In a legal career spanning almost 20 years, Roger Booth has handled many large, complex cases, representing both plaintiffs and defendants, and both individuals and corporations, throughout California and the United States. Since 1997, he has focused on representing people who have suffered catastrophic injuries or the loss of a loved one.. Mr. Booth graduated with honors from Pomona College in 1987. He spent a semester during his senior year of college studying at Oxford University in England. He went on to attend Boalt Hall School of Law at the University of California - Berkeley, graduating in 1991. Mr. Booth then went on to work as an attorney at Pillsbury, Madison & Sutro (then the largest law firm in California) in San Francisco, where he handled a variety of large, complex business litigation and insurance bad faith matters. During his time at the Pillsbury firm, Mr. Booth took a leave of absence to work at the San Francisco Public Defender’s office, where he gained valuable jury trial experience representing criminal defendants.. In 1997, Mr. Booth joined his father, Larry Booth, at Booth & Koskoff and quickly made his mark as a plaintiff’s attorney. In 1998, in just his second personal injury trial, he (along with Richard Koskoff) obtained a $1.6 million verdict in Orange County, setting a record for a hand injury case in that courthouse. That result generated a great deal of attention in the legal press. [Article PDF] Since then, Mr. Booth has handled more than 20 cases that have resulted in verdicts or settlement in excess of $1,000,000. Beggining in 2009, he has been named a “Super Lawyer”  every year, an honor limited to the top 5% of attorneys in Southern California.

Born and raised in Palmdale, California, Ms. Sanchez attended the University of Southern California, graduating with honors, with a Bachelor of Arts in English, in 2010.

Anxious to start her legal career as soon as possible, Ms. Sanchez entered Southwestern Law School's rigorous accelerated SCALE program, in which students complete three years of law school courses in just two years. In addition to her regular course load, she was a member of the Trial Advocacy Honors Program and worked as an extern at the L.A. County District Attorney's office, gaining valuable courtroom experience. Ms. Sanchez received the very highest grade in six of her courses and graduated magna cum laude in 2014.. Ms. Sanchez re-joined Booth & Koskoff, as an attorney, right after law school.

In addition to handling her own caseload, she has played a key role in a number of cases that have resulted in seven-figure settlements, including cases involving sexual abuse, products liability and police negligence.. Ms. Sanchez has developed a particular expertise in cases involving the sexual and physical abuse of children in foster care or other dependency situations.
