Legal Services Law Firms in Oakland, CA

I am John J. Roach, founder of the Law Office of John J. Roach in San Francisco. I have represented injured victims throughout the Bay Area and Northern California with extensive trial experience since 2009, and I am completely bilingual in English and Spanish. My practice is exclusively plaintiff-side personal injury — including car accidents, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, Uber and Lyft accidents, wrongful death, and dog bite cases. I have recovered more than $25 million for injured clients in Northern California, including $6 million and $2.185 million in traumatic brain injury cases. I have taken nine personal injury cases to verdict and won all nine. As a true solo practitioner since 2015, I personally handle every case from initial consultation through resolution. There are no junior associates and no hand-offs — clients work directly with me at every stage. The initial consultation is completely free and confidential, and is available in both English and Spanish at no additional cost. I work on a contingency fee basis, which means clients pay no attorney fees unless I recover compensation. My office is located at 1388 Sutter Street, Suite 810, in San Francisco, and I serve clients throughout San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Daly City, and the broader Bay Area. Call (415) 851-4557 to schedule a free consultation directly with me.
