Icard Merrill shareholder John J. Waskom has been selected as the recipient of The Florida Bar President's 2022 Pro Bono Service Award for the 12th Judicial Circuit. This award is presented to an outstanding attorney from each of the state’s 20 judicial circuits and to an outstanding attorney among the out-of-state Florida Bar members. This is the third time an Icard Merrill attorney has been awarded this honor since its inception in 1982 (previous recipients were Art Ginsburg in 2012 and Troy Myers in 2011). Icard Merrill has worked for many years with The Florida Bar, Legal Aid of Manasota, the 12th Judicial Circuit’s Guardian Ad Litem program, and other community partners on hundreds of pro bono cases in multiple areas of law.
