ATLANTA, GA (April 6, 2022) — Atlanta personal injury lawyer Geoff Pope, co-founder of personal injury law firm Pope & Howard, P.C., has been named a 2023 Best Lawyer in America© in two different categories: Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs and Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs.
All lawyers included in the publication have been nominated by a peer.
“It’s wonderful to be recognized in this publication, because it’s coming from my peers in the Georgia legal profession,” Pope said. “I’m very honored.”
Organized by state, city, and practice area, The Best Lawyers in America publication is one of the legal industry’s oldest peer-review publications, highlighting the top 6% of private practicing attorneys in the United States.
“I’m particularly honored to have been selected in two categories, general personal injury litigation as well as medical malpractice. General personal injury litigation includes our trucking, negligent security, and construction injury practices, and medical malpractice has long been an area of focus for us. Whatever the cause of the injury, we will continue to fight to get victims just compensation,” Pope added.
The Best Lawyers in America, first published in 1983, gathers the opinions of leading lawyers in each state, asking them about the professional abilities of their colleagues. It’s the same process they’ve used for over 30 years, with lawyers in 146 different practice areas recognized today.
Pope, born and raised in Americus, Georgia, met fellow attorney Marc Howard at the University of Georgia Law School, and the two joined together to form Pope & Howard, P.C. in Atlanta in 2005.
Pope has been a member of the Georgia Bar since 1993 and is a Past President of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association, an organization dedicated to defending and protecting a citizen’s right to a trial by jury. He became President of the Georgia Chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), an invitation-only association comprised of highly-experienced trial attorneys recognized for exhibiting the highest professional standards, in November 2021.
