Joshua Gropper

Joshua Gropper received a full-tuition, academic scholarship to American University in Washington, D.C. He graduated Cum Laude with High Honors in 1987, and went on to earn his Law Degree from Boston University in 1991. Since then, Joshua Gropper has been practicing personal injury and has built a reputation as a stellar trial attorney.

Joshua’s interest in representing those who have sustained serious injuries is based upon his own, personal experience. During law school, Joshua was faced with a family tragedy when Joshua’s only sibling was trapped in a horrific house fire and suffered third degree burns over 85% his body.

As a result, Joshua’s brother was hospitalized for almost two years. Although Joshua’s brother ultimately survived, he remains a quadruple amputee. Joshua saw that a quality and caring lawyer makes a real difference to people who suffer severe injuries. Joshua’s brother enjoys a quality of life today only because he was represented by a lawyer who fought passionately to obtain a fair and just settlement on his behalf.

Joshua was inspired by this event to devote his career to people who have been injured, and to help them obtain the compensation they deserve. For over 25 years, he has remained steadfast in his commitment to help those who have been hurt or injured. If he takes your case, he will fight passionately to obtain the best possible outcome for you.
