Georgia Trial Lawyer Marc Howard to Speak at Atlanta Bar Association Meeting

Online, June 15, 2011 (Newswire.com) - ATLANTA, GA - Atlanta-based trial attorney Marc Howard will be a guest speaker at an Atlanta Bar Association breakfast meeting (ABA) June 16th at the Buckhead Club.

Howard, a founding partner of the law firm Pope & Howard, P.C., will speak on a panel focused on the topic, "Tips for Lawyers Newly on Their Own: A One Hour Q & A," held by the ABA's Sole Practitioner/Small Firm Section. Other panel speakers include Janis Rosser, Esq., and Robert Wildstein, Esq.

The panel will begin with each attorney speaking briefly to the audience about his or her professional background before turning the floor over to questions. Audience members are encouraged to ask about anything related to success in the legal field, including starting out at a small practice and trying cases.

"It's very different going from being an associate to running your own law firm, and I'm happy to share my story with the other members of the ABA," Howard said. "Hopefully, others can learn from my experience as a founding partner of a successful law firm like Pope & Howard."

Attendees are encouraged to register for the panel in advance, as admission costs will increase at the door. Members of the Sole Practitioner/Small Firm section and non-members alike can register online at www.atlantabar.org.

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's School of Law in 1993. He and partner Geoff Pope started the Pope & Howard, P.C., law firm in Atlanta in 2005.
