People don't often seek the assistance of a trial attorney when everything is going well. I understand that; I take my job and corresponding responsibilities seriously. When I'm not working, I enjoy running, swimming, bicycling, reading, learning more about the world's many cultures, and spending time with my family.

I endorse this lawyer.

John is an attorney who takes the phrase "client's best interest" to a new level. He zealously advocates for his clients while remaining professional and genuine with other attorneys. I have since moved to Houston so John is the first attorney that comes to mind when people ask me for a trusted attorney in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Holly Friedman, Litigation Attorney on Apr 13, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
John is a fierce advocate for his clients. His knowledge of the law and the legal process makes him stand out above the rest. I highly endorse this lawyer and would not hestiate to refer one of my own clients to him.
Janelle Davis, Litigation Attorney on May 17, 2011
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. I had the pleasure of working with John on several litigation matters. He is an excellent lawyer who is dedicated to providing the highest quality of legal services to his clients in the most efficient way possible. Also, I often sought John's advice on matters that I was handling on my own, and I always found his advice to be beneficial.
Blake Riordan, Litigation Attorney on Mar 15, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
A personable attorney with great experience and the ability to find creative solutions to legal problems.
Brendan Lowrey, Litigation Attorney on Mar 11, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
John and I worked together at the same firm for about 6 years, but in different practice groups. Whenever I asked for John for help or advice on a litigation related matter, he always provided prudent and practical advice and information. Maybe the best endorsement I can give is that when I had a close friend that needed a good attorney for a construction litigation matter, I referred him to John without any hesitation or reservation.

Mr. Roper is a dedicated and hard-working attorney. He has a solid knowledge of the areas of law in which he practices. Not only would not hesitate to refer potential clients to him, but I would not hesitate to hire him myself if I was in need of a litigating attorney.
Dylan Drummond, Litigation Attorney on Mar 7, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
John is both an experienced and highly-skilled litigator whom I would highly recommend to anyone needing superior legal representation in North Texas. From his days as an ADA at the Dallas County District Attorney's office to his invaluable experience at one of the state's most prestigious law firms, John has amassed a wealth of legal knowledge and skill that will no doubt be a huge asset to any client needing litigation counseling and representation.
Mandi Akens, Commercial real estate Attorney on Mar 1, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I happily and whole heartedly endorse John Roper. I worked with John at another local firm for many years and can attest to his strong work ethic, passion for helping others, and devotion to his craft. John is not just a smart, dedicated attorney, he is also a thoughtful, compassionate person who truly delights in being of service.
Jason Kipness, Construction and development Attorney on Feb 28, 2011
