About Emma
Emma Curtis earned her law degree at Saint Louis University School of Law after completing undergraduate studies at Maryville University of St. Louis. She arrived in the profession grounded in local legal education and a familiarity with the courts and clients of the St. Louis area. Her academic background provided a base for practice on both sides of the Mississippi.
Curtis joined Stange Law Office, PC as a senior associate in 2019. She moved into a team leader role the following year. Those roles placed her in the center of case preparation, file management and day-to-day client contact. Colleagues describe her as attentive to detail and steady under deadline pressure.
Her work at the firm has involved coordinating attorneys and support staff. She has overseen discovery schedules, prepared pleadings and managed filings across state lines. The promotion to team leader expanded her responsibilities. It also required more interaction with clients and other lawyers to align strategy and execution on active matters.
Licensed to practice in Missouri and Illinois, Curtis regularly handles matters that require understanding procedures in both jurisdictions. She is familiar with the filing practices, local rules and timelines that differ from county to county and from state to state. That practical knowledge helps when a case touches courts in multiple venues.
Curtis is based at Stange Law Office, PC and works out of the firm’s multiple offices in the region. She divides her time among those locations depending on client needs and court schedules. The arrangement allows her to meet clients close to where they live and to appear in courts across the firm’s service area.
Her approach is methodical. She focuses on clear communication with clients and on keeping cases moving. She prefers to break complex matters into manageable tasks and to set realistic timelines. That style shapes how she runs her team and how she collaborates with other lawyers at the firm.
As of 2026 Curtis remains at Stange Law Office, PC, representing clients in matters that require work in both Missouri and Illinois and supervising a team of lawyers and staff on active cases.
