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.
