Angela Myers

Angela Myers was born in Memphis, TN. She obtained her undergraduate degree from Evangel University, where she graduated with honors. In 2002 she received her law degree from University of Memphis, ranked number 2 in her law school class. 

In 2002, she returned to Springfield, MO with her husband, a native of Republic, MO and was admitted to practice before Missouri state courts and the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri. Her legal career has led her down diverse paths, giving her a broad exposure to the practice of law. The first 10 ½ years of her practice was focused on litigating personal injury, medical negligence, wrongful death and products liability (including automobile, medical malpractice, slip and falls).  She practiced with the law firm Placzek & Francis, in plaintiffs’ civil litigation. When the opportunity arose, she went to clerk for Judge William W. Francis at the Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District, Springfield, Missouri (a former partner at Placzek & Francis).

After her time at the Missouri Court of Appeals, Angela began focusing her legal practice in the areas of Elder Law, Probate, Estate Planning and Litigation- including civil litigation and probate litigation. Angela’s primary practice at The Elder Law Group, LLC is in elder law, probate, estate planning, and trust administration work, although her practice spans other areas such as general litigation, probate & trust litigation, personal injury litigation, and small business formation.

Angela was selected as one of Missouri Lawyer’s Weekly 2018 Women’s Justice Awards Honorees. 

Angela is actively involved in local, state, and national organizations. She is a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, the Missouri Chapter of National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, The Missouri Bar, and The Springfield Metropolitan Bar Association. She was instrumental in the beginning years of the Southern Missouri Women Lawyers and most recently served on the Board of Directors and Events Committee Chair. She also served on the Assemblies of God Credit Union Board of Directors, including Vice Chairman of the Board. In addition to her work as an attorney, Angela is member of the Junior League of Springfield, serves on the board of Include Ozarks, served on the Mayor’s Commission on Human Rights and Community Relations in Springfield, Missouri, and completed Ozarks Chamber Ozarks Leads class in 2017-18. She has attended and been a member at James River Church since returning to Springfield, and actively volunteered in the Elementary Department of James River Church for over 12 years.
