Law school was a natural and logical path for Jeff Roth to follow in the footsteps of his late father, Fred Roth, who was beloved of friend and stranger for the largess of his personality and soundness of his counsel.  After graduating St. Louis School of Law, Jeff joined his father’s practice and for the next sixteen years, the father-son duo successfully prosecuted numerous complex cases spanning product liability, medical malpractice, workers’ compensation, personal injury, and wrongful death.

 

Following Fred Roth’s sudden and untimely passing in 2001, Jeff focused his practice strictly on workers’ compensation and personal injury.  In doing so, he proudly carried on his father’s legacy of providing competent, confident, and compassionate representation of his clients.  Moreover, Jeff’s experience and skill have made him a trusted “lawyers’ lawyer,” with attorneys across the region regularly seeking his guidance on novel or intricate fact patterns and issues in workers’ compensation matters.  Being Of Counsel, Jeff’s vast experience and seasoned perspective on workers’ compensation law are invaluable to Vaneff Law and a tremendous benefit to its clients.

 

Beyond his legal practice, Jeff’s deepest personal and professional passions intersect in his advocacy for families raising children with disabilities, particularly autism.  Born out of his own family’s struggles, Jeff has spent more than three decades helping families across the nation navigate the daunting legal, administrative, regulatory, and medical hurdles associated with special needs care.

 

In his personal life, Jeff is also an accomplished and widely recognized matchmaker across the United States and Canada, having proudly played Cupid for countless happy Jewish families.
