About Roger Creager

Roger T. Creager is a personal injury attorney at Marks & Harrison. He has been practicing law since 1982 and has been involved with Marks & Harrison since 1997, when he joined the firm's Richmond office. He left in 2008 to start his own practice while continuing to serve as co-counsel and research/litigation consultant for Marks & Harrison through 2022, then rejoined the firm in 2023.

Creager is the only lawyer honored by the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association with both of its most prestigious awards: the Courageous Advocate Award and the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Creager earned his Juris Doctor with honors in 1982 from the University of Virginia School of Law, where he served on the Law Review, and his undergraduate degree in 1976 from the College of William & Mary. Earlier in his career, he worked at the National Legal Research Group in Charlottesville.
