Long Valley Resident, Former Committeeman Named Among NJ's Top Trial Lawyers

Many Washington Township residents know their neighbor Howard Popper as a former committeeman, longtime Planning Board member and municipal utilities authority representative along with being a husband and father.

But what many may not know is his prowess in the courtroom as a trial attorney, which was recently recognized across the state of New Jersey.

Popper has been named among the top 100 trial lawyers in New Jersey by the National Trial Lawyers, an organization comprised of premier trial lawyers from across the country who demonstrate exceptional qualifications in their area of the law, specifically criminal defense or civil plaintiff law, according to a press release from the group.

Popper was chosen based on his qualifications, leadership skills, and trial results based on peer nominations and third-party research.

This isn’t Popper’s first accolade for his work in the courtroom. The Long Valley resident of 14 years is also a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum with several million dollar verdicts and settlements, and is part of the invitation-only New Jersey Association of Justice, Board of Governors.

Popper’s wife is a paralegal with Riker Danzig and their daughter is currently a sophomore at Syracuse University’s Whitman School of Business.

Popper has been practicing law for 28 years and is licensed in New Jersey, Washington DC, and Florida in the federal district court, third circuit of appeals.
