"Roger is a razor sharp attorney who possesses the rare quality of being both an academic and courtroom heavyweight. He is among the small group who take cases to juries and has won “not guilty” verdicts in cases that appeared unwinnable. He is also a brilliant writer who has had appeals granted by both the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court of Virginia. Simply put, Roger is a bad, bad man."
"Roger is one of the most well-respected criminal defense attorneys in the Tidewater area. He’s an extremely intelligent and well-prepared advocate who will fight tooth and nail for his clients. Roger is an absolute predator— both in and out of the courtroom. I strongly endorse Roger Whitus."
"Roger is a great attorney with strong litigation skills. He cares about his clients, willing to go an extra mile to get the best results."
