Giffin, Winning, Cohen & Bodewes, P.C. has announced the opening of a new office in Jacksonville at 102 N. Westgate Ave., Suite B. Giffin, Winning, Cohen & Bodewes, P.C. is a full-service law firm with eight attorneys, three of counsel, and a team of experienced staff.

The firm believes that the expansion aligns perfectly with its objective of servicing new and existing clients. The decision to expand into Morgan County aligns perfectly with the firm’s 
mission – for over 100 years – to provide excellent legal services to new and existing clients throughout Central Illinois.

The new Jacksonville office will be the firm’s third location following the opening of its Hillsboro office in 2016.

The office will be staffed primarily by Attorney Samantha Bobor. Ms. Bobor joined the firm in 2020 after spending over three years in private practice in Jacksonville. Ms. Bobor practices in the areas of general litigation, as well as in education, labor and employment, and local government law. In addition to Ms. Bobor’s practice, clients will be able to take advantage of the full-service ability of the firm as a whole. She explained, “Through our Jacksonville office, residents of Morgan County and the surrounding areas will have access to every attorney of our firm handling a broad spectrum of legal issues. The firm takes a team approach to a client-centered experience. Because we approach legal issues as a team, a client who retains one of our attorneys actually retains all of our attorneys, having at their disposal all of the expertise and resources that the entire firm can bring to bear upon their legal problem.”

Not only does the firm’s legal team offer decades of collective legal experience, but their attorneys are backed by the highest levels of professional recognition. Many of the firm’s attorneys have received the prestigious “AV Preeminent” ratingⁱ from Martindale-Hubbell^®, named to Illinois “Super Lawyers”^®, and included in “Leading Lawyers Network” publications. The firm counts among its former members and associates a United States Senator from Illinois, congressmen, judges, and other prominent governmental, community, and business leaders. Additionally, the firm is a member of SCG Legal, an invitation-only group of over 145 preeminent independent law firms.ⁱⁱ
