Excellent Business Attorney

I contacted Attorney Roth a while back about a business matter. My wife and I were buying a business, and weren't sure what we needed. He helped us through the process step by step and made sure our interests were protected. We couldn't be happier, and will definitely be using him again in the future...!

My life saver

I had some really confusing contracts and he helped me to understand them and make an educated decision on how to move forward. Plus he help me draft a letter that was able to get me out of these contracts successful. Thank you for all the education and support

"Steven Roth is a very hard working attorney that has one goal and that is to make sure that he does the job right and that his client is fully satisfied. I highly recommend him for anyone that doesn't want to deal with a big firm and wants to develop a relationship directly with an attorney so that you know what you are getting and will have no surprises. Steven is dedicated to establishing a meaningful relationship from the very beginning and what more can you want from your attorney! He also has the added benefit of also having a masters degree in Business from Case Western Reserve University. You can't go wrong with Attorney Roth"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
