Lucas William Hannum Garrett

I am committed to achieving justice for vulnerable persons. I focus my practice on helping those who have been injured physically or financially, whether it be by intentional wrongs, invidious discrimination, or the negligence of others.

I am an accomplished trial lawyer. I am at home in the courtroom and thrive on the challenge of litigating complex cases. Before joining SGB, I worked as a public defender with the King County Department of Public Defense, where I tried dozens of cases to verdict and earned a reputation for both creativity and diligence. I have taught evidence and trial advocacy to other attorneys.

In law school, I worked as an editor for the Journal of Law and Inequality, represented low-income individuals in disputes with their employers, helped a Guatemalan torture victim seek asylum in the United States, and researched school and housing segregation for the Institute on Race and Poverty. After law school, I served as a law clerk to the Honorable Judge Joan N. Ericksen in the federal district court of Minnesota and to Justices Alan Page, Helen Meyer, and Sam Hanson in the Minnesota Supreme Court.
