Rebecca Roe - Attorney. Schroeter Goldmark and Bender - Seattle Lawyer

Becky Roe has been a tenacious trial attorney for more than 35 years. Born and raised in Seattle, she graduated from Nathan Hale High School, University of Washington and Seattle University law school. Becky went directly from law school to the King County Prosecutors Office when she co-founded the Special Assault Unit in 1979. This unit was one of the first in the nation to specially focus on the prosecution of sexual assault, child abuse, domestic violence and homicide. During these years, Becky was a member of several committees and task forces addressing issues of abuse recovery and sentencing. She volunteered extensively with community organizations addressing these same issues.

After leaving the Prosecutors Office in 1994, Becky has continued her work in private practice representing crime victims against individual perpetrators, the State (primarily the Department of Social and Health Services and the Department of Corrections), churches, schools, and other organizations that fail to protect children in their care. She represents many victims of crime as well as people injured in accidents or otherwise harmed by the negligence of others. Becky has always been a leader among lawyers in her specialty area. In 1986, she co-authored the first nationwide manual for the prosecution of child abuse; an updated edition is still in use in many prosecutors’ offices throughout the United States. Wage and Hour Class Actions and Employment Discrimination are other areas of Becky’s practice. She has been lead trial lawyer in Class Action cases against Taco Bell, Walmart, and similar establishments in Washington and Oregon. Becky’s individual employment cases primarily focus on gender and age discrimination.
