Colleagues, clients, and judges in both state and federal courts comment on Emilee M. Bramstedt’s dedication, commitment, work ethic, and zealous advocacy, appreciating the attention to detail she puts into each case. She’s successfully represented a wide range of clients – from Fortune 500 companies to small businesses to individuals – and handled a wide range of legal issues, including complex, multi-party civil cases and class actions (such as consumer fraud class actions and mass actions involving pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and other products liability) as well as personal injury/wrongful death, premises liability, and property damage matters. She’s litigated cases throughout central and southern Illinois (including St. Clair, Madison, and Sangamon Counties and various counties in between), while also handling matters in St. Louis City, Missouri.
Ms. Bramstedt prides herself on being a valuable member of a larger team by offering worthwhile and important contributions to all aspects of a case, while also skillfully approaching each case individually, starting from pre-trial investigations and going all the way through the conclusion of trial. Her commitment to her clients helps her shine in even the most complex matters while obtaining favorable results, whether that be a pre-trial dismissal, favorable settlement, or favorable verdict.
When not advocating for her clients, Ms. Bramstedt is busy being a mother to her young daughter and a wife to her husband. As a family, they enjoy volunteering for various charities in central Illinois and spending time in their community.
