For Boston Attorney Jennifer Roman, clarifying legal issues for the rest of us has become second nature in her role as a contributing legal analyst for WBZ-TV Channel 4 News.

A former Assistant District Attorney in the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office, Roman is currently an associate in the Litigation Group of Tarlow, Breed, Hart & Rodgers, P.C. of Boston, MA, a combination that provides her with in depth perspective from both sides of the courtroom. During her tenure in the District Attorney’s office, Roman prosecuted major felony cases and successfully argued cases before both the Supreme Judicial Court and the Appeals Court. Her ongoing courtroom experience has served her well in providing on camera commentary illuminating many hot button legal issues for the public.

Most recently, Roman commented on the Roger Clemens investigation, requested by the US House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and what Clemens might expect if convicted of perjury charges. A Boston Magazine 2007 “Massachusetts Rising Star,” Roman has also opined on the air about the State Police Crime Lab, the Christa Worthington trial, and the Rhode Island Station Nightclub owner’s plea deal.

While an associate at Tarlow, Breed, Hart & Rodgers, P.C., Roman also presented on “The New Electric Discovery Rules/Developments and Hidden Dangers” at the Massachusetts Bar Association Fourth Annual In-House Counsel Conference.

A cum laude graduate of Muhlenberg College, Roman received her J.D. cum laude from Suffolk University Law School. Roman is a member of the New York Bar and the Massachusetts Bar, as well a member of the Massachusetts Bar Association and the Women’s Bar Association. She has also served as a committee member of Race For The Cure and as a volunteer for the Literacy Volunteers of Massachusetts, Inc.

Roman is a resident of Boston, MA.
