attorney, she has spent her career litigating complex civil matters involving personal injury,
mass torts, civil rights, and insurance coverage in federal and state courts.
Ms. Meyers has extensive trial experience in insurance litigation. She recently tried an insurance
coverage matter, wherein the jury found in favor of the Plaintiff by concluding that the
insurance company improperly denied the Plaintiff’s request for payment of life insurance
benefits.

California Department of Transportation, as a supervising trial attorney for the City of Oakland,
and as an associate and an insurance coverage partner at a firm in Oakland, California. She was

“Ghost Ship” fire, the deadliest fire in the history of Oakland.
Ms. Meyers earned a B.A. in Political Science from California Polytechnic University, San Luis
Obispo, in 2000, where she was a member of the Pi Sigma Alpha National Honors Society. She
