About Catherine
Biography
I am an attorney with over 30 years of experience in Family Law, including 20 years in private practice and 10 years as a Family Court Magistrate. My goal is to help couples navigate all areas of family law with clarity, compassion, and cooperation—resolving disputes in a way that saves time, reduces cost, and protects what matters most.
My legal and counseling background allows me to guide clients through even the most complex cases with professionalism and care. I have been a frequent lecturer on issues related to Family Law and an adjunct professor at. My work as an appellate attorney has affected positive change in Family law.
Throughout my career, I have remained deeply committed to protecting the rights of children. This dedication earned me recognition as Attorney of the Year by the Fourth Department of the State of New York, honoring my zealous advocacy on behalf of children.

Highly Recommend!
Cate did nothing but great things for my family. Although divorce can be a very difficult time, Cate did her best to find harmony between both sides. Her insight, credentials, and years of experience are truly unmatched in this industry and she is without a doubt one of the top attorneys in the area....
