“Ezra’s election as CBT chair by his fellow trustees — among whom are the leaders of the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association — is a testament to his leadership and diplomacy,” said Mark W. Tanner, Feldman Shepherd’s co-managing shareholder.

“Our firm supports the mission of the Committee for a Better Tomorrow, and we are honored that our peers have recognized Ezra to assume this important leadership position,” said Alan M. Feldman, Feldman Shepherd’s co-founding and co-managing shareholder.
