Amy Gibson is a trial lawyer in Dallas, Texas. She learned early from her family’s examples that not participating in a wrong is not enough — you must speak up and do something about it.
She represents individuals from all walks of life in employment cases and disability and health insurance benefit cases. She is dedicated to helping clients have their voices heard against the powerful and to change their communities for the better.
The Edge seminars and KTI colleges have dramatically improved her ability to do so. Amy is one of the Moderators for the Employment Seminar as well as a KTI Faculty member for Witness Prep, Trial, Mediation, and Employment Elective. Her first two jury trials after reaching master level at KTI colleges each resulted in a judgment of over $2 million.

Michelle is one of the few lawyers, if not the only lawyer, in North Carolina who has both Big Law and Big Company defense experience as well as 10 years of employee-side employment litigation experience, which she has handled almost exclusively since 2015. Michelle possesses a deep understanding of the many challenges employees face dealing with wage theft and other illegal employment practices.
Being the first in a blue-collar, single-parent family to achieve a college degree, Michelle’s appreciation for hard-working employees gives her an altruistic perspective and purpose when she provides counsel, litigation, and/or advocacy services for her clients.
Prior to its formation, Michelle gained extensive experience in all legal issues facing the retail, restaurant, and hospitality industries by serving as the Chief Litigation and Employment Law Counsel for publicly traded companies such as Family Dollar Stores, Inc. (FDO), Darden Restaurants, Inc. (DRI), Big Lots Stores, Inc. (BIG), and TriNet (TNET). Michelle also served as SVP, General Counsel, and Chief Administrative Officer for Ovation Brands, a privately held $1 billion restaurant company.
As of 2026, Michelle serves as a policy advisor with the Keenan Trial Institute.
Michelle’s most treasured role is “mom” to three young adults. Michelle enjoys working out, attempting to play golf, and spending time with her family and close friends.
A longtime resident of Montana, Lucas Foust founded his law firm in Bozeman nearly 20 years ago. He understands that hardworking Montanans don’t like asking for help—after all, he’s one of them!—but he prides himself on being a different kind of lawyer: tough and unwilling to back down, but not the egocentric bully many people imagine when they think of lawyers.
Born in Moscow, Idaho, Lucas grew up in Columbia Falls with four brothers and graduated from Columbia Falls High School in 1988. He attended college at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, then returned to Montana for law school at the University of Montana in Missoula, where he earned a position on the Montana Law Review and the moot court team. After law school, he clerked for the Honorable W. William Leaphart of the Montana Supreme Court, began practicing law in 1997, and opened Foust Law Office in Bozeman in 1999.
In 2015, a life-changing experience at Gerry Spence’s Trial Lawyer College in Dubois, Wyoming, led Lucas to practice law with more compassion and understanding of where his clients are coming from. He has since led over 100 jury research projects—more than any other attorney in Montana—setting his firm apart and helping him successfully represent clients at trial time and time again.
As of 2026, Lucas serves as a policy advisor with the Keenan Trial Institute. He is also the proud father of three young adults and referees high school basketball games in Gallatin County.
