An Injury Practice with Superior Service!
James M. Roth (Jim) grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. He pursued his undergraduate studies at Valdosta State University, where he received his Bachelors Degree with Honors. Mr. Roth worked for a year in Public Service and then enrolled at the Cumberland School of Law at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama.
While attending law school, he was a member of the Trial Competition Team, an organization consistently ranked among the top tier of competitive court programs across the country. Jim participated in several Mock Trial competitions while at law school, and won the Haley Trial Competition--the most prestigious competition in the program.
He served as a contributor of the Pro Confessio, a publication of Cumberland Law School.
After earning his law degree, Jim began his professional career as an In-house Trial Counsel for State Farm Insurance Company. While there, he handled cases ranging from personal injury car wrecks to multi-defendant complex liability litigation.
Jim has also practiced defense work for several major insurance carriers including Allstate, Progressive, Farmers, and U.S.A.A. He has represented clients injured as the result of mis-filled prescriptions, tractor-trailer wrecks, and interference with business relationships.
Jim participates at all levels of local and national bar organizations and other law-related community activities including the Atlanta and Birmingham Bar Association, Alabama Trial Lawyers Association, and the Georgia Personal Injury Association.
In addition to his professional representation, Jim has lectured and presented seminars on complex discovery, witness interviews, case preparation, pre-filing investigation, informal discovery, computerized research, as well as various other topics.
Jim focuses on complex trucking and common carrier wrecks, wrongful death, serious motor vehicle wrecks, bad faith insurance litigation, premises liability, general civil litigation, and commercial litigation.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
Jim and I have worked together on many occasions. Jim and his firm offer exceptional service and have a keen understanding of the law. Equally important, he works efficiently and provides strategic solutions to complex issues and challenges. I wholeheartedly endorse Jim and his practice.
James Robson, Car accident Attorney on Nov 16, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I have known Jim for many years and wholeheartedly endorse him. Jim is an aggressive advocate who is willing to fight for his clients to pursue the best possible outcome on their cases. My firm has also associated his firm on several cases over the years because we trust him as co-counsel and enjoy working with him.
Brendan Flanagan, Personal injury Attorney on Dec 16, 2015
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Jim sets the standard for superior service in the Atlanta personal injury arena. I recommend Jim because of his proven track record of maximizing results in even the most complex injury cases.
Bruce Hagen, Litigation Attorney on May 16, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I've known Jim Roth for many years. We were formerly opponents on several cases and I was always impressed with his abilities. Now that we're on the same side representing injured people, I see in Jim a kindred spirit who is passionate about his work and zealous in representing his clients.
Patrick Wheale, Car accident Attorney on Mar 6, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Each time I meet a successful trial attorney, I ask them what advice they can give a young lawyer, like myself. Each time I have been told to learn under attorneys like Mr. Roth, whom provide an unmatched level of experience and skill in the courtroom. His reputation precedes him, and clients will be well-served with Mr. Roth.
Robert Glass, Car accident Attorney on Feb 26, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I highly endorse Jim Roth as a fantastic attorney in the Atlanta legal community.
Mathew Titus, Car accident Attorney on Feb 9, 2015
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Jim is a great lawyer and I endorse his work without reservation. Jim can handle any sized personal injury case and deliver results few other lawyers could achieve. Furthermore, he has an excellent reputation in the legal community. He is hardworking, client focused, and a trusted advisor.
Trent Speckhals, Car accident Attorney on Dec 31, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
The highest endorsement I can give Jim is that he is who I send many personal injury and car collision referrals--including friends who need an attorney for a car collision. He is, simply, excellent. Not only does he know the law, but he is compassionate and relentless in his pursuit of justice for his clients. I recommend him without reservation.
Michael Melonakos, Car accident Attorney on Jun 18, 2014
Relationship: Co-worker
Jim is very knowledgeable about every aspect of personal injury and insurance law. Personal Injury cases are not simply about a person being injured and incurring medical bills. There are also myriad legal issues to deal with such as insurance coverage denials, uninsured motorist coverage issues, health insurance subrogation, destruction of evidence, and criminal issues if someone is hit by a drunk driver, etc.. Jim knows how to navigate all these issues in order to maximize the value of a case for his clients. He also has worked hard to build and train an amazing staff and attorneys to help clients with all the issues that confront them when they are hurt due to no fault of their own.
Kenneth Shigley, Car accident Attorney on Jun 14, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Jim Roth runs an efficient organization with an emphasis on client service, doing a good job for a large number of folks in moderate injury cases. And he does it with much better professionalism and results that the big "PI mills" that advertise on TV.

Jim is an outstanding trial lawyer. I first met Jim across the courtroom when he was a defense lawyer.

Michael Soucy, Car accident Attorney on Mar 4, 2013
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I had the pleasure of working with Jim when we were both attorneys with State Farm doing insurance defense. I have also seen him in action as he is now a Plaintiff's attorney. He sure has taken those defense secrets and uses those to his advantage now. Excellent courtroom demeanor and a true fighter.

I endorse Attorney Roth. His contributions to this forum are always timely and on point, and he provides a valuable public service in offering answers to consumers on general legal topics related to their personal injury claims. Based on his solid academic record, excellent reputation within the legal community, and proven track record of experience, I would recommend him to anyone seeking quality legal assistance.
Jacob Eby, Personal injury Attorney on Oct 26, 2012

Jim and his firm are responsive, professional, and "know their stuff". He will quickly, honestly, and accurately tell you your case's chances of success, and lives up to his motto of "superior service".
