Former Montgomery County Assistant District Attorney Kristen M. Gibbons Feden, who was lauded as a tenacious prosecutor in the successful prosecution of incarcerated sexual predator Bill Cosby, has joined Saltz, Mongeluzzi & Bendesky, P.C., where she will focus her practice on representing victims of sexual abuse, according to Robert J. Mongeluzzi, President of the Firm.
Mr. Mongeluzzi noted, “Krissy Feden has been one of America’s most successful and renowned sex crime prosecutors and helped kick start the #MeToo movement with her successful high profile prosecution and conviction of Bill Cosby. She combines a deeply felt concern for the victims of sexual abuse with tremendous experience and trial skill at prosecuting these cases. She is an incredible asset to those many victims, who, after having their trust violated, desperately need an experienced and caring lawyer they can trust. Krissy is that lawyer.”
Firm Partner and Co-founder Larry Bendesky said, “Krissy’s addition to the firm demonstrates our commitment to a dedicated practice area focused on meeting the growing need by abuse victims – in our region and across America – for exceptional legal representation. As a firm that promotes inter-departmental collaboration, her expertise and impact as a litigator will also be evident throughout our firm.”
Ms. Feden, a graduate of Temple University’s Beasley School of Law, and licensed to practice in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, said, “I’m truly honored to join a leading plaintiff’s firm that I have long admired for its distinctively fierce brand of victim’s representation.” She added, “I am excited to be working alongside a stellar team of attorneys and other professionals that have earned the respect of their peers in successfully litigating among the most complex, catastrophic personal injury cases, regionally and nationally.”
Jeffrey P. Goodman, an SM&B Partner, said he is particularly excited that Ms. Feden has joined the Firm. “We were law school classmates and competed together on Temple’s championship Trial Team. It was obvious to everyone that Krissy had an innate ability to empathize with victims and the skill set to effectively argue cases to a jury. In that regard, her outstanding track record over the past decade – in a wide range of cases – speaks for itself.”
