A former prosecutor with more than a decade of hands-on trial experience.
Grant Bryan has spent his career in the courtroom: trying cases, evaluating evidence and translating complex, unsettling facts in ways juries understand. As a former criminal prosecutor, Grant was involved in nearly 60 jury trials and developed a wealth of practical trial experience that he applies every day when advocating for his clients at Lightfoot.
For 11 years, Grant was a prosecutor for the Bexar County District Attorney's Office, ultimately serving as Deputy Chief for its largest division, the Child Abuse, Sex Crimes, and Family Violence Unit. In that role, Grant trained and oversaw more than 100 prosecutors and staff, managed the unit’s active docket, developed and executed jury trial strategies and worked closely with survivors and law enforcement.
Grant keenly understands how to assess and interpret evidence in a client’s case to craft compelling trial strategies and courtroom narratives. His view of his role as a storyteller enables him to effectively convey a client’s side of an issue to a judge or jury. His experience advocating for survivors has finely tuned his understanding of the unique needs of a client and their desired outcomes. Skilled in negotiation, Grant pursues all possible avenues to find the appropriate resolution for his clients, including mediation and arbitration.
An in-demand speaker, Grant frequently presents on topics such as trial strategy and litigation tactics. In his role as district attorney, he trained new prosecutors and conducted internal sessions on docket management, trial tactics and case analysis. He has also conducted routine trainings for the Texas District & County Attorneys Association and law enforcement and regularly speaks at legal industry conferences.
Grant’s community involvement has seen him serving on the San Antonio Youth Organization’s board of governors for many years, where he assisted in the transition of two CEOs. He is a member of the Actors Equity Association and enjoys both singing and acting in regional productions. He spends his leisure time traveling and hiking with his husband.
