Biographical Information
Roger Booth graduated cum laude from Pomona College with a degree in English literature in 1997 and graduated from law school at the University of California, Berkeley in 1991. He then spent six years working as a litigation attorney at Pillsbury Madison & Sutro in San Francisco, which was then the largest law firm in California. At the Pillsbury firm, Mr. Booth played a significant role in several major trials and focused on representing policyholders in insurance bad faith cases.
