Professional Profile

Amber brings to WW a passion for the practice of law born of her experiences growing up in the heart of Chicago and of her previous work with immigrants seeking permanent residency in the United States. She first served as a law clerk and summer associate with the firm and in a short period of time has become adept at handling civil rights, securities, consumer fraud and antitrust matters. Amber has demonstrated the ability to take on, understand and litigate complex matters with the ease and confidence of a more experienced attorney.
