Dickenson Peatman & Fogarty has added three more lawyers to its Santa Rosa office to serve the evolving needs of the North Bay community, the firm announced today.

Joe Peatman, a founding partner, said the expansion was in line with the firm’s 46-year commitment to providing a full range of top-quality legal services to the businesses and residents of Napa and Sonoma Counties. “Howard Dickenson, Jim Fogarty and I started DP&F in 1964 with a single mission: to provide our clients with the best possible legal advice and support. The expansion of DP&F’s Santa Rosa office will help it serve the changing needs of all of its clients in a muscular, forward-thinking way.”

As part of the expansion, Gregory J. Walsh has become a Director and will head the firm’s Labor and Employment Group. Three other highly experienced attorneys have joined DP&F in Santa Rosa:

·        Susan M. Teel joins as Senior Counsel for the firm’s Wealth Management Group. Ms. Teel has specialized in estate planning, trust administration, probate and tax matters since 1976.

·        Delphine S. Adams joins as Senior Counsel in the Litigation Group. Ms. Adams has been practicing law since 1986, specializing in litigation and real estate matters.

·        Jennifer D. Phillips joins DP&F as an Associate in the firm’s Labor & Employment and Litigation Groups. Ms. Phillips has practiced law since 1994, specializing in labor and employment, litigation and real estate matters.

At the same time, DP&F announced today the departures of five attorneys.

Brandon R. Blevans has joined the firm of Blevans & Blevans, LLP in Napa and Michael Holman, Kevin Teague, Cathy Roche and Rob Anglin have formed their own firm, Holman, Teague, Roche & Anglin, LLP, which will also be located in Napa.

            “They will be missed at DP&F,” Peatman said, “and we wish our friends and former colleagues the very best in all their future endeavors.”
