About Katherine
Biography
Hillsborough is a wonderful place to work and to live. While my law practice extends to surrounding counties like Durham and Person, I spend a significant amount of time here in Orange County, in my office, at the Courthouse, or at the soccer field with my three boys. My goal and hope as a lawyer is to help my clients and to contribute to my community. I am lucky enough to practice with some great lawyers at Coleman, Gledhill, Hargrave, Merritt & Rainsford. Don't hesitate to call if we can be of any assistance.

Katherine Thrall Merritt's Lawyer Endorsements
"Katie is an excellent and extremely knowledgeable attorney and one that I trust implicitly -- In fact I have sent my family to her for all of of their estate questions and needs."
"Katie is a fine person and tremendous lawyer with an extensive and growing probate practice in Orange County. I would not hesitate to recommend my own family's estate matters to her competent hands. I highly recommend this lawyer."
"Without exaggeration, Katie is one of the most knowledgeable, effective, organized, and detail-oriented lawyers I have ever met. She works as hard as anyone that I know. Every client I have seen her work with has been like her neighbor, friend, or family. She is routinely there for me whenever I need help, advice, or guidance. Her approach to the practice of law is a consistent example of what I strive to achieve. I could not be more lucky to work for someone like Katie."
"Katie is a highly respected estate planning and probate attorney, and for good reason. My practice involves the need to often research old and current estate files, and when I come across one with Katie's name in it I rest easy knowing the estate was handled by an extremely competent attorney who gives that attention to detail so vital to this type of transactional work. Believe me, the same cannot be said about all attorneys. I highly recommend this attorney."
