Catherine Hale, Esq.
Founding Partner — A relentless trial attorney known for rigorous preparation and a record of favorable verdicts in complex commercial litigation.
Catherine Hale founded the firm in 2003 with a simple conviction: clients deserve an attorney who prepares every case as if it will go to trial. Over more than two decades in the courtroom, she has built a reputation for thorough preparation, clear strategy, and the willingness to take a case to verdict when settlement is not in the client's interest.
Catherine leads the firm's litigation practice, representing businesses and individuals in commercial disputes, contract conflicts, and high-stakes civil matters. Her clients value her direct counsel and the confidence that comes from working with an attorney who has tried — and won — cases at every level of the state and federal courts.
