About Kathryn
Biography
Growing up in Chicago, some of my favorite family stories were of my Great Aunt Bert, the Lawyer. Albertine Hathaway was born in the 1870s, passed the Illinois State Bar in 1903 and died 6 months before I was born. By all accounts she was quite a character. Deep inside I always wanted to be like her: a lawyer and a character. I prepared for my role as character by earning my B.A. in Vocal Performance. Upon graduation in 1975, I toured with a national touring company of “1776”. In 1978, realizing that I had to eat and feed my child, I gravitated naturally to the legal field, starting as a receptionist in a Boca Raton law firm and rising to paralegal. I was encouraged by my employers to go to law school, so I headed to Tallahassee with my 6 year old son in tow for law school and graduated in 1986.
My career goal was always to have a small private practice serving real people, helping them solve real problems. Over the years I have created an environment where I can serve clients my way: with excellence, imagination and compassion. After all these years, I’m still excited to come to work in the morning. I love what I do.
My partner, attorney Wayne Sprague, and I bring our cats Boris and Natasha Badenov to work each day – therapy cats for the clients, staff and attorneys. We work hard to make sure the we find the best possible outcomes for clients who find themselves in frightening and unfamiliar situations. We enjoy helping our clients develop a picture of a better way of living on the other side of the current legal challenge. Over the past 25 years, I have helped thousands of clients work through legal challenges and find a better life on the other side.
I like to think Aunt Bert would be proud.

Posted by Alan | August 03, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Highly Recommended
I was hesitant about going through the process of Chapter 13 bankruptcy but Kathryn Hathaway explained the process thoroughly. After our initial consultation, I knew I had made the right decision to do this and in choice of attorney to guide me through it. Now, five years later, I'm so glad Kathryn...
Kathryn Ann Hathaway's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse Kathryn Hathaway. She makes it her mission to help her clients through the financial and emotional turmoil of bankruptcy and to rise like the Phoenix. She is not only an excellent attorney, but also is generous and caring person who is genuinely concerned about the well being of her clients."
"Kathryn represents debtors in bankruptcy cases, I represent creditors, and we have both done this for many years. In the numerous cases we have had together, Kathryn has always been well prepared, accessible, and a pleasure to deal with, even in adversarial situations. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking competent counsel in consumer bankruptcy cases."
"I endorse this lawyer. She is diligent, persistent, caring, and an excellent attorney."
"Kathryn Hathaway is the lawyer I send my own clients to when they need a bankruptcy expert. I’ve been sending them to her for years, and I receive no compensation for this; I do it because Kathryn is the best. I represent victims of employment discrimination; many have been wrongfully fired, are at risk of losing everything, and must consider bankruptcy as an option. It is a deeply-emotional time, and they need someone who’s part counselor, part therapist, and an expert in bankruptcy law. The feedback I get from my own clients is extremely positive. Kathryn wonderfully walks you through the entire process - how it works, what it does, and how to successfully move forward. She is there every step of the way. For me, the ideal bankruptcy lawyer provides both expert guidance and peace of mind. For people in financial distress, Kathryn is solid gold – the best in her field, well-known by the legal community and highly-respected by judges."
