About Lucas
Biography
I was born and raised in Greenville where my family has been an integral part of the upstate for over 125 years. After graduating from J.L. Mann High school, I earned my BA from the University of South Carolina and then my J.D. from Mississippi College School of Law. It was a natural choice for me to return to Greenville because I want to serve our community. I returned in 2004 where I began my legal career with the 13th Circuit Solicitors Office.
During my 12 years of litigation as a prosecutor, I handled juvenile cases in Family Court, misdemeanor cases in Magistrate Court and felonies in General Sessions. For more than half of my career, I was a Deputy Solicitor and responsible for managing administrative and legal aspects of both the Greenville and Pickens offices. As unit head for the Violent Crimes Unit, I prosecuted a variety of complex cases such as Murder, Robbery, Burglary, Sexual Assault, DUI, Drugs, and Domestic Violence. In 2012, I was honored as the "Solicitor of the Year" by the Greenville County Sheriff's Office. I am a graduate of Leadership Greenville County in 2012 and a graduate of Leadership Greenville Class 42 (2016).

Should be disbarred
This "lawyer" is bought! He claims to be a Christian but matches all of the stereotypes of an unscrupulous "attorney." He should be disbarred!

Zero ethics
Lucas has no ethics and makes up false and slanderous things. Avoid him at all costs.

Unmatched integrity
His integrity is unmatched. Unless you compare him to Sydney Powell (the nut job still trying to overturn the election). Avoid this guy at all costs.

Lucas Craig Marchant's Lawyer Endorsements
"Lucas is an excellent trial attorney. Having lost cases against him when he was a prosecutor, Lucas is a fantastic trial attorney. He understands what makes a strong case, and what makes a weak case. His experience as a former prosecutor is invaluable in his criminal defense practice. He's a great attorney and fights for each of his clients. I fully endorse Lucas."
"Lucas was Assistant Deputy Solicitor for nearly the entirety of my time as an Assistant Solicitor. I know him to be hard-working and fair. In addition, I believe him to have impeccable judgment. If you're in a scrap, then he's the kind of guy you want in your corner. I can't say enough nice things about him."
"I worked with Lucas while at the solicitor's office. He has a strong work ethics, is intelligent, and has a deep understanding of our criminal justice system."
"Mr. Marchant is an advocate who uses his strong base of knowledge and experience as a prosecutor to zealously protect his clients. I recommend him highly!"
