FARIBAULT, MN - Patton Hoversten & Berg PA (PH&B Law), a trusted legal partner in Southern Minnesota for more than 50 years, proudly announces two significant developments: the relocation of its Faribault office and the promotion of attorney Joseph R. Heinrichs to shareholder.

These milestones reflect the firm’s commitment to local service, legal excellence, and long-term community partnership.
A Strategic Move in Downtown Faribault
The firm’s new Faribault office is now open at:
Patton Hoversten & Berg PA
415 2nd Ave NW
Faribault, MN 55021
Phone: 507-332-7425
This new location - formerly occupied by the law offices of J. Scott Braden P.A. - sits diagonally across the street from the Rice County Courthouse, placing PH&B Law steps away from the heart of the local judicial system. The move enhances convenience for clients and underscores the firm’s longstanding dedication to accessible legal representation.
“Our new location is more than just a change of address,” said John D. Scott, shareholder at PH&B Law. “It places us at the center of the legal community here in Rice County, where we’ve proudly served for decades.”

Joseph R. Heinrichs Elevated to Shareholder
PH&B Law also celebrates the promotion of Joseph R. Heinrichs to shareholder. Since joining the firm in 2022, Heinrichs has distinguished himself through strong courtroom results and a steadfast commitment to client service.
“Joe has quickly become a key asset to our team,” said Scott. “His insight, preparation, and advocacy have earned the trust of clients and colleagues alike. We’re proud to welcome him as a shareholder.”
Heinrichs, a native of Waseca, earned his law degree with honors from the University of St. Thomas School of Law. He was a certified student attorney in the Hennepin County Prosecutors' Office. Before joining Patton Hoversten & Berg PA, he served as a judicial law clerk for the Third Judicial District. He is admitted to practice in Minnesota state courts and the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, where he continues to serve.
“I’m honored to take this next step with PH&B Law,” said Heinrichs. “Becoming a shareholder is both a privilege and a responsibility - and I’m excited to continue building lasting relationships with our clients and community.”
