Gets the job done

My case was dragged on for years by an attorney that didn’t care to help me. He actually made it worse for me. I requested a new attorney and was given Jennifer Myrick. She actually communicated with me, and made me feel good about my case. She was very helpful and uplifting. My case was closed/dismi...ssed within months of her being on it, and I’m thankful to have gotten her. I felt like she viewed me as another human, not just someone who was in trouble. Thank you Jennifer!

My blonde bulldog!

Jennifer was court appointed to me, and I feel fortunate to have had her assigned to my case. Her investigator was such a positive player on her team. I was told that Jennifer was a “Bulldog” and would work hard for me. She did just that! Having serious charges I was faced with.. my gal got my case ...Dismissed! Honestly she changed my life!

What a godsend….,

Jennifer has to be hands down the most amazing person I’ve ever dealt with in the legal world. I don’t know if I can find the words to express my gratitude for her. She was so professional, knowledgeable, understanding, and most of all she kicked butt in the courtroom. I would recommend her to ha...ndle anyone’s case in a heartbeat.

Super Star Attorney!

Ms. Myrick is the best public defender in Oregon

Ms. Myrick is such an incredible attorney. She knows the law inside and out; her trial advocacy skills are second to none; and the way she adeptly negotiates with opposing counsel leads to positive outcomes for her clients. On top of her incomparable competency as an advocate, she is just a good huma...n who really cares about her clients. She is devoted to the pursuit of justice and upholding the rule of law, while also balancing the messiness of real life in a trauma-informed way. I wholeheartedly recommend her, and feel lucky to be the recipient of her expert services.
