About Jay Myerson

When I founded our firm in 1986, it was my goal to create a litigation practice that provides personalized service to individuals, families and small businesses in distress. For nearly three decades, I have remained true to this goal. I have developed a culture of genuine concern and commitment to our clients, the legal community of Northern Virginia, the greater Northern Virginia community and the Commonwealth of Virginia.

I most recently served as President of the Virginia State Bar from July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022. You can read my final President’s Message column here: VSB June 2022 President’s Message.

I was twice elected to Virginia Bar Council, representing the 19th District and have been a member of the Virginia State Bar Executive Committee since 2018. I have also been a member of the VSB Standing Committee on Budget and Finance and the Standing Committee on Legal Ethics. I have served as a member of the Harry L. Carrico Professionalism Course faculty, the VSB Study Group on Online Elections and the 19th Judicial Circuit Committee on Resolution of Fee Disputes.

In 2012-2013, I served as President of the Fairfax Bar Association (FBA). During this time, I initiated a task force that successfully funded badly needed judgeship positions. I also completed the formation of a mentorship program for new attorneys. I have served as chair of the FBA Judicial Funding Task Force, as well as the FBA representative to the Fairfax County Domestic Violence Prevention, Policy and Coordinating Council. I have also served as the American Bar Association’s House of Delegates and am a past president of the George Mason American Inn of Court.

I am a five-time recipient of the Fairfax Bar Association’s President’s Award and was the 2018 recipient of the Local Bar Leader of the Year Award from the VSB’s Conference of Local and Specialty Bars. I was selected as one of 30 attorneys named as “Leaders in the Law-Class of 2013” by the Virginia Lawyers Weekly for outstanding contributions to the justice system in Virginia. I have also been named as one of 38 attorneys inducted into the Virginia Law Fellows, Class of 2014. This is an honor “conferred on Virginia lawyers of integrity and character who are outstanding in their profession and in their communities.” The Fellows represent the top 1 percent of lawyers and retired judges in the Commonwealth.
