Grant was born Montana and grew up in Wyoming. He grew up in the Rocky Mountains, learning to love and cherish the outdoors. Flyfishing, mountain biking, snowboarding, backpacking, hunting, trail running, motorcycle riding, riding horses, camping, and spending time in the outdoors with family and friends shaped his life and passion for the outdoors. After graduating high school Grant attended the University of Wyoming to achieve a degree in Rangeland Ecology and Watershed Management with a Minor in Environment and Natural Resources.
During his summers in college, Grant worked as a wild-land firefighter, traveling the western United States on a hotshot crew. He continued on as a firefighter after graduating, working as a sawyer and squad-boss. Wildland firefighting taught Grant about intensely hard work and gave him an appreciation for a hard day’s pay. Sometimes they were forced to work up to 18 days straight in the rugged and remote mountainous country, where he packed a heavy chainsaw up and down those mountains to cut fire line in the fight against raging forest fires. The conditions were sometimes brutal, dangerous and often they wouldn’t get to speak to family and friends for days and sometimes weeks. Firefighting taught him major life lessons on hard work, dependability, trust, credibility, and accountability. And those lessons carried on with Grant through law school and into his practice as an attorney.
After graduating from law school in 2007, Grant furthered his education and skills by graduating from the Trial Lawyer’s College located on the beautiful Thunderhead Ranch outside of Dubois, Wyoming. In 2013, Grant was acknowledged as one of the Top 40 Lawyers under the age of 40 years old. Grant has worked extremely hard to become an exceptional trial lawyer and known as a fierce advocate for his clients. Each year he returns to the Trial Lawyers College to work with some of the brightest minds and greatest lawyers in all of America.
From oilfield and gas field drilling and pipeline accidents, trucking, motorcycle and vehicular accidents, civil rights, products liability, workplace accidents, unsafe premises conditions, nursing home malfeasance, medical malpractice, black mold and toxic torts, defamation – libel and slander, and numerous other catastrophic personal injury cases and wrongful death tragedies – Grant has built his career on helping and fighting for those who have been injured and families of those wrongfully killed due to the fault of others. “If you speak with my past clients, you’ll learn that my representation goes beyond the typical attorney-client relationship. At our firm, clients become family. I care deeply for those that I have the privilege to represent, and I fight tirelessly to achieve the level of justice that is required to right the wrongs they have suffered. If you or your loved ones need to put your legal fate in somebody’s hands, I hope that you come to me and our firm. I take this responsibility as serious as my own family’s future, because at Metier Law Firm, my clients become family.”
When Grant is not fighting for his clients, he spends as much time as he can with his beautiful wife and darling son in Wyoming where they live in the clean mountain air. He races mountain bikes competitively, has a golden retriever and office mascot named Huckleberry that he loves dearly, and fly fishes the streams of Wyoming.
