MADISON - ST. CLAIR RECORD

Sandberg Phoenix & von Gontard P.C., a full-service law firm headquartered in St. Louis, announced that it has opened its fourth office in O'Fallon.

The full-service firm already has two fully-staffed offices located in Edwardsville and Carbondale.

"The firm is excited about expanding our footprint in Southern Illinois by adding our fourth office in O'Fallon, Illinois," said the firm's managing partner, John Sandberg.

"We believe, as we have for the last 31 years, that client service is our number one priority, and we will continue to grow to meet the needs of our clients."

With the expansion, the firm has hired Joel Green, Sue Schultz and Lori DaCosse to practice in the O'Fallon office which will be managed by Bhavik Patel, a shareholder with Sandberg Phoenix, who practices in the firm's Business and Business Litigation Groups.

While the three newly hired attorneys will focus their practice in the Business and Business Litigation Groups, the O'Fallon office will provide the full range of services that Sandberg Phoenix offers.

"This expansion was a big step for the future of our firm. We now have the resources and man-power to provide timely and quality legal services to our Southern Illinois community," said Patel.

Sandberg Phoenix has added 15 attorneys in the past two years, which includes the new O'Fallon office.
