Attorney Information
Overview
For his entire legal career, John A. Roberts has represented the interests of those harmed by the wrongful acts of others. Whether physically injured or financially injured or both, John has devoted himself to helping those in need of help at some of the most difficult times in their lives.
After receiving his undergraduate degree from UCLA, John worked as a teacher with the Los Angeles Unified School District and as a police dispatcher with the UCLA Police Department before obtaining his law degree at Pepperdine University in 1996. At the end of his second year of law school, he started clerking for the well-known plaintiffs’ law firm, Girardi & Keese where he formed his passion for representing the interests of the Davids of the world against the Goliath corporations and insurance companies within the legal system.
On a personal note, John enjoys spending time with his family and friends, and playing and watching sports.

After passing the bar and becoming licensed in California, John became a member of a prominent Plaintiffs personal injury firm where he developed his skills as a litigator and trial lawyer.
