Lucas is an attorney specializing in construction law. Litigating in the courtroom is where Lucas feels at home, but he gets the most satisfaction from assisting clients with their business and resolving disputes well before litigation is necessary. Lucas builds trust and relationships with his clients by providing advice and guidance through difficult times. Lucas’ father was Richard Farinato, and his step-mother was Sue Lunson Farinato. Richard’s career involved animals, and his professional accomplishments included working for many years in Zoos and ultimately serving as the Director of Captive Wildlife for the Humane Society of the US in Gaithersburg, a position he held for well over a decade before retiring. Sue always was involved in animal welfare and rights. Her activities included volunteering with Second Chance Wildlife Center in a number of capacities. When Richard and Sue passed, Lucas wanted to contribute something to the causes that they held as important and meaningful in their life, and he is pleased to be able to do so by supporting the organization that Sue devoted a lot of time to and that Richard always held in high esteem. In 2024, Lucas was named a 2024 LEADER IN LAW by The Daily Record and the Maryland State Bar Association honor outstanding legal professionals across Maryland who are serving businesses, clients, and individuals and making communities stronger.
