Roger T. Creager

Roger received his undergraduate degree in 1976 from the College of William & Mary, and his law degree in 1982 from the University of Virginia School of Law where he served on the Law Review and graduated with honors. The Virginia Law Review published an extensive scholarly work which Roger wrote on an evidence law issue while in law school. After working at the National Legal Research Group in Charlottesville, Roger joined Marks & Harrison in 1997, and worked in our Richmond office until 2008 when he left to start his own law practice. From 2008 through 2022, Roger continued to collaborate with Marks & Harrison by serving as co-counsel and research/litigation consultant on some of Marks & Harrison’s cases. He also served as co-counsel and research litigation consultant with many other leading plaintiffs’ lawyers throughout Virginia. At the beginning of 2023 Roger rejoined Marks & Harrison. Among his many significant professional accomplishments and accolades, Roger is the only lawyer honored by the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association (VTLA) with its two most prestigious awards: the Courageous Advocate Award and the Lifetime Achievement Award. The Virginia Lawyers Weekly, the newspaper for Virginia lawyers, has twice honored Roger — in 2014 with its Leaders in the Law Award and in 2024 with its Hall of Fame Award. Roger has played important roles in all of Virginia’s statewide legal professional organizations. He was a member of the Virginia State Bar’s governing body (the Bar Council) for 3 years and its ethics committee for 5 years, has been a leading member of the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association since 1997, was an active member of the Boyd-Graves Conference for over a decade, and has served on the Litigation Section of the Virginia Bar Association. Throughout his career, Roger has published many articles and lectured on cutting-edge legal topics at legal seminars throughout the state.
