About Jarmeika

Army National Guard veteran, former VA Attorney Advisor, and the founder of a law practice built around knowing her clients.

Jarmeika L. Taylor

Before law school, I served twelve years in the Indiana Army National Guard, rising to Sergeant and serving as a retention NCO and a hazardous materials certifying official. Along the way I worked in sales, operations, and member service, including advising military families on their benefits at Navy Mutual and reviewing powers of attorney and trust documents at Edward Jones.

I earned my law degree from Southern Illinois University, clerking for the school’s Veterans’ Legal Assistance Program and for legal aid offices in Illinois and Tennessee. I was also a member of the Military Law Society.

Since then I’ve practiced in legal aid with Indiana Legal Services, in private firms, as a staff attorney with the Veteran Advocacy Project, as an Attorney Advisor with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and most recently handling personal injury and workers’ compensation claims.

Today I represent small businesses and nonprofits alongside individuals and families. That business work also makes room for pro bono work, so more people can get help when they need it.

Every one of those roles taught me what clients need most: someone who listens, follows through, and treats their problem like it matters. That’s the practice I’ve built.
