Jim Roth was raised in Atlanta. After receiving his bachelor’s degree with honors, he worked for a year in public service. Inspired to serve the interests of the people, he enrolled at the Cumberland School of Law at Samford University in Birmingham, Ala. While attending law school, Jim was active in the trial competition team, an organization ranked in the top tier of competitive court programs across the country. He participated in several mock trial competitions and won the Judge James O. Haley trial competition, the most prestigious of its kind in the program.

After graduating with his Juris Doctorate, Jim began his career as an in-house trial attorney for State Farm Insurance. His cases ranged from personal injury automobile accidents to multi-defendant liability litigation cases. Other major insurance carriers with which he has had experience include Allstate, Progressive, GEICO, Zurich, Farmers, and U.S.A.A.

The Roth Firm was opened in September 2006 to focus solely on representing individuals harmed by the negligence of others. Jim has represented clients injured as the result of automobile, motorcycle and tractor-trailer accidents, and he has handled complex litigation representing those exposed to unsafe working conditions resulting in catastrophic injury and death.

Jim participates at all levels of local and national bar organizations and other law-related community activities including the Atlanta Bar Association, Georgia Trial Lawyers Association and the Georgia Personal Injury Association. Jim was recently named a 2013 Rising Star in the Georgia Super Lawyers periodical.

In addition to his professional representation, Jim has lectured and presented seminars on complex discovery, witness interviews, case preparation, computerized research and various other topics.
Jim’s practice focuses on serious automobile, complex trucking and common carrier accidents, wrongful death, slip and fall, and commercial litigation.

Customer Reviews

Jim Roth is one in a million–literally; he handled my claim after I was rear-ended. It took a while, because I continued to get medical care for up to a 1-3/4s year after filing, due to the physical damage from the accident. He fulfilled all his promises, worked hard on my case and I received extra compensation, more than I expected due to his superior knowledge of the law. Jim knows his stuff. As a layperson its hard to understand these types of legal matters, but from my experience working with him, I have implicit trust in him and what he can do (which is saying a lot). He’s smart, driven, honorable, positive, knows what he is doing and a true ally with the law. He also has a unique ability of empathizing with his clients, (which is unusual for an attorney) to take the stress out of the process, because you know he’s in control, he has a plan and that all will be o.k.

I sure am glad I had Jim Roth, the other attorneys, and The Roth Firm on my side. My advice: Don’t use a large impersonal ‘mill firm’ that will not know your name or try and do it yourself. Do yourself a favor and contact THE ROTH FIRM. You will be glad you did.

My wife and I chose The Roth Firm to represent us after I was hit by a tractor-trailer. Jim and particularly his associate, Michael Melonakos, did a fantastic job representing us. Ours was a complex, lengthy case against a very difficult insurance company yet we ended up getting a settlement that was light years beyond what they had offered. The entire time they represented us, the firm kept us well-informed of the case’s status, were well prepared, and on top of things. We always felt that we were valued clients and were treated with the utmost respect and compassion. We highly recommend The Roth Firm and could not have been more pleased with Jim and Michael.

When I first hired Jim of THE ROTH FIRM, I was concerned that he might be a little young for a very serious injury case. Boy, was I wrong. He was more experienced than almost any other lawyer I interviewed. Also, he was professional, hard working, smart, reliable, and most of all got JUSTICE for my case. If you are considering him for your lawyer you need to pull the trigger and pick him. I was VERY impressed!

I was in a bad accident this year and Mr. Roth personally handled my case. He is very knowledgeable and really knows how to handle the insurance companies. He even assisted with my property damage claim when my insurance company was being difficult. I would highly recommend his firm!

Jim has developed an enviable reputation as an aggressive & reputable attorney. He makes the extra effort to offer his clients personalized services, something that is not always possible at other firms. Jim is “AV Rated” by Martindale-Hubbell — the highest possible distinction for his field — and has been named as a “Rising Star/Georgia Super Lawyer” for the past four years.

Excellent Attorney. Trustworthy, Honest and dedicated. I received an exceptional settlement from being injured in a car accident. Jim Roth worked hard, and knew what he was doing, along with caring about me personally. I would refer anyone to him and his firm. Can’t say enough great things about Jim, he is the real deal and takes his clients and work seriously for positive outcomes.

I had a great experience with both the lawyers and staff of the Roth firm. I had a small case and did not expect a large settlement but they made sure to communicate with me throughout the entire process and I ended up with far more than I ever expected. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone.

He is the best! I would hire him again and he will be the only PI attorney I will refer to. He’s that good.
