Gramme's Baby

Thank you, John Roach, for your assistance in getting me the most in my settlement case. I was in a car accident, and Mr. Roach did all the navigating to make sure I didn't have to worry about all the legal work. All I had to do was focus on my recovery. I appreciate your business.

Me ayudo con mi caso fue el megor abojado que tuve porque los abogados anteriores no me ayudaron como yo esperaba. 🙏🏻

Karen Gabrielson

I have known John Roach, Esq. for a few years. He recently assisted my attorney with a complex personal injury case. I am honored to write this review and to recommend him. There were numerous depositions in my case that required careful handling. John did an excellent job and contributed much in handling these for my attorney when schedules conflicted. It was truly a balancing act to obtain facts from highly specialized professionals who are very clear on their specility, but did not always see or grasp the legal vs what is medically correct. In short, the legal is viewed through the lenses of the medical. John was absolutely excellent in staying on point when conducting these depositions. And when things strayed off, he brought them right back to Front and Center. With careful attention to detail, John was able to extract facts and opinions needed for the case. John’s attention to detail is phenomenal. He was able to take on, often on short notice, depositions needed to prepare in case for trial. In my interaction with John, I was impressed by his calm demeanor and ability to ferret out succinctly exactly what was needed to move the case along. I was very happy he was on my team! My case had a good outcome which I certainly attributed to John Roach’s ability to get the results and to move case along. I am highly appreciative of John Roach, Esq. and would not hesitate to recommend him. Sincerely, Karen Gabrielson

Identifying a good personal injury lawyer can be difficult. I wanted to encourage anyone in that process to consider attorney John Roach. Importantly he will make it easy for you right from the beginning. He answers the phone! Himself! (Don't be discouraged if you can't reach him immediately, though. Be persistent. It's worth it.) He listens carefully to your situation and asks pointed questions to get at the heart of what might be required specific to your case. Even though it was just a consultation, he took the time to consider how to get important answers regarding aspects many lawyers never bring up until it is too late to do anything about it. Thorough, kind and with a sense of humor, he seems to genuinely enjoy practicing law, but more importantly, he brings integrity to that practice through transparency and thoughtfully applied experience. Unfortunately, I was unable to hire Mr Roach because I was already trapped in a disputed settlement by a lawyer I had trusted naively. But this harsh experience means that I know what I am talking about now. If you are at the beginning of your search, consider starting with Mr Roach. After just one consultation with him I came away with important insights into my case, resources, and most importantly a renewed faith in the law and what the client attorney relationship can potentially be.

I've had the privilege of working with John Roach as co-counsel on several personal injury cases, and I refer clients to him without hesitation. John is the rare solo practitioner who combines the personal attention of a one-attorney office with the skill and tenacity you'd expect from a much larger firm. He knows San Francisco courts, he prepares thoroughly, and he fights hard for his clients — while always being a true professional and collaborative partner. The outcomes we've achieved together speak for themselves. If you or someone you know has been injured and needs an attorney who will personally handle your case from intake to resolution, John is the real deal.

“Way more money than I thought”

“John Roach represented me when I had to fight with an insurance company to get paid for an injury I received when I slipped at a hotel. I broke my left leg day 1 of our vacation. With 5 kids including a newborn, pandemic and summer time, it really disrupted my life. John got me way more money than I thought, and he made the process easy for me. He was easy to communicate with, and always treated me with respect and seemed to really care about what I had been through. I am so grateful someone recommended him.”

“Astonishing timeframe”

“John was a tremendous help and excellent attorney. He was able to fight for the best case scenario within an astonishing timeframe — took roughly 3 months; others estimated 6–9. Additionally, he not only cares about maximizing your case, but you as a person, allowing you to prioritize your health while he handles the legal work. If ever required to hire another attorney of this discipline, John would be my obvious choice.”
