About Emily A
Emily A Littlefield practices law across two Midwestern jurisdictions. She is admitted in Illinois and Missouri and currently works at Roberts Perryman, P.C. Colleagues describe her as steady and pragmatic; clients see a lawyer who attends carefully to detail.
Littlefield completed her legal education before entering private practice. Early in her career she accumulated hands-on experience in a range of matters that called for courtroom preparation, written advocacy and negotiated settlements. That period helped shape the practical approach she uses today: thorough preparation, clear client communication and attention to deadlines.
She holds admission to the bars of Illinois and Missouri. Those credentials allow her to handle matters that arise under state law in both jurisdictions. Over time she has built familiarity with procedural differences and local practice customs that affect filings, hearings and case timelines.
Throughout her career Littlefield has balanced work in office and courtroom settings. She drafts pleadings and briefs, prepares witnesses, and participates in settlement discussions. In other matters she provides ongoing counsel to clients faced with complex regulatory or contractual questions. Her practice draws on day-to-day legal work as well as episodic litigation tasks.
At Roberts Perryman, P.C., Littlefield serves clients of varying sizes. The firm provides a platform for cross-jurisdictional work and for matters that require coordination between Illinois and Missouri counsel. Littlefield routinely coordinates with colleagues to align strategy, streamline discovery and present clear positions to opposing parties and tribunals.
She is known within her circle for methodical case management and attention to procedural detail. Those traits help when multiple deadlines and jurisdictions intersect. She also places emphasis on explaining options to clients in plain terms, so they can decide how to proceed.
Outside litigation, Littlefield spends time on drafting transactional documents and reviewing agreements when clients seek prevention rather than dispute resolution. She balances reactive work that meets immediate deadlines with proactive counsel that aims to reduce future conflicts.
As of 2026 Littlefield continues to practice at Roberts Perryman, P.C., handling matters arising under Illinois and Missouri law and representing clients in both advisory and contested proceedings.
