Memberships & Associations

The American Association for Justice (AAJ) — formerly the Association of Trial Lawyers of America (ATLA) — is the world's largest trial bar association, founded in 1946 and headquartered in Washington, D.C. Membership in the AAJ is a signal that an attorney is committed to representing plaintiffs — the injured, the wronged, and the vulnerable — not insurance companies or corporate defendants.

AAJ members advocate for the constitutional right to a trial by jury, access to the civil justice system, and fair compensation for people harmed by the negligence or misconduct of others. The organization provides members with cutting-edge legal research, continuing education, and a nationwide network of plaintiff attorneys sharing strategies that benefit clients.

As an AAJ member, Rose Harper has access to the organization's litigation resources, legal exchange databases, and ongoing trial advocacy training — resources that directly improve outcomes for her clients throughout New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.

The New Jersey Association for Justice (NJAJ) is New Jersey's premier plaintiff attorney organization, founded in the 1940s and incorporated in 1976. With over 2,400 members — including attorneys, paralegals, and legal professionals — NJAJ is the most influential advocate for injured New Jersey residents and the attorneys who represent them.

NJAJ membership is restricted: no attorney who primarily represents insurance companies or defendants in personal injury litigation may hold regular membership. This makes NJAJ membership a clear signal to clients that an attorney is exclusively on the side of injured people — not carriers.

NJAJ provides members with ongoing continuing legal education credits recognized in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. NJAJ also lobbies at the state level to protect injured New Jerseyans' legal rights and advocates in courts through amicus filings.

The American Truck Accident Attorneys (ATAA) is an elite national organization bringing together plaintiff trial lawyers who specialize in representing victims of severe truck and commercial motor vehicle (CMV) crashes. Litigation involving 18-wheelers, tractor-trailers, and large delivery fleets requires highly technical knowledge that goes far beyond standard passenger vehicle accident cases.

ATAA members undergo specialized training focused on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs), commercial electronic logging devices (ELDs), truck braking systems, black box data retrieval, and fleet maintenance records. The organization demands that its members actively focus on holding negligent trucking companies, brokers, and commercial drivers accountable.

By maintaining alignment with the ATAA, Rose Harper ensures her practice utilizes advanced, aggressive discovery techniques and reconstruction data necessary to confront corporate defense teams and secure full compensation in complex truck accident cases.

Avvo is the largest independent attorney directory and rating platform in the United States, profiling 97% of all licensed attorneys in the country. Avvo rates attorneys on a scale of 1.0 to 10.0 — from "Extreme Caution" to "Superb" — based on verified data drawn directly from state bar associations and an attorney's professional profile.

The Avvo rating considers years of experience, bar status, professional achievements, peer endorsements, awards, publications, and client reviews. Critically, the rating cannot be purchased — Avvo explicitly states that attorneys cannot pay to improve their rating. This makes it one of the more objective third-party signals available to consumers evaluating attorneys online.

Rose Harper's Avvo profile reflects her verified bar credentials, professional experience in personal injury law across New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and the peer recognition she has earned within the legal community.
