Jeff Myers is an excellent healthcare attorney with litigation expertise.

Jeff Myers is an extremely knowledgeable attorney who combines his background as a criminal lawyer with his healthcare expertise to offer his clients healthcare litigation expertise. Jeff has represented my company in contract matters. He has spoken at healthcare symposiums that I have attended and... exhibits a very high level of knowledge regarding healthcare. He also represents two clients that I am associated with in their legal defense of their healthcare licenses. His defense of them excels as he is able to utilize his background as a criminal attorney to provide strong defenses for his clients.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
