Bringing more than 25 years in bankruptcy, business law and business and commercial litigation experience, Sharon Stolte adds considerable depth to the legal services Sandberg Phoenix provides to clients in Western Missouri and Kansas.
Sandberg Phoenix is pleased to welcome Sharon Stolte as new Counsel in the firm’s growing Kansas City office. A highly experienced counselor and litigator, Sharon’s wealth of experience supporting clients provides Sandberg Phoenix the opportunity to provide even more value to its clients.
