Atiya Myers Law: Advocating for Families and Justice in Los Angeles
Los Angeles, CA–Atiya Myers didn’t start her career in law. At 21, she was a chemical engineer at Chevron’s El Segundo refinery, drawn to the creativity and problem-solving of the field. But she quickly realized corporate politics and office bureaucracy weren’t for her. Outside work, she volunteered passionately—through her sorority Delta Sigma Theta, at Baldwin Hills Library, her church, and with teenagers in weekly Bible studies. Through these experiences, she discovered her true calling: working with people.
“My true passion lay in working with people—not machines or corporations,” Myers recalls.
Today, her motivation is anchored in three things: being a role model for her son, making a real difference in her clients’ lives, and challenging judicial systems that obstruct justice. Specializing in family law, personal injury, probate litigation—including guardianship and conservatorship—and as of December 2025, juvenile dependency matters, Myers approaches law with both analytical precision and human-centered care. She focuses on cases where the outcome profoundly affects people’s lives: custody disputes, personal injury claims, workers’ rights, assault and battery, and medical malpractice.
“Each case presents an opportunity to create tangible change,” she says. “These are human-centered areas of law where my work can be both intellectually rigorous and deeply meaningful.”
Rather than a single turning point, Myers’ approach to justice has been shaped by the accumulation of cases—particularly those involving families and children. She works with parents at every stage: from bitter disputes to unimaginable loss.
“Advocacy is not just about winning motions or trials,” she says. “It’s about walking with people through the hardest seasons of their lives. These experiences have made me more grateful, more grounded, and more committed to ensuring that my clients are not just heard—but genuinely helped.”
After 12 years in Los Angeles, Myers has deep roots in the city. She serves on the LA District Attorney’s African American Committee, advocating for her community, and is expanding her practice to include juvenile dependency and a senior and elder law division. “I want to make sure our concerns are not only heard but acted upon,” she says. Many of her clients face serious challenges. Divorce can bring the loss of generational wealth when families can’t afford to buy out shared property, disproportionately affecting working-class and minority households. Others navigate complex legal systems with little support or knowledge.
“My role is to offer not just legal representation, but strategic, long-view advocacy that empowers clients to rebuild and protect what matters most,” Myers says.
She also encourages young people, particularly from underrepresented communities, to pursue law
“Don’t just read law—read everything. Learn a little about a lot. Having a broad “fact bank” makes you sharper, more relatable, and more engaging. It helps you connect with judges, clients, and colleagues—and it builds your confidence in any room.”
