John J. Roe, III has been practicing law in Suffolk County for more than 35 years.  Estate Planning is the major focus of his practice and that expertise resulted in his recent appointment as Co-Chair of the Surrogate’s Court Committee of the Suffolk County Bar Association.  Mr. Roe is a partner at Roe, Taroff, Taitz & Portman, LLP which recently relocated to One Corporate Plaza, Bohemia, NY.

In addition to Estate Planning, Mr. Roe’s practice areas include real estate and corporate matters.  The needs and goals of his clients are his primary concern whether he is handling a simple real estate deal or a more complex corporate reorganization.
