About Roger Victor Archibald, PLLC

A Part of Brooklyn. The Heart of Brooklyn.

Brooklyn wakes early. The storefront gates lift, coffee carts hiss, and stoops fill with neighbors swapping news before the day begins. For us, those everyday moments are more than scenery—they’re the reason we practice law. Roger Victor Archibald, PLLC was founded on a simple belief: when someone’s rights are threatened, they deserve counsel that knows the streets they walk, the language they speak, and the community they love. A Part of Brooklyn. The Heart of Brooklyn. It's more than a tagline; it’s how we show up for people, case after case.

Our Story, Simply Told

Our firm began with a clear purpose: to give clients a steady hand when life becomes complicated. Over the years, we’ve grown alongside the borough and the city—meeting clients where they are, listening closely, and building strategies that blend care with conviction. We have represented New Yorkers across boroughs and backgrounds, including families, workers, students, small business owners, and community leaders. No two matters are the same, but our approach never wavers: respect first, preparation always, and unwavering advocacy from start to finish.

What It Feels Like To Work With Us

Clients often come to us at stressful moments—after an arrest, an accident, a hospital error, a workplace slight that cuts deep, or a civil rights violation that should never have happened. We make space for the whole story, not just the paperwork. We explain what the law can and cannot do, outline the path ahead in plain language, and build a plan that matches your goals. You’ll know where your case stands, why each step matters, and what comes next. We believe dignity and clarity are not extras; they’re part of the service.

Guiding Principles

• Community-Rooted: We practice with Brooklyn’s resilience—direct, determined, and deeply connected to the people we serve.
• Client-Centered: Your priorities guide our strategy. We calibrate risk and action to align with your life, not the other way around.
• Thorough & Prepared: Careful investigation, clear writing, and courtroom-ready advocacy underpin everything we do.
• Culturally Fluent: New York is global. We honor that in how we listen, communicate, and advocate.
• Integrity Over Everything: We say what we mean, do what we promise, and measure success by both results and respect.

Areas Of Focus

We represent clients in matters that profoundly affect daily life and long-term stability, including:

• Criminal Defense: Safeguarding constitutional rights and mounting strategic defenses at every stage.
• Civil Rights & Police Misconduct: Seeking accountability when authority crosses lawful lines.
• Employment Discrimination: Confronting unlawful bias and retaliation to protect careers and livelihoods.
• Medical Malpractice: Pursuing justice when preventable medical harm changes a family’s future.

How We Work, Step By Step

1. Listen & Orient: We start by understanding your story and goals, then outline options in plain terms.
2. Investigate & Analyze: We gather records, speak with witnesses, and assess the strengths and vulnerabilities of each route forward.
3. Strategize & Prepare: We tailor a plan—whether negotiation, motion practice, or trial—and prepare meticulously for the forum we’ll face.
4. Advocate & Adjust: We advance your case with steady advocacy, communicating updates and refining tactics as facts and priorities evolve.
5. Resolve & Support: When your matter concludes, we leave you with closure, clear documentation, and next-step guidance.
