A Firm Where YOU Matter
Roger Ritchie, the founder and senior partner of the Ritchie Law Firm, grew up in the Shenandoah Valley and attended Broadway High School. After graduating from Broadway High School, he attended the University of Maryland where he received his bachelor of arts in history, graduating cum laude. Roger then returned to Rockingham County where he spent three years teaching in the Elkton school district and coaching JV football. Towards the end of those three years, he decided that he’d like to shift his career to focus on law.
In 1971, Roger attended the University of Maryland School of Law and received his law degree in 1975. After receiving his law degree, Roger returned to the Shenandoah Valley and began his law practice as a general practice attorney.

John has a special interest in representing individuals with disabilities and has sat on the board of the Rockingham County ARC.
Roger’s son, Michael Ritchie, is also a member of the firm and helps the injured and disabled navigate the complex legal system. Mike graduated from Spotswood High School and attended the University of Virginia for both undergraduate and law school. Upon completion of law school in 2002, Mike returned home to the community that had shaped him and began his law practice.
