Richard L. Fox Named a 2009 Five Star Wealth Manager by Philadelphia Magazine

PHILADELPHIA, November 17, 2009 — Richard L. Fox, Head of the Philanthropic and Nonprofit Group at Dilworth Paxson LLP, has been named one of the 2009 Five Star Wealth Managers based on client satisfaction by Philadelphia Magazine. The list appeared in the magazine’s November issue.

Philadelphia Magazine hired an independent market research company to administer a rigorous research process in which they surveyed more than 100,000 high net worth consumers and 7,400 finance service professionals. Survey participants were asked to evaluate a selection of "wealth managers," or individuals who prepare and/or implement clients' financial planning.

Local financial service industry experts reviewed the final selection of wealth managers, which included attorneys, as well as bankers and investment advisors, among others. The panel chose fewer than 7% to be named "best in client satisfaction." Fox was among those chosen for this honor.

Fox is a Partner in Dilworth Paxson's Tax Department and a member of the Trusts and Estates, and Healthcare Groups. Fox speaks frequently throughout the country and writes on issues pertaining to estate planning and philanthropy.
