The law firm of Hodges, Loizzi, Eisenhammer, Rodick & Kohn LLP, has announced the opening of an office in Peoria.  The law firm, whose 30 lawyers represent over 150 school districts and municipalities throughout Illinois, currently has offices in Arlington Heights and Belleville. “We are committed to serving our clients,” said Robert Kohn, managing partner of the firm.  “We recently have been retained by Peoria Public Schools District 150 on several projects.  The Peoria office will allow us to better serve not only the Peoria School District but all of our clients in Central Illinois.” Joining the firm is Elizabeth Jensen, who will be the partner in charge of the Peoria office.  Ms. Jensen, a former partner in a Peoria law firm, has served as counsel for the Peoria schools and Assistant Corporation Counsel for the City of Peoria.  She currently sits on the Board of Governors of the Illinois State Bar Association and the Board of the Heart of Illinois Regional PORT District. “Beth is a perfect fit for our law firm and the Peoria office,” Kohn stated, “not only does she know school and municipal law, but she knows Peoria and Central Illinois.  Her expertise in these areas will be an asset to the firm, not to mention our clients.  She, in turn, will be working side by side with 30 other experienced school and municipal attorneys.” The new office will open soon.  As she finalizes preparations for the opening of the new office, Ms. Jensen will be working from the firm’s Arlington Heights location. “Beth starts work today,” added Kohn, “we do not intend to skip a beat!”
