About Us

Emerson Law Firm staff at Oak Park office

Our 
Story

The Emerson Law team consists of Sandy Emerson, Matt Swenson, and Jacqueline Barnes. Both attorneys graduated from Chicago-Kent College of Law. Jacqueline, who holds a bachelor's degree in English from Taylor University in addition to a degree in the culinary arts, brings a unique perspective to our firm's daily operations. Remaining always in our hearts is our beloved senior staff dog, Kirby, who served for years as our dedicated "head of security" and brought immeasurable warmth and joy to our office environment.

At Emerson Law, we're more than just your legal team – we're also parents, neighbors, and active members of the community. We understand the importance of taking care of today's pressing issues, but also the need to plan for the future. We're here to guide you through life's transitions with care, empathy, and practical solutions. Whether you're thinking about buying or selling a home in the Oak Park / River Forest or Schaumburg areas, getting out of debt, protecting your family's future, or securing your legacy, we're ready to help. Let us give you the peace of mind you deserve.
