Default Attention: Sharp Light Innovations Customers

Sharp light innovations LLC is a single-member company I have run from my home (FKA Radioflyer Innovations) for over a decade. As some of you may know, I have been involved in a custody dispute with my ex wife over my daughter (Avery) since 2016. This is my first major experience with the legal system.

As of mid 2017, I stopped using attorneys and took up self-representation in the matter. I succeeded in being able to bring my daughter home (to Texas) to visit for half the year. I continued litigation as needed in the circuit and appellate court levels expanding my skill and experience understanding and navigating the legal system. While the matter at hand was intensely personal, I became very interested in the practice of law.

In 2021, I decided to go to law school and took the LSAT for the second time in Oct 2022. I was accepted to Thurgood Marshall School of Law in Houston for the Fall 2023 semester. I expect to graduate in 2026 and become a full-time attorney.

I will continue to operate Sharp Light Innovations during my schooling however will not be able to answer phone calls during school. I will do my best to answer emails between classes and after school. Orders continue to be processed and sent out with minimal disruption in build time. I am able to study using a variety of multimedia materials I can review while working at home.

I intend to keep Sharp Light Innovations active as a side-business even after I begin my legal career, though processing times and contact will be impacted by time demands of my primary occupation.

This being said, if you need to contact me, email is the best way. I can be reached through the “contact us” at the bottom of the home page: (sharplightinnovations.com) or directly to: president@sharplightinnovaitons.com



Thank you.

- George Argel





BTW: Avery wants to be a Supreme Court Justice one day. Here we are at school where I gave her a tour.

Having just passed my 10 year anniversary of graduating from law school, allow me to say... YOU'RE MAKING A TERRIBLE MISTAKE, RUN AWAY NOW WHILE YOU STILL CAN...

Just kidding! Best of luck to you! Glad you're keeping Sharp Light open, I plan on ordering some LED headlights sometime soon.

God bless you Brother. I am proud for you. Sounds like you are a very passionate Daddy. Nothing like getting to be a father. What a beautiful young lady. My three grown sons are my best buddies, and I am deeply thankful to God for them and for their friendship. Best wishes, and thank you for sharing this news with us.

Big time congrats on the six months with the daughter. I can tell by the smile on her face that she is very happy to be with her daddy. Custody battles can be brutal but you seem to have gotten inspiration from it. Speaking only for myself, focus on school and your daughter first. Lights for our silly obsession can take a back seat.

GOOD LUCK BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

Bad ex wives can be good motivation.

Glad to see you fight for your daughter and also improve your life in the same quest!

Too many let these things destroy them.

Congrats on your victory. Ive been divorced twice, and got full custody of my kids each time. Doesn't say much for my, uh, abilty to choose good mothers. I wish you the best in your pursuit of a law degree.

I think you will be a very good attorney. I am grateful that you plan to continue to operate your excellent automotive lighting business. I have your HID lights in the original pop-up headlight housing on both of my supercharged C5s, and I love them! So much better than the GM stock lights! I might get your LED lights sometime in the future.
