Emily Bond

Family and community are of utmost importance to me, and for that reason, I believe estate planning is truly special and deeply meaningful. It is a privilege to assist clients through a process that creates lasting legacies for their families and communities. What I value most about estate planning is that, at Opel Bash, we treat each client’s individual needs as our roadmap, and we serve as trusted guides to help them reach the best possible outcome. As the needs of each client vary greatly, it is an honor to help navigate each unique circumstance with purpose and dedication. 

I earned my degree in Communications from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and continued my education at Mitchell Hamline School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota. In the summer of 2023, I was involved in the early development of Opel Bash Group.

  It was an honor to be embraced by Opel Bash Group as an intern, and I immediately fell in love with the firm’s mission and vision, as they perfectly align with my personal values. I feel incredibly lucky to have been with the firm since the beginning and to continue to grow alongside it. It is empowering to be surrounded by a group of professionals who genuinely care for their clients and consistently prioritize doing what is in each client’s best interest.

Outside of my practice, I enjoy spending time with my dog, Louie, and value activities that promote balance and creativity. I practice yoga and enjoy creative outlets such as crocheting and designing handmade cards—activities that reflect my appreciation for patience, precision, and thoughtful craftsmanship. These qualities carry into my legal work, where I strive to approach each matter with care, attention to detail, and a commitment to serving my clients with intention and diligence.

“Emily is truly the perfect piece of the Opel Bash puzzle. She approaches her work with unmatched diligence and meticulous care, always ensuring that our clients receive exceptional, personalized service.”
