Atiya Myers is the founder of Atiya Myers Law Firm and an Atlanta native. Prior to starting her own law firm, she attended Tuskegee University and graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering. While at Tuskegee, she was involved in various organizations as a leader, including Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. After graduating, she moved to California to start a job with Chevron Products Company. With a few years of experience as an engineer, Myers found that she enjoyed working with people and advocating for them and decided to return to school to study law. She attended the University of California, Irvine School of Law where she participated in many clinics and in the summer associate program at an intellectual property firm. She joined the same law firm after graduating where she focused on patent law but eventually wanted to be more involved in the courtroom. Now, she focuses her practice areas on helping people in her community, specifically business owners and families. She has lived through the complex issues of family members becoming injured and not knowing how to respond to the constant demands and now pledges to "trade your problems for solutions." She is admitted to practice law in the state of California as well as the Eastern District of California and the Central District of California. We are honored to have Atiya as a member of The National Black Lawyers Top 40 Under 40!
