Testimonials

“The efforts of Marc Howard and his firm Pope & Howard exceeded my expectations many times over. In my twenty-three years of trial practice I have dealt with no co-counsel that help me represent my client with any more competence or energy than Marc Howard and his firm. The ultimate result for the client was excellent and exceeded all reasonable expectations.”

— G. Thorne Stallings, Jr.

"I was referred to Pope and Howard, P.C. by another attorney when I had a stroke in 2004. It was the lowest time in my life, and they achieved a great outcome for my case. While pursuing my case they always treated me with respect and dignity. They even helped me enroll in a rehabilitation program that helped my recovery. They always answered any of my questions and were never too busy to return my calls. I definitely recommend contacting Pope and Howard if you have suffered an injury."

Marc Howard, named as a Georgia Super Lawyer and as a "Legal Elite" lawyer in Georgia Trend Magazine, received his Juris Doctor from the University of Georgia School of Law in 1993. Mr. Howard was then admitted to both the Georgia and Virginia Bar in 1993. Before partnering with Geoff Pope in January of 2005, Mr. Howard spent the first half of his legal career representing airlines and airports, trucking companies, contractors, and insurance companies. Since then, he has turned to individuals, families, and business in need of representation for wrongful conduct by others.

In addition to his experience in the field of aviation and trucking, Mr. Howard represented Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport for many years. During this time, Mr. Howard built a specialty practice involving premises liability. Among the many cases Marc has handled are those involving serious injuries and death as the result of construction site accidents, criminal attacks on premises and injuries involving hazardous premises conditions.

Mr. Howard has also been a regular speaker at seminars, and has been invited to speak at the national Aviation Law Seminar at Southern Methodist University. Mr. Howard has testified before the Georgia General Assembly on matters involving legal reform and attorney conduct. Mr. Howard is currently the Chairman of the Civil Justice Political Action Committee of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association (GTLA) and formerly chaired GTLA’s Amicus Committee, which submits briefs to the Georgia Supreme Court and Court of Appeals regarding numerous legal issues.
