Roth Law
Attorney Michael D. Roth

The attorney

Michael D. Roth

A former judge who returned to practice, Michael Roth brings a perspective most trial lawyers never earn: he has decided cases from the bench and tried more than 2,000 of them at the bar.

Background & credentials

  • Former Pro-Tem Judge, City of Goodyear (1998–2000)
  • Former Arizona Board-Certified Specialist in Criminal Law (15 years)
  • 33+ years in good standing with the Arizona bar; 2,000+ cases
  • Admitted to the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona since 1993

That combination — time on the bench, decades in trial, and board-certified command of the law — is what Roth Law brings to civil litigation, cannabis matters, behavioral-health and AZDHS representation, and personal injury alike.

Beyond the courtroom

Michael founded Safe Harbor LLC, an Arizona ignition-interlock provider, and holds a 2011 U.S. patent related to interlock data chain-of-custody — a rare depth of hands-on knowledge in a field most attorneys only argue about.
