Christopher Emerald was first licensed to practice law in Illinois in November 1999. He is the sole practitioner at CE Law, LLC, which is based in Crystal Lake, the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission (IARDC) said. Emerald concentrates his practice on business law, estate planning and real estate transactions.
