- Philadelphia, PA-NJ (1888PressRelease) June 25, 2014 - USClaims (www.usclaims.com) has hired Howard B. Hopson, a highly skilled litigation attorney, as a litigation funding senior underwriter. Hopson joins an experienced team of underwriters who work with plaintiffs and their attorneys to provide funding for living expenses while a case works its way through the legal system.

He earned his J.D. from the Dickinson School of Law of the Pennsylvania State University, his M.B.A. from the University of Pittsburgh and his B.A. from Lehigh University.
