About Steven Howard
Steven Howard Roth is a lawyer whose training spans both law and finance, combining academic breadth with a practical approach. He completed undergraduate studies in sociology at Case Western Reserve University. He remained at Case Western for law school, earning his J.D., and later added an MBA in banking and finance from the same university. That combination of social science, law and business shapes how he assesses problems and advises clients.
After finishing his studies, Roth entered private practice in Ohio. His background in banking and finance informed early work on transactions and regulatory questions. Colleagues describe him as methodical and exacting in analysis. He has maintained steady involvement in matters that touch both corporate and individual interests, drawing on his mixed academic training rather than on a single specialty.
Roth is admitted to the bar in Ohio. He maintains current memberships in professional associations and participates in the routines that sustain a private practice, including bar activities and continuing legal education. He has spent his career in roles that require both courtroom readiness and transactional discipline, often switching between drafting documents and preparing for hearings.
At the firm level, Roth practices through Roth Firm, LLC. The firm reflects his preference for a practice structure that lets him advise clients directly while supervising case preparation. He has worked with a range of clients, from small businesses to private individuals. His work has involved contract matters, compliance questions and litigation preparation, though he balances those tasks according to client need rather than by a single genre of law.
Outside client work, Roth draws on his MBA when approaching financial aspects of a case. He reads financial statements and loan documents with the same attention he gives pleadings and briefs. That combination can change how disputes are framed and how settlements are negotiated. It also affects how he explains options to clients, translating technical points into plain terms.
He lives and practices in Ohio and continues to build a practice around direct client representation and problem-solving. He now practices at Roth Firm, LLC in Ohio, where his practice handles matters for individuals and businesses.
