Amber Ortiz is a paralegal at Mizrahi Kroub LLP, where she supports the firm's employment team. She helps manage the team's caseload, drafts legal documents, and coordinates discovery. She also conducts legal research and corresponds with clients, opposing counsel, and the courts.
Amber has worked in the legal field since 2020. Before joining the firm, she worked at three firms with very different focuses:
- Plaintiff-side employment law
- Corporate law serving clients in the entertainment industry
- Union-side labor law
Along the way, she also worked in operations management, accounts payable, human resources, and front office administration. That range of experience has made her a resourceful and self-sufficient member of the team.
What Amber enjoys most is bridging the gap for clients. Many people come to the firm at one of the hardest moments of their lives, when a problem has grown beyond what they can solve on their own. She takes pride in being part of a thorough, well-trained, and compassionate team, so clients can breathe easier knowing someone has their back.
Outside of work, Amber is learning French and how to bake sourdough bread. She loves to draw and paint, throw ceramics, and create nail art. She also reads manga, comics, and romance fantasy sagas.
