Amanda’s Profile

A recipient of the 2022 Kansas City Paralegal Association’s Paralegal of the Year Awards, Amanda Cryderman said she feels the proudest when clients call to say how appreciative they are for the work her firm does.

Cryderman manages the mass torts division of the Nash & Franciskato Law Firm. She said she helps clients with everything from intake to case closure, and a big part of her job is client contact and case management.

What led you to choose a career in the legal field?

Honestly, I started fresh out of college as an administrative assistant at our firm, and I wasn’t sure at first that this would be my career. However, over the years I’ve discovered that I love it.

What is the best career advice you’ve ever received?

I think this would apply to just about everything, but my mom always told me to follow your gut. If something feels wrong, then it probably is.


2024 Unsung Legal Heroes: Honorees

Sometimes, the person who does the heavy lifting gets lost in the excitement of the achievement. Sometimes, the person who has provided rock-solid support to help others shine gets left in the shadows, even when the well-meaning successful try to include them.

For the ninth year in a row, Missouri Lawyers Media is honored to celebrate Unsung Legal Heroes, a public recognition that moves a whole bunch of unsung heroes into the sung category.

This award was created to recognize the employees on whom attorneys rely on day-in and day-out to consistently support their efforts.

They are a testament to the Unsung Heroes who work for the cause, not the recognition. They are in every law firm, behind every outstanding attorney with support and focus. And they were nominated by their peers and managers. There are 40 exceptional people (including Amanda) recognized.
