JOHN J.
ROCHE
JOHN J. ROCHE,
attorney, is a native of Ireland,
born in 1846. His parents emigrated to this country by way of the Isthmus, and arrived
here in 1853, during his early childhood.
He attended school here during his boyhood and completed his education
at the Jesuit College. He studied law and was admitted to the bar in
1867, and since then, for the past twenty-four years, he has successfully
practiced his profession in the courts of the city and State, avoiding criminal
business and giving his attention to general civil practice. In 1871 he held the position of City and County
Attorney under Judge Nouges. He has been
associated in practice with Mr. Parker, and later with T. C. Van Ness. He has no taste for office, and devotes his
whole time to the interests of his profession.
