Douglas Rohan is the founder of Rohan Law P.C. located in Atlanta, Georgia, where he concentrates his practice on workers' compensation, criminal defense, personal injury and DUI matters. With over two decades of legal experience since his admission to the Georgia State Bar in 2000, he brings a unique perspective to his work, having spent his early career defending insurance companies before transitioning to plaintiff representation. This background enables him to anticipate defense strategies and better protect his clients' interests.
Throughout his career, Mr. Rohan has successfully handled thousands of cases across multiple practice areas, securing significant settlements and favorable outcomes for injured workers and accident victims. He has obtained substantial recoveries in workers' compensation claims, including settlements exceeding one million dollars, and has achieved successful case dismissals and charge reductions in criminal matters. His fluency in Spanish allows him to serve Georgia's Hispanic community effectively, and he has become a recognized voice on legal issues affecting this population through his work as a legal analyst for Telemundo Atlanta, Cafe CNN, and Mundo Hispanico.
Mr. Rohan earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature from Florida State University in 1996, followed by his Juris Doctor from Florida State University College of Law. He is admitted to practice in Georgia state courts and the Federal Courts in the Northern District of Georgia. His professional journey includes positions at Drew Eckl & Farnham, Moore Ingram Johnson & Steele, and Castan & Lecca before establishing his own firm in 2011.
Mr. Rohan has been widely recognized for his service to the legal profession and the community, including selection to the Super Lawyers list from 2020 to 2023, and again in 2026 to 2027. He was named one of the 50 Most Influential Latinos in Georgia by the Georgia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in 2019 and 2020, and his firm was ranked 135th among the Top 500 Fastest Growing Law Firms in America by LawFirm500 in 2020.
Currently on the Executive Committee of the Georgia Injured Workers' Advocates, Mr. Rohan maintains active membership in the Georgia Hispanic Bar Association, Georgia Trial Lawyers Association, the Gwinnett County Bar Association and the Cobb County Bar Association.
