Emily Ryder joined Zanck, Coen, Wright & Saladin, PC, in October 2025. She supports the firm’s litigation, family law, and real estate practices and works closely with Andrew Honaker and Sharyl Eisenstein. Emily also assists the firm’s real estate attorneys and staff, helping ensure transactions and case matters move forward smoothly.

Before joining the firm, Emily spent eight years as an administrative assistant for an asphalt company. Her experience managing operations, coordinating schedules, and handling detailed administrative tasks provides a strong foundation for her work in our fast-paced legal environment.

As the daughter of a Navy family, she is passionate about causes connected to military service and has volunteered in support of veterans’ organizations.

Outside of work, Emily is a voracious reader, having read 50 books in 2025, and has set a goal to increase that number in 2026. Emily, her husband, and three children live in Harvard, IL, where they enjoy spending a lot of their free time at their children’s sporting events!
