History

Having worked together for over a decade, Andrew Meyers and Marvin Straus formed Straus Meyers, LLP in 2018 with the goal of providing aggressive, cost effective representation while maintaining the utmost respect and appreciation for our clients.  

Marvin Straus began his career working for one of the largest insurers in the United States as defense counsel.  After years defending insureds he joined a small regional firm focusing on insurance defense and coverage.  In 2018 Marvin and Andrew Meyers formed Straus Meyers, LLP.

Andrew Meyers joined forces with Marvin Straus in 2007 in San Diego, CA.  From 2007 to 2018, Andrew and Marvin provided legal representation for some of the nation's largest and best insurers, large and small business, and individuals.  No matter the budget or complexity, each matter was provided with the utmost attention.  Over the course of ten short years, an office of two has grown to an office of multiple attorneys, paralegals, and support staff.  Desiring further growth potential and the ability to dynamically adapt to our clients' needs, in 2018 Straus Meyers, LLP was formed.
