Appeals lawyer | Jun 29

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Katherine is one of the most intelligent and hard-working attorneys I have ever met. After graduating at the very top of our class at Georgetown University Law Center and editing the Law Review, Katherine clerked for the prestigious Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and worked for a preeminent law firm in California. Now the managing partner of Mayer Mangan, PLC, Katherine provides her clients with unparalleled legal services in civil appeals matters. If there is a difficult or complex legal issue, especially in the most high-stakes appeals, Katherine powerfully utilizes her legal acumen to cut through the complexities and successfully advocate for her clients' positions. Her clients could not possibly be in better hands and I highly recommend her."

She also demonstrated a tireless work ethic and always conducted herself with integrity. Suffice it to say, she provided the highest quality representation to our client. I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Mayer for any appellate matter."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
