Adam Jelovic

Attorney

Adam joined Sandberg Phoenix in 2022 as a member of the Health Law Practice Group, defending hospitals, long-term care facilities, and medical providers in medical negligence claims throughout Missouri and Illinois.

In addition to defending medical negligence claims,  Adam has a particular concentration in behavioral health and healthcare probate matters, where he regularly manages involuntary detentions, court-mandated treatments for psychiatric patients, and guardianships for major healthcare systems, long-term care facilities, and correctional medicine providers. He has conducted numerous contested hearings before Probate Courts in St. Louis City, St. Louis County, Jefferson County, Crawford County, and many others throughout Missouri. His in-depth knowledge of regulatory compliance, patients’ rights, and behavioral health allows him to effectively advise and consult clients when facing matters involving consent, discharge planning, release planning, HIPPA compliance, and general health care operations.

Outside of the office, Adam can be found enjoying the great outdoors, attending St. Louis sporting events,  golfing and spending time with his family.
