Richard Roth is the consummate attorney. The scope and depth of his legal knowledge, courtroom and negotiating skills in commercial litigation has impressed me for the many years I have known him on a professional basis. If you are ever in need of a sharp, insightful and aggressive litigator, he is the one to call. His results speak for themselves!

Excellent Attorney
I have hired Richard on numerous occasions. He is very detail oriented and always made sure to take on my cases as if I were his only client. I cannot recommend him enough to anyone looking for an experienced attorney

Extremely Complex Litigation, Arbitrations, Mediations
To be perfectly clear I do not think that there is a smarter more effective litigator in the country. He has not represented me and won in federal court litigations, but also large scale arbs, and achieved results in both, as well as mediations, that well exceeded my wildest expectations. In a world drowning with lawyers, Richard truly sets himself apart not just by his superior work but the fact that he genuinely cares about his clients as people. He has fought for me with all of his heart ( literally ) and for the past 16 years I have chosen only Richard as my go to, trusted attorney. I have also referred him a MASSIVE AMOUNT OF BUSINESS and they are equally as satisfied.
