Brian Kipling Myers

Brian Myers is the best attorney anyone can hire in Santa Cruz County. He has been my attorney for six years. This man knows the law and will fight for you with honesty and integrity. That may not be important to everyone, but it was, and still is, important to me. There is a reason why he is the... Santa Cruz County Family Law Bar Association President. They chose well. I met with Brian for a consultation 3 months before filing for divorce. I explained my dire circumstances and he listened. He didn't set a timer or watch the clock (like the others) and went well over the allotted time. Unlike some of the bottom feeders I met with, he showed compassion and I sensed this was a man who took his code of ethics seriously, which is very hard to come by with divorce attorneys. Let's face it, there's a special place in Hell for most of them. I told him I wasn't looking to hurt my soon-to-be ex-husband and he was okay with that. I thanked him for his time and left his office to consider what I would do. Three months later, I knew I had no choice but to file for divorce. I called and asked to speak with him. He was surprised I was calling him at that time; not because he thought it would work it out, but because it took me 3 more months before I finally walked away from an impossible situation. His compassion was palpable. He asked for a very reasonable retainer and had my divorce filed and served within a week. There wasn't one hiccup. My case inevitably became horribly ugly a few months later when an emergency custody request was necessary. He took care of everything and it was seamless. I then needed a Domestic Violence Restraining Order, which he secured for me for three years and then renewed for another five. I endured years of a custody/visitation battle with drug & alcohol testing, multiple reunification therapists, a move to a different county, etc. He's done it all for me. The bottom line: My kids are safe and I have Brian to thank for that. The one thing that was (and still is) most important to me while fighting this fight is this: I want to be able to come out of this someday with my head held high. I want my kids to know, someday when they're old enough, that I did everything right. I never lied. I never stooped to the lows the other side did. That's important to me. Kids figure out on their own at some point what's going on, so don't play dirty. That's my first bit of advice to anyone reading this. My second bit of advice is this: Hire Brian. He will be there for you every step of the way. He'll get the job done and he'll do it right. If you want an attorney who will represent you effectively, ethically and efficiently, Brian Myers is your guy.

I've had Brian as my attorney for the past 2 and a half years. He has helped me so much, I couldn't have done it without him! He is very knowledgable. He always replies to my emails and returns my phone calls. My case has been very tough at times and yet Brian maintained a calm and professional a...ttitude. I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Brian. I have found Brian to be very responsive, highly ethical and knowledgeable. Having worked with different attorneys over the years for various needs Brian is the top in responsiveness and just getting things done that I have worked with and it is so refreshing. Divorce ...is difficult enough on its own merits yet with Brian’s help it has made the process easier to navigate and manage through. Brian’s flexibility in establishing our working client/attorney relationship made a huge impact for me which I am grateful. I am thrilled to have established a relationship with Brian and will recommend him to anyone that could use his services. _____________________________________________________________________________________Brian is very responsive and prompt clear and articulate.
