Joan Orsini Ford, shareholder in the health care department in the King of Prussia office of Marshall Dennehey Warner Coleman & Goggin, has been named the recipient of the 2021 James P. Fox Trial Lawyer of the Year Award from the Montgomery Bar Association's trial lawyers section. Ford was honored at a virtual reception Dec. 16.
Each year, the trial lawyers section of the Montgomery Bar Association presents the James P. Fox Award to an individual who has demonstrated exceptional skill as a civil litigation and trial lawyer. The award is bestowed in memory of the late James P. Fox, the first trial lawyer to receive it, posthumously, for his dedication to his clients and his work as a Montgomery County trial lawyer. It was established by the Fox family to "recognize lawyers who toil in the trenches with dignity and respect."
The award recognizes not only proficiency in the courtroom but also a dedication to promoting a positive image for attorneys through one's professional demeanor, service and integrity. In addition, it seeks to acknowledge an attorney who has created a reputation among her peers as a daunting adversary, while remaining a respected colleague.
