Jay is a great attorney and extremely knowledgeable about the law.
When I walked into a courtroom for the first time as an attorney, I was privileged to have Mr. Rooth by my side as a trial partner. We were working at the State Attorney's Office and I was able to witness Mr. Rooth's excellence in the courtroom first-hand. I am lucky to have learned a lot about the law from Mr. Rooth.
