053: Jeff Roberts of The Roberts Law Firm discusses putting the personal in personal injury.

What makes a Lawpreneur? Join us as Jeff Roberts, The Roberts Law Firm’s founding member and current managing attorney, shares his Lawpreneurial journey.

Jeff obtained his B.A. cum laude from the University of California, Riverside, and went on to graduate with honors from the University of Miami School of Law, one of the top law schools in the nation.  After graduation, Jeff returned to Orange County where he joined a large law firm, practicing in the areas of personal injury law and business litigation. In 1998, Jeff founded The Roberts Law Firm because he desired to serve a broader range of clients and protect the rights of people victimized by corporations.

Married with two kids, he has been practicing law for 17 years,  now working exclusively with personal injury cases. He was selected as a Super Lawyer for 2014 by SuperLawyers.com.
