“I can attest to Roger’s abilities to get to the heart of complex energy and environmental policy issues, to identify workable solutions that optimize the results for his clients, and to communicate clearly, persuading other stakeholders to adopt them.”
John Jimison, Esq., formerly Managing Director, Energy Future Coalition
“I worked closely with Roger in support of his successful creation of the Montgomery County Green Bank. His creativity, ingenuity, and perspicacity was necessary and demonstrated in full in that effort.”
Reed Hundt, CEO, Coalition for Green Capital
“Roger is the rare sort of leader who combines proved people skills with deep legal experience and a passion for both progress and fairness.”
Mike Tidwell, Director, Chesapeake Climate Action Network
“Roger’s range of experience in public service as an elected official in Montgomery County, his staff roles at critical California Assembly and federal legislative positions, and his private practice specifically in energy law, give him a unique perspective to provide critical leadership in advancing progressive energy and environmental policies at the local, state, or Federal level.”
Jared Blum, Board Chair, Environmental and Energy Study Institute
Roger’s understanding of the legal, policy and political aspects of utility regulation is second to none. His environmental record is stellar, which is critically important as the electric industry transitions to cleaner sources of power to mitigate climate change. He is pro-consumer, as evidenced by his fight against Enron when it manipulated the natural gas and electricity markets at great cost to the consumers of California and the broader West. He is also a forward-thinking utility reformer, as his published articles on Utility 2.0 and Performance-Based Ratemaking demonstrate.”
Mike Florio, formerly Commissioner, California Public Utilities Commission
“It is an old truism in the legal profession that you can really take the measure of another lawyer’s character when that lawyer has been your opponent in litigation. I emerged from the experience of litigating against Roger Berliner – in a high-stakes, hard-fought case – with a very high regard for Roger. He is a principled and capable advocate, but he is also an eminently pragmatic person, who looks for creative, mutually beneficial solutions to difficult problems.”
Frank Lindh, Esq., formerly General Counsel, California Public Utilities Commission
