Who We Are

We are committed to serving our clients' interests with the utmost integrity and to providing skilled, diligent and effective legal representation by virtue of our experience, attention to detail and dedication.

Roper, Townsend & Sutphen, P.A. is a civil litigation law firm that was founded in 1996. Our attorneys have extensive trial and appellate experience in all federal and state courts throughout Florida. We are proud of our hard-earned reputation for zealous advocacy and for providing prompt, individualized attention to the legal needs of our valued clients. We endeavor to resolve disputes ethically and efficiently, by implementing innovative strategies designed to streamline litigation and contain legal expenses, while at the same time ensuring we do not compromise our ability to deliver only the highest quality of legal representation. Importantly, if the case cannot be resolved amicably, we have the requisite skill, knowledge, and experience to effectively present our client’s case at trial.

The firm serves as legal counsel for both private corporations and governmental clients, including national insurers and prominent self-insured companies. We offer a full range of legal services, covering a broad spectrum of civil litigation matters, including casualty and surety, automobile, commercial trucking, professional liability, products liability, employment, construction defect, premises liability, medical negligence, insurance coverage, and commercial transactions.

Our lawyers have substantial experience representing public entities in a variety of civil rights, law enforcement and land use matters, as well as administrative proceedings and other governmental claims. Our practice is primarily based in Central Florida, but we handle cases throughout Florida, and have served as counsel of record for clients in other states including Georgia and California.

We recognize the importance of promoting diversity and equal opportunity in the practice of law, as well as within our firm. We are committed to creating a diverse and tolerant culture in our firm which will reflect the diversity of our clients and the communities that we are privileged to serve.
