The Popham Law Firm was founded in 1918, and has been a familiar name in high level trial and appellate work in the Kansas City legal community ever since. The Popham Law Firm has long been considered one of the leading trial firms in the greater Kansas City area, with its attorneys focusing on trial practice in the areas of medical malpractice, employment discrimination, workers' compensation and catastrophic personal injury.

Today, the Popham Law Firm consists of four partners - Dirk Vandever, Scott Mach, Dennis Egan, and Bert Braud - who bring trial experience and stability to their practice. Mark Schloegel has joined the firm as an Associate, having clerked for a Jackson County Circuit Court judge. According to sources such as the American Bar Association, most lawyers will change firms several times in their careers. The stability at the Popham Law Firm is impressive and unusual - three of the four partners have never practiced with any other law firm, and the fourth has been with only one other firm. The result of this continuity is almost 100 collective years of experience with one firm - The Popham Law Firm.
