"Roger is one of the best plaintiff’s lawyers in the state, and also happens to be a great person. Representative of his sharp intellect and tireless work ethic, Roger has obtained numerous high-dollar verdicts and settlements. In addition to being a highly regarded trial attorney, Roger is also an accomplished appellate attorney. In fact, I first met Roger when I was preparing for an important appeal before the Supreme Court of Virginia. Roger unselfishly took the time to provide his insights concerning the important issues on appeal. Roger is a highly ethical attorney who devotes endless hours of time to legal scholarly writing and the presentation of continuing education course for lawyers. I strongly endorse Roger."

"I endorse Roger for personal injury because that is the broadest category for the type of law he practices. Roger uses his exceptional intellectual talents and lawyering skills to help clients in medical malpractice and wrongful death -- and many types of other injury cases. He is tenacious in digging into the law to find out what it really means -- no shortcut approach for him. He is always eager to help clients - and other lawyers - solve their legal problems."
