ABOUT THE SPEAKER

• Roger Handberg brings over two decades of frontline prosecutorial and litigation experience to GrayRobinson’s criminal and white-collar defense practice. As the former United States Attorney for the Middle District of Florida, one of the largest and most active federal jurisdictions in the country, Roger led the office through a period of historic enforcement activity, supervising complex criminal, civil, and national security matters that generated billions in recoveries and touched nearly every corner of federal law. As U.S. Attorney, Roger directed an office of more than 120 attorneys and oversaw a 60% increase in criminal filings.

• Recognized for his prosecutorial precision and strategic command of high-stakes litigation, Roger has earned a national reputation for successfully managing major financial crime, public corruption, and regulatory enforcement cases. His DOJ insights and courtroom credibility make him a powerful ally to clients facing parallel civil, criminal, and reputational risks.
• Roger now represents corporations, financial institutions, boards, and senior executives confronting government investigations, enforcement actions, and enterprise-threatening allegations. He helps clients preempt exposure, mitigate liability, and protect their interests across forums, leveraging his knowledge of DOJ charging strategies, investigative priorities, and trial tactics to deliver strong outcomes.
• Prior to serving as U.S. Attorney, Roger held senior posts within the DOJ and the Florida Attorney General’s Office, including Criminal Chief, Chief of the Orlando Division, Senior Litigation Counsel, and Senior Assistant Attorney General. This deep institutional experience informs his pragmatic, proactive approach to client defense and crisis response.
