About Roger
Biography
Mr. Orlando was first admitted to practice before the State Bar of New Jersey in 1988, after four years of undergraduate and three years of postgraduate study at Emory University’s School of Law (B.A. 1984; JD, 1987) in Atlanta, Georgia.
Shortly after graduation, Mr. Orlando gained admission to practice within the following additional jurisdictions: U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey (1989); District of Columbia (Washington, D.C.); State Bar of Georgia; U.S. District Court, Northern District of Georgia; U.S. Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit (1991); U.S. District Court, Northern and Middle Districts of Georgia (1992); and U.S. District Court, Eastern and Western Districts of Arkansas.
Mr. Orlando spent the earlier part of his legal career defending insurance companies and self-insured businesses against consumer allegations of injury as a result of the negligent acts or omissions of others. He has since chosen to fight for the average citizen, seeking a just remedy for injuries suffered by real people.
Now Mr. Orlando is making good use of his insurance-defense experience and represents individuals who have suffered catastrophic injury as a result of the negligence of others. From the first meeting with a client, Mr. Orlando begins in his mind to prepare his closing argument in case a trial becomes necessary. Thinking proactively, and leaving no stone unturned, often helps lead to enhanced and even surprising results.
Mr. Orlando is a Champion Member and proud supporter of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association and New Jersey Trial Lawyers Association.
Atlanta Personal Injury Lawyer with almost 40 years of experience handling auto/truck accidents and workers' compensation cases. Recovered over $1 billion in compensation for our clients.
Mr. Orlando is a former insurance company lawyer with over 25 years trial experience.

Roger W. Orlando's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Roger Orlando has been my mentor since I started practicing law in 2010. He has a deep wealth of knowledge and experience about law and life. He’s see. It all. From big cases to small cases, he knows how to win them all."
"I can't say enough good things about Roger. He is a conscientious, dedicated advocate for his clients and a fair and honest (but tough) opponent. I have had the opportunity to litigate against, and later with, Roger. (I prefer being on the same side.) His hard work is matched only by his desire to help others and seek justice for his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Roger always does an outstanding job for his clients and I highly recommend him. He works hard and has tremendous integrity."
"Roger is my hero! Roger would try a case that most attorneys would not try because there is not enough money to make sense for his time. However, Roger would do it. He does it because that is what his client deserved. He is truly the People's Attorney."
"Excellent attorney. Outstanding reputation."
"Roger and I spent over 12 years on opposite sides of a mass tort, class action case. He was lead counsel for the Plaintiffs and I represented the Defendant. I spent a lot of time with Roger over the course of this lawsuit and have enjoyed getting to know him. He is a pleasure to deal with and is a superb, ethical, and highly-talented lawyer. I recommend him as a skilled and effective advocate and a good man."

"I endorse this lawyer."
"Roger is a brilliant lawyer with the big results that solidify his position as a serious adversary against any insurance carrier. He knows how to keep cases moving forward while keeping building a bigger strategy toward a successful recovery. Many lawyers can only do one of another, but rarely both. Roger can and I wholeheartedly endorse him."
"In addition to being a highly experienced personal injury lawyer, Roger is one of the premier lawyers in the country for pharmaceutical product liability cases. He has leadership roles in several national cases against drug manufacturers."

"Roger is a great attorney both personally and professionally. He does not waste time focusing in on the legal issues and working hard to resolve them to his client's benefit. Although we were opposing attorneys on a divorce case, his professionalism was a major component in a favorable settlement for his client. His team of attorneys, paralegals and staff are friendly, well coordinated and organized. It made working with his entire office a pleasure and I highly recommend him."
