Roger E. Booth

Attorney Bio

In a legal career spanning more than 20 years, Roger Booth has handled many large, complex cases throughout California and other parts of the United States. Since 1997, he has focused on obtaining justice for people who have suffered catastrophic injuries or the loss of a loved one.

Mr. Booth graduated with honors from Pomona College in 1987. During his senior year, he spent a semester studying at Oxford University in England. He went on to attend Boalt Hall School of Law at the University of California – Berkeley, graduating in 1991. Mr. Booth then went to work as an attorney at Pillsbury, Madison & Sutro (then the largest law firm in California), where he handled a variety of large, complex business litigation and insurance bad faith matters for over five years.

In 1997, Mr. Booth joined his father, Larry Booth, at Booth & Koskoff and quickly made his mark as a plaintiff’s attorney. In 1998, in just his second personal injury trial, he (along with Richard Koskoff) obtained a $1.6 million verdict in Orange County, setting a record for a hand injury case in that courthouse. Since then, Mr. Booth has handled more than 20 cases that have resulted in verdicts or settlement in excess of $1,000,000. The firm as a whole has achieved more than 70 million-dollar or multi-million-dollar results.

In 2012, Mr. Booth obtained a $4 million jury verdict against the County of San Diego in a wrongful death case in which the County had offered only $100,000 in settlement before trial. Just five months later, he obtained a $5 million settlement on behalf of a man who had suffered a brain injury after being struck by a truck while riding his bicycle.

Every year since 2009, Mr. Booth has been named a “Super Lawyer,” an honor limited to the top 5% of attorneys in Southern California.

Mr. Booth is the co-author (along with Larry Booth) of Personal Injury Handbook, a practice guide published by James Publishing.
