Lucas Wagner
Lucas is a skilled and compassionate attorney who will work diligently to help you fully understand the issues you are facing. He believes in client-centered representation and will leverage his skill and experience to help you achieve your goals.
A graduate of the University of Montana Law School, Lucas earned his Juris Doctor degree with academic honors and pro bono honors. Prior to opening Lucas Wagner Law, he practiced with the Montana Office of the State Public Defender, Montana Innocence Project, and as a private associate attorney. He has represented clients in matters ranging from felony criminal trials to traffic violations to small business formation.
Raised in Southwest Montana, Lucas grew up spending his time in the woods and mountains. Before attending law school, he worked as a wildland firefighter, sawyer, ski instructor, and bartender. His time as a squad boss and training instructor with the Montana State Prison Fire Crew — where he worked closely with incarcerated individuals — inspired him to attend law school and focus on criminal defense. He is the first attorney in his family and understands how confusing and intimidating the legal system can be to someone without formal training and experience.
Every legal issue is different and should be treated as such. Lucas will work with you to help you fully understand your case and to help you specifically define your goals. Then, he will help you achieve them.
