Orlando, Fla. — Roger B. Handberg, former U.S. Attorney for Central Florida, has joined GrayRobinson as a shareholder in the firm’s Orlando office, marking a notable shift in his professional journey. His appointment comes after his tenure as U.S. Attorney, which ended on February 17.
Handberg was initially appointed to this federal role by Attorney General Merrick Garland on December 27, 2021, starting as an interim U.S. Attorney. In May 2022, he received a reappointment from the judges of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, underscoring the confidence placed in his abilities.
Throughout his career, Handberg has held significant positions within both the U.S. Department of Justice and the Florida Attorney General’s Office. He is recognized for successfully prosecuting fraud cases exceeding $500 million, a testament to his extensive courtroom experience and legal acumen.
The transition to GrayRobinson, a prominent law firm ranked as the fourth largest in Central Florida, allows Handberg to leverage his skills in fraud litigation within a new setting. His industry knowledge and proven track record are expected to add substantial value to the firm.
Experts have speculated that Handberg’s departure from the U.S. Attorney’s office may have been influenced by political considerations, although the details behind his exit remain unclear. Nonetheless, his move is anticipated to bring a wealth of expertise to GrayRobinson’s team.
Handberg’s shift into private practice signals a new chapter in his career, reinforcing the firm’s commitment to strong legal representation in Central Florida.
