Nat Garrett brings more than 15 years of experience litigating appeals in federal and California courts and complex cases in trial courts. Nat has argued appeals before the United States Supreme Court, federal circuit courts, and the California Court of Appeal across constitutional, trade secrets, employment, business torts, consumer class actions, securities, and product liability matters.
