Kristen Feden

A celebrated trial attorney and legal expert known as the female litigator “who stared down Bill Cosby” (The New York Times), Kristen Gibbons Feden joined Anapol Weiss as a shareholder in March 2024. In addition to being internationally recognized as a leading fierce and relentless litigator in the #MeToo Movement and her world-renowned closing argument in the Bill Cosby trial, Feden is known for the two eight-figure verdicts she won in a single day in 2023 – a $10.5M verdict for survivors of singer and entertainer R. Kelly and a $22M verdict for a sexual abuse survivor of a renowned pediatrician in New York. Between 2024 and 2025, she won additional significant victories for other sexual abuse survivors of the same pediatrician, with 104 verdicts totaling $1.6 billion.

Feden leads the Anapol Weiss practice areas for sexual abuse, human trafficking, child abuse and exploitation, and civil rights litigation. Recognized on a national level as a formidable advocate in legal matters, Kristen has stood by numerous survivors of crimes, particularly sexual abuse, championing their quest for civil justice.

Feden’s current cases include:

The representation of hundreds of men and women who survived childhood sexual assault while in the custody of various states’ juvenile justice systems,
Holding rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft accountable for the sexual assaults experienced by riders,
Representing families against tech giants like Roblox and Discord for their role in enabling predatory grooming, sexploitation, and sexual assault through their platforms, including through a complaint filed on behalf of a 13-year-old boy in February 2025 and another complaint filed in April 2025 on behalf of a minor in Florida; and
The fight against the Alexander Brothers, real estate moguls who allegedly used their wealth and prominence to run a sprawling sex trafficking scheme.

Feden has garnered numerous accolades for her unwavering commitment to aiding the most vulnerable survivors, many of whom turned to her during their most challenging moments. Although she gained international recognition for her now-famous closing argument in the second trial of Commonwealth v. William H. Cosby, her commitment to advocating for survivors of sexual abuse extends beyond the courtroom. She initiated her involvement with survivors while serving as a prosecutor in Montgomery County, where she held the prestigious positions of Captain in the Domestic Violence and Elder Abuse Units, as well as a member of the Sex Crimes Unit. During her tenure, she successfully prosecuted numerous cases, including cases involving sexual and physical abuse, child pornography, domestic violence, and homicide.

Feden was named 2024 Attorney of the Year by The Legal®. She was also named Attorney of the Year by The Philadelphia Citizen®.

Additionally, Feden has consistently received commendations for her courtroom successes and advocacy on behalf of survivors during her time as a prosecutor and as a civil litigator, consistently taking cases to trial when others might not, including recognition by Victim Services Center of Norristown, Safe Harbor, Law Enforcement, the Victim’s Rights Law Center, Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers in America, The Nation’s Top One Percent by The National Association of Distinguished Counsel, Top 25 National Women Trial Lawyers in Pennsylvania, The National Black Lawyers Top 100, and Top 10 Most Influential Leaders Making an Impact in Legal Industry, 2024.

Feden was also named to The Business Journals Top 40 under 40 - Philadelphia® in 2016 and was featured on the cover. While many of Feden’s case outcomes remain confidential, she tirelessly achieves exceptional and unmatched results for her clients, including:

$1.6 billion in damages were awarded in child sexual abuse cases.
$32 million in damages was awarded in child sexual abuse case.
$22 million in damages was awarded in child sexual abuse case.
$10.3 million was awarded to survivors of terroristic threats.
$6.5 million settlement was reached against a retail commercial entity for a sexual abuse survivor.
$1 million settlement was secured against an educational institution for a sexual abuse survivor.

Beyond the courtroom, Feden serves as a powerful voice for survivors nationwide. She is frequently sought after for expert commentary on high-profile matters by attorneys and various international and national media outlets, including MSNBC, NBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, Fox, NPR, and the BBC. Internationally, Feden travels to speak out and advocate for changes in the law and societal understanding of the dynamics of sexual violence and the impacts of sexual trauma on survivors.

Reflecting her leadership and public service in the community, Feden utilizes her expertise by serving on various Board and Court Appointments, including serving as Board President of Montgomery County’s Victim Services Center and as a board member of Aequitas (a national resource center for law enforcement investigating and prosecuting sex trafficking and other sex crimes), the Victim Rights Law Center, and the National Crime Victims Bar Association. She is a past Member of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court Criminal Procedural Rules Committee, appointed by now-Chief Justice Debra Todd.

