Our Attorney at the Roth Firm in Atlanta was Richard Bentley and he and his Paralegals were excellent from the start of the case until it concluded. They did a fine job of educating me on the entire litigation process. I highly recommend the Roth Firm.

My experience with the Roth Firm was truly stellar. The Roth Firm worked seamlessly with my Medical Provider and neither ever "dropped the ball" while handling my case. I received courtesy status calls from the firm (without even asking). The customer service was excellent and the entire process wa...
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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. He combines a tenacious dedication to his clients with a high level of professionalism and skill. He has developed a particular expertise in litigating motor vehicle collisions, which serves his clients well."
"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."
"Jim is a superb attorney. He is extremely bright and trustworthy. I would recommend Jim to anyone involved in a wrongful death matter. He is the best!"
"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."
"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"."
