About
About Catherine
Catherine grew up in Taylor and spent her first years as a lawyer at a large Austin firm, where she saw how much confusion a vague will could cause a grieving family. She opened the Georgetown office in 2011 to do this work differently: clear documents, flat fees, and plenty of time for questions.
Her practice is wills, trusts and probate. Families often meet her twice: once to plan, and years later when a parent dies and the children need someone steady to walk them through the court process.
Outside the office she teaches a free “Wills 101” evening class for local nonprofits, and she can usually be found on the river trail on Sunday mornings.
