Garen vs Jax at least is very easy to win. In fact, the general consenseus is that Garen should take the lane easy. Its quite simple. Start with Q, then E, then W, then power up E.

For combat, try to bait out his counter strike by hitting W early. DON'T attack him during his counter strike then simply Q and E, you will destroy him. If he doesn't use it, simply farm. I can assure you Garen is very viable, predominantly its simply a case of knowing how the enemy champions mechanics works. This applies very much to Jax. Also be wary of Jax "baiting" your spin into the Minion Wave, causing you push. If he refuses to avert from his minion, freeze the lane and wait for him to counter-strike and jump you. Time your W just before the counter strike ends so you can reduce the max amount of damage. Then Q and E him to oblivion.

Vs Lee Sin, the key is to dodge his ranged ability which allows him to fly kick at you from a huge range. Once that is dodged, lay the smack down into him. Similar case to Jax. Its about reacting to his initial shots, but in Lee's case, stay near your minion wave to dodge his ranged/jump spell.
