About the Founder

Katherine, proudly a first-generation college graduate, knows the path to successfully rise above life’s challenges, turning trials into triumphs. Katherine applies the same relentless determination, creativity, and ethical approach to her cases, advocating for the client and telling their story to achieve optimal results, while helping them to avoid costly trials and move forward on their journey.

​

Before founding Phoenix Law PLLC, Katherine spent years in corporate positions serving as general counsel, in-house corporate counsel, and managing compliance-related risks. She has represented individuals in tax controversies with the IRS. And she has been in regulatory oversight positions evaluating compliance programs of some of the largest and most complex financial institutions in the country. Through her experiences, Katherine gained firsthand knowledge of corporations’ strategic decision-making and operational pressures, as well as the varied issues encountered by employees, individuals and consumers.

​

Leveraging her unique experiences and skillset, Katherine now represents individuals and consumers across a range of legal matters, including civil rights, consumer protection, labor & employment law, wage & hour, discrimination, retaliation, harassment, wrongful termination, and whistleblower claims.

 

In addition to representing individuals and consumers, Katherine provides corporate counsel legal services to companies looking for additional legal support. Katherine also offers regulatory consulting services for businesses developing operationally effective compliance programs that reduce risk while promoting fair and inclusive business activities.
