The heavy top after parry is guaranteed if you parry a top light (not sure about side light) b/c it has a stun effect, they basically can't move during that animation. It's different if you parry a heavy, b/c they can still block or roll away from your top counter if they have enough stamina. If they don't then it's also guaranteed.
Sorry to jump in here, reputation 5 Lawbringer here.
Parrying a light attack GUARANTEES a free overhead unblockable or a sideways impale charge. The timing for recovery on light and heavy attacks is different, however, as it is now conquerer light attack parries DO NOT guarantee this, as his recovery time is the same between heavy and light attack parries.
So basically, his damage isn't very high, no. His combos are deadly if you can fake out your opponent enough to hit more than once at a time, and most of them can be used with shove. His strength lies in his utility and his parry punishes, although his attacks could use a bit of a buff.
Since I have maxed out attack gear, level 108, My overhead heavies deal roughly half a warlord's health for free on a light parry. Gear damage HEAVILY influences the effectiveness of a Lawbringer.
EDIT: I re-read what you said and yes, unblockable overhead is guaranteed after any light attack parry, since it doesn't require a stance change to use it during the parry animation.
