Jamie N. Myers

I retained Jamie for a dependency case involving my first born child that continued onward during my second pregnancy & subsequent birth, who became immediately involved in the case due to an existing dependency being open. Jamie is straightforward, very intelligent, & prioritizes what is appropriate... to discuss in the court room to focus on meeting my goals (aka protecting my children from the department and a dangerous biological parent). She let me know from our first meeting how to behave when engaging with DCS, that fighting them gets you nowhere, & that I would have to do 100% of the work or she could do nothing for me. I did that, and then some. I now, once again, have sole custody of both my children, as well as over a year of sobriety, and an entirely new mindset and a new life. I can’t speak for anyone but myself, but the negative reviews on here sound like parents not willing to do what they needed to do, while expecting an attorney they didn’t pay a dollar to to somehow work magic for them. I could have had Jamie appointed for free to represent my newborn but I retained her instead- I could not live with myself not financially compensating the amazing woman and attorney who played a major role in me having my sons today. I could not live without my children and could not watch attorneys work for free to help me fix MY mistakes that caused the dependency, no matter how awful & crooked we know the department to be. Jamie & Brittany (her assistant) are amazing to work with & when I am ready to take the next steps, I will absolutely call Jamie first. I highly recommend her if you need a confident, well-spoken attorney on your side.

Mrs.Meyer's was my son's cps attorney. For 14 heartbreaking months my 5 year old had no voice in court. Never once did she tell the court that my son missed his family and wanted to come home. He said it everyday to whoever would listen. For 14 months I never stopped fighting until my case was dismi...ssed and he came home. My cps caseworker told me that never had she seen such road blocks for a child by their own attorney. Sadly her role in our horrible ordeal was just a brick in the wall. From Casa's to lawyers, foster parent's to Judges. From the moment my son was removed from my care I changed my life. It took me 2 frantic weeks to get a response form cps where my child was. At which time me and my 18 year old daughter were told that there would be no placement with family! That is there mandate! How was this happening in America? I was fed up and contacted Jamie directly. She had not been notified that my son was removed and placed in foster care! For 6 weeks my boy had no lawyer. A ward of the state. I still am not getting visits. not one. I was in a family shelter with staff and drug and alcohol testing, his 18 year old sister with a 2 bedroom apt. and employment and lastly , his Grandma with no criminal record whom my son adores were all told he could not be placed with any of us. This should have been an 'easy' one. Clearly the child's best interests are being ignored, his civil and foster kid right's violated. 6 weeks in that home with no legal council, Shame on you , Mrs.Meyer's.

Jamie Myers was our attorney for our adoption and she was perfect. She left no stone unturned and ensured our adoption went off without a hitch. She took the time to explain the process answer any and all questions and her staff was warm and receptive. I would without a doubt recommend Jamie Myers to... anyone looking for a brilliant, diligent, responsive and reliable lawyer for their juvenile, family or child custody law.

Jamie Myers was my court appointed attorney for Child Protective Services case. Because of her I missed one of the first court hearings. She wrote me a letter dated June 27th informing me I had a court hearing on July 5th. This would have been okay except she did not mail it (postmarked) until July 2...nd right before the July 4th holiday weekend. I received this letter on July 5th after I got home from work that day stating I had a 10:30 a.m. appointment that morning. My daughter was taken by CPS in the first week of June, I have had a couple of calls from her office, asking if I had been served paperwork and another call asking my permission if my daughter could go out of state on a trip already planned by her guardians that the court appointed. As of now, Setember 1st, I still have not spoke 1 time to Jamie Myers about my case. After trying to file paperwork with the courts myself, and being told I would have to go through my appointed attorney to file the paperwork I proceeded to hand deliver this paperwork to her office. The address on all the letters that came from her office turned out to be a post office box at a UPS Store, when I called her office ( of course she was not available to talk) I was given the physical address. I then drove to her office and eventually found it, I then had to wait in the lobby for a considerable amount of time after the lady at the front desk called somebody to come up to retrieve the paperwork, after a while I called her office again and told them I'm waiting out in the lobby to give them paperwork and finally had someone take my paperwork. I have no faith on anything positive comming from her office... I'm in the process of getting the courts to cancel her as my attorney so that in the future I can submit my own paperwork to the court. I read some other reviews left and I have to agree with them, not recommending to use her services....your better off doing it on your own.

Ms. Myers was my foster/adoptive son's court appointed guardian ad litem and our guardian angel. I can honestly say that she saved my son's life and I am eternally grateful to her. She and her staff are not only professional but they are caring, compassionate, and dedicated advocates for their clien...ts. I had just moved to the state. I didn't know anyone and had very little knowledge of the system. She explained everything, made time & reached out to ensure I received the extra support I needed. She is incredible in the courtroom... smart, fast, and always one step ahead as an excellent lawyer should be. Ms. Myers advocated for my son for about a year and a half and then was also our adoption lawyer. There was no one else I wanted seated next to us on our adoption day. She is like family because she helped to create ours. I shudder to think of where my son would be today if she wasn't assigned to our case. I wish every foster child could have her as their GAL. She and her staff are truly Angels. I thank god for them and all of Arizona should as well.
