What prompted you to start your own business?: I knew the Oxnard Air Force Base had closed in 1970 and was reopening as a general aviation airport, so I moved from Van Nuys to Camarillo to position myself to be on the ground floor when the airport opened. I saw this as my opportunity to turn my hobby — flying — into my career.

What prompted you to start your own business?: Sam Manfredi and I went to law school together and then clerked at various law firms. When I graduated law school, and passed the bar exam, I knew that I wanted to operate my own law firm. Manfredi and I formed our firm with high hopes, high expectations, but few clients and virtually no experience running a law firm. We worked very hard and learned quickly. We added a third partner who had lots of experience, lots of clients, and no desire to manage the firm. Perfect match.

What prompted you to start your own business? Desire to have a smaller boutique firm focusing on employment law needs on the management side, to have more control over client service, stronger relationships with clients and a more hands-on approach to mentoring our junior attorneys.

What prompted you to start your own business? I always knew I wanted to study law. My first job out of law school was working in the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office. One of my colleagues, a man named Omer L. Rains (who later became a state senator), left to start his own private practice. In 1971, he asked me to join him, and we founded the law firm Rains & Myers. At first, we handled primarily criminal defense and divorce cases as well as civil litigation and business matters.
