PHILADELPHIA - PennZone -- Feldman Shepherd is pleased to announce that partner Patricia M. Giordano was honored by the New Jersey Association for Justice (NJAJ) with its Gerald B. O'Connor Award at its 8th Annual Awards Dinner on February 27, 2025.

The award honors the memory of Gerald B. O'Connor, an extraordinary trial lawyer who earned the respect of colleagues and adversaries alike for his brilliant skills and professionalism as well as his humanity. It is presented to veteran current or former NJAJ members who, like Gerald B. O'Connor, have had a stellar legal career and have exhibited skill, creativity and professionalism as a trial attorney.

Giordano previously served in a number of executive leadership positions at NJAJ including as President-Elect and 1st Vice President.

She is also a member of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee, among other posts.
