Emerson Law Firm, LLC serves clients in Chicago and throughout Cook, DuPage, Will and Lake counties in communities such as Oak Park, River Forest, Forest Park, Cicero, Berwyn, Barrington, Barrington Hills, Deerfield, Fox Lake, Lake Forest, Skokie, Evanston, Highland Park, Elmwood Park, Norridge, Norwood Park, Park Ridge, Franklin Park, Brookfield, Riverside, Melrose Park, Des Plaines, Palatine, Elmhurst, Oak Brook, Villa Park, Lombard, Wilmette, and more.
Emerson Law Firm, LLC was established by attorney Sandra M. Emerson in 2000. Our attorneys serve clients in the areas of real estate (including short sales and foreclosures); bankruptcy; and general consumer matters, such as debt collection defense.
The key to our success? When we were founded, we recognized that clients appreciate when their attorney genuinely cares -- not only about the client, but about the result. Though we can't guarantee a particular outcome -- particularly in litigation -- we take the dual role of attorney and counselor seriously, and strive to obtain the most favorable resolution possible for the individual client's situation. Each client that comes to us has a different goal. But one thing our clients have in common is that they all deserve to be treated with the utmost dignity and respect.
It is because of this underlying philosophy that the firm has grown the old-fashioned way -- from the referrals of satisfied clients, one great client at a time.
From our Oak Park, Illinois office, our law firm assists a diverse range of clients in Chicago, the Oak Park/River Forest/Elmwood Park area, and throughout the western suburbs with their legal needs. In today's economic climate, people of all income levels and walks of life often find themselves in need of a law firm to assist them with their real estate or estate planning needs. Many of our clients wonder if a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy can help them attain their goals, or if they even qualify to file.
We are true legal advocates who are dedicated to guiding you through your options. Whether you need an attorney to assist you with a short sale or home purchase, to establish a trust or write a will, or to help you decide if bankruptcy is right for you, you can trust and rely on the lawyers at Emerson Law Firm, LLC to assist you. To schedule a confidential consultation with a lawyer of the firm, contact our office today using our convenient online contact form, or call us at (708) 660-9190.
Testimonials
Sandra is handling 4 complicated foreclosure cases for me. I continue to be amazed at her ability to quickly analyze information and jump right to the pertinent issues. She quickly interprets and synthesizes elements of complex legal issues to develop an overall strategy for each particular case.
Sandra is by far the best attorney with whom I have worked. She has demonstrated excellent legal skills in the management of my cases for the best possible outcome in a timely fashion. Sandra keeps me well informed of legal proceedings and the status of my cases.
