with a diverse work experience (conduct research, write up chronologies, answer interrogatories, and draft legal memoranda), but he also took the time to give me constructive feedback and suggestions on each of my assignments. As a prospective law student, it was immensely helpful and invaluable to receive feedback from an actual attorney who genuinely cared about my personal development and future as an attorney. Moreover, Will provided me with opportunities to attend events that were outside of the office I had the privilege of observing numerous client intake interviews, depositions, and both informal and formal hearings. Will truly strove to make my summer internship as meaningful as possible, and I am grateful for the plethora of opportunities that I was able to experience because of him. For any prospective students interested in work surrounding personal injury law, I implore you to reach out to Koonz McKenney. I had an extremely fulfilling internship experience, and I am confident that future interns will experience the same.
I am very glad that my sister chose Bill Lightfoot to represent me after my catastrophic accident in February of 2004. Mr. Lightfoot and his assistant Paulette Chapman were always available when I needed to talk to them or see them about any important matters. I and my family always felt comfortable when I came to his office and all the amenities (coffee,tea, sodas, food) that were offered every time . I probably gained a few extra pounds because of those visits. I know that I had a very difficult and complex case and I truly believe that no one else could have successfully accomplished such a great outcome as Bill Lightfoot did with the complexity of the circumstances which surrounded this case. My family and I were very fortunate to have a team as caring and knowledgeable to handle this very tragic life changing time in our lives. I recommend him highly and have referred several people that were seeking legal assistance in their accident cases. Bill Lightfoot and Paulette Chapman are the VERY BEST!!!!!
I worked directly with Bill Lightfoot as his law clerk, he is a phenomenal attorney and incredible boss. It was great to work with him and other attorney's at the firm -- they provide top notch service for clients!
Roger Johnson, Kasey Murray and Betsy Berry helped me navigate a very complicated personal injury case. They did not waiver in their determination to settle the details in this complicated matter.
Roger is a thoughtful and highly competent attorney that will work very hard for you. Meeting him was a benefit to needing an attorney. I will always consider Roger a friend and the nicest, but also most effective, lawyer that I have ever met. He was trustworthy, honest and accountable throughout my case. I would highly recommend him for legal representation in any personal injury cases.
I was referred to Paulette E. Chapman, an attorney in Koonz McKenney, Johnson, Depaolis and Lightfoot, by a well respected family attorney and friend. Paulette exceeded my expectation by her exceptionally thorough work on my potential case. I am greatful for her care and attention to all the details of my case. I strongly recommend her service.
In a few words, Paulette Chapman and Bill Lightfoot of Koonz, McKenney are Compassionate, Considerate, Confident and
Competent. As an attorney, I interviewed many firms before engaging Paulette and Bill and they proved to be the best team for the very complex, multidefendant personal injury case which involved my father's death and my mother's severe injuries. In my experience, there is no better team to have on your side when going through such an emotional, complex and difficult experience.
I truly felt represented by this firm. Mr. Beall took care of everything.
Great lawyer's and law firm. Very professional and helpful, will definitely recommend to anyone seeking legal counsel!
Mr. Lightfoot came to my rescue! I was really hurt by my GM's denial of my workmans comp claim. My injury is alot more severe than first thought. And he helped rush my work mans comp. claim. Mr. William J Lightfoot called or text me daily to check progress. And even though I have more medical treatments ahead. Im sure he will still check on me! I would recommend William J. Lightfoot to any and everyone. Because he cares. You are a special person Mr. Lightfoot. GOD BLESS YOU! And again THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!
I thought I had little chance of getting justice in my personal injury case , but Kelly Fisher has given given me hope: she is caring and willing to invest time and effort in her clients.
I can't say why I picked WJ Lightfoot but I'm glad that I did. If you want a lawyer who has your best entrance at heart WJ Lightfoot is the lawyer for you. If you want a lawyer who gets the job done WJ Lightfoot is the one.
