Lucas J. Myers

Counsel

Lucas Myers is a seasoned litigator with over a decade of experience handling a wide variety of commercial claims. As a member of the firm’s Construction & Design Practice Group, he focuses his practice on disputes and accidents arising from design, construction, and environmental projects. Lucas prides himself on efficiently obtaining the best possible outcome for his clients.

Prior to moving to Colorado, he was a partner for several years at a respected insurance defense firm in Michigan, where his expertise as a litigator led to the successful resolution of hundreds of lawsuits against insurers in some of Michigan’s least hospitable forums. Before that, Lucas began his practice at one of Hawaii’s premier law firms. There, in addition to an array of other commercial claims, he successfully litigated two class actions as lead counsel. In one, he represented the class of property owners adjacent to Enchanted Lake in Kailua against a developer and its construction contractors. That action settled for policy limits and resulted not only in compensation for the property owners, but also in Enchanted Lake’s complete remediation.

Originally from Wisconsin, Lucas received his bachelor’s degree in political science from Arizona State University, which he attended on a full National Merit Scholarship. He was also named one of one hundred U.S. Senate Scholars. After college, Lucas worked as a claims adjuster for over two years before attending law school. He then obtained his juris doctorate from the Michigan State University College of Law, graduating summa cum laude. In law school, he was the only member of his class selected for both moot court and law review. After winning the regional competition in New York, his moot court team took third overall at the ABA’s National Appellate Advocacy Competition in Chicago. Following law school, Lucas further focused on litigation by obtaining a masters in Litigation & Dispute Resolution from the George Washington University School of Law, the only program of its kind in the nation.
