About this episode

She built her legal career during one of the most uncertain financial times in modern history - and never looked back.

The Lawyer Stories Podcast Episode 260 features Cristina M. Ortiz, Bankruptcy and Foreclosure Lawyer at the Law Office of Cristina M. Ortiz, P.A., based in South Florida.

Cristina is a 2008 graduate of FIU College of Law, attending at a time when the school wasn't even accredited yet - and launching her career during the financial crisis. That experience shaped her approach to helping clients navigate complex financial challenges with clarity and confidence.

Today, Cristina represents individuals, families, and international clients in real estate, foreclosure, and bankruptcy matters, building a practice centered on trust, education, and long-term relationships.

This is a conversation about resilience, building through uncertainty, and creating a practice grounded in service.