Feden’s expertise is frequently called upon by advocacy groups to present and deliver keynote speeches. Recognized by The National Women Trial Lawyers Association and selected as a member of The Specialty Associations by The National Trial Lawyers group, Feden exemplifies exceptional leadership qualifications, reputation, influence, stature, and public profile. Moreover, her dedication to teaching and mentoring the next generation of lawyers is evident in her roles as an adjunct professor at the Temple University Beasley School of Law, where she occasionally teaches in the top-ranked Temple LL.M. program in Trial Advocacy, and as a frequent keynote speaker at national conferences.

Feden’s relentless pursuit of justice and advocacy for those finding their voice cements her status as a leading litigator and figure in the legal community. Feden is licensed to practice law in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York.

The suit sought an injunction to bar the use of Proposition 16’s minimum standardized test score requirement to determine freshmen eligibility to participate in Division I sports at NCAA-member colleges. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania found a disparate impact and ruled in the plaintiffs’ favor. The Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ultimately reversed on jurisdictional – not substantive – grounds. The eligibility rule ultimately was changed by the NCAA, and that change was consistent with plaintiffs’ proffered alternative.
- In re City of Philadelphia Litigation – Danielle represented plaintiff Ramona Africa after the City of Philadelphia dropped a bomb on the house of a back-to-nature group known as the MOVE organization. This incident resulted in the tragic loss of life and the vast destruction of property. A substantial litigation arose out of this incident, and after a two-month trial, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Ms. Africa.

Bernard Smalley, Sr.

For more than 40 years, Bernard Smalley, Sr. has devoted his legal career to advocating on behalf of victims of corporate or professional negligence. He has secured for his client’s scores of seven-figure recoveries through his combination of intellect, perceptiveness, and warmth.

As a young man, Mr. Smalley cut hair in his father’s West Philadelphia barber shop where he met William H. Hastie, the first African-American to become Chief Judge of a Federal Court of Appeals in the United States. It was then that Chief Judge Hastie planted the seed, along with Ronald Davenport, later Dean of Duquesne Law School, Pat Swygert later of Temple Law School and President of Howard University, and Judge Harvey N. Schmidt, to launch a career of serving his community by being an attorney.

Later, as a Deputy Court Administrator in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, Bernie was privileged to work for and be influenced by Judge Stanley M. Greenberg. It was while working for Judge Greenberg that Bernie saw for the first time the work of a true trial lawyer fighting for his client, Arthur G. Raynes.

A well-recognized and accomplished trial attorney, Mr. Smalley is a Fellow of both the prestigious International Academy of Trial Lawyers and the American College of Trial Lawyers.

He has been selected to the Philadelphia Super Lawyers list every year since 2004 and has frequently been selected by his peers to be named as one of the Top 100 lawyers in Philadelphia as well as one of the Top 100 lawyers in Pennsylvania. He has frequently lectured on trial techniques before national, state, and local trial lawyer and bar associations.

Mr. Smalley served as president of the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association and received its Justice Michael A. Musmanno Award. Mr. Smalley has also received the President’s Award from The Barristers’ Association of Philadelphia, the Soaring Eagle Award from the Minority Caucus of the American Association of Justice (formerly ATLA), and the Pursuit of Justice Award from the American Bar Association, as well as the Justice Thurgood Marshall Award of Excellence.

He is a member of the National Bar Association, and the Barristers’ Association and has been consistently named Most Influential by the Philadelphia Tribune Newspaper. Smalley sat as Chair of Hearing Committee 1.14 for the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania Disciplinary Board and was a standing member of The Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s Evidence Committee.

In 2014, Smalley received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Philadelphia Legal Intelligencer.

Bernard Smalley was elected by the Judges of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas to a lifetime appointment to the Board of Directors of City Trusts. In January 2021, he was unanimously elected President of the Board of Directors, becoming the first African American to hold this position in the Board’s 153-year history. In 2025, he transitioned to the role of President Emeritus of the Board of Directors of City Trusts. He also serves on the Board of the Ellis Trust and the Chairman’s Council of the Mann Center for the Performing Arts. Additionally, he is a former Board Member of the Philadelphia Zoo and has served on the Board of The Philadelphia Tribune Newspaper since 2019.

Smalley received his Bachelor’s degree from Temple University in 1971 and his law degree from Widener University School of Law in 1980. He and his wife, Jacquelyn, live in West Philadelphia where they both grew up.
