Biography

Roy DeCaro has tried more than 200 jury trials to verdict during his legal career, first as a prosecutor and now as a civil attorney. He has achieved on behalf of his clients over a dozen verdicts in excess of $1,000,000.00, and two verdicts in excess of $10,000,000.00. So, it is little surprise that Best Lawyers® recognized Mr. DeCaro in 2018 as the “Best Personal Injury Lawyer of the Year” for Philadelphia.

Roy has been selected to the Super Lawyers Top 100 list for over 20 years and has been selected to the Top 10 Super Lawyers in Pennsylvania list on two occasions. He was named by “Lawdragon” Magazine as one of the 500 best lawyers in the United States. Roy has regularly been selected by his peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America© – twice named as best Philadelphia civil plaintiff lawyer.

As a prosecutor, he persuaded juries to convict murderers, drug dealers, motorcycle gang members, organized crime figures, corrupt police officers and corrupt public officials. As a civil trial lawyer, Roy has represented those who have been seriously injured or killed by others’ negligence, including those injured due to medical error, unsafe products, and negligent drivers. These cases have contributed to improve safety measures in America.

He often asked to mediate and arbitrate cases by plaintiff and defense lawyers. During the Covid-19 pandemic, he has been conducting these mediations and arbitration using Zoom. He has been called upon to serve on blue-ribbon panels including panels to recommend institutional changes in the Philadelphia Police Department and the Philadelphia Criminal Court System. He has been an Adjunct Law Professor at Villanova Law School teaching Evidence four times. He was the 2018 and 2019 President of the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers’ Club – an organization that aids lawyer in distress and promotes civility. He does extensive pro bono work.

Roy is a member of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, the American College of Trial Lawyers and the American Board of Trial Advocates.

In his free time, he loves to hunt, fish, garden and spend time with his family – especially his two grandsons.
