About Roth Bacon Moon

A Respected Third-Generation Wealth Planning Firm Serving Ohio and Florida

The firm was founded in 1952, when Harold Roth enlisted his brother-in-law through marriage, Forrest Bacon, to serve as partners. During this time, it was not uncommon to serve also in a public capacity. Harold did so as the County Prosecutor and, during his four-year stint, presided over the infamous Red Slipper murder case. Forrest Bacon succeeded him and served as Prosecutor for 28 years thereafter.
In 1972, Harold’s son, Jeffrey Roth, joined the family firm and brought with him Florida licensure. Forrest’s son, David Bacon, joined in 1977. Other family members and colleagues have come and gone over the years, including Kenneth Young, now CEO of United Church Homes, and Jonathan Miller, deceased, who also held the office of Wyandot County Prosecutor.

In 2010, David’s daughter, Jessica Moon, joined the firm, establishing the third generation of family attorneys at Roth & Bacon. Recognizing the importance of serving clients who live in both Ohio and Florida, Jessica sat for and passed the Florida Bar, later inspiring her father to return and earn his Florida licensure 33 years after passing the Ohio Bar. In 2018, Jessica was made a partner, and the firm officially became Roth Bacon Moon.

Today, Roth Bacon Moon Attorneys continues its multi-generational tradition of trusted legal counsel while focusing heavily on helping individuals, families, farmers, and business owners plan for the future. The firm assists clients with comprehensive estate planning, including wills, trusts, advanced directives, and powers of attorney.
