About Catherine
Biography
A San Francisco native and accomplished California-licensed attorney with over 20 years of successful complex discovery and litigation experience, I use the law to provide protection from creditor harassment and advise on strategies to achieve the best outcome for each situation.
I handle Chapter 7 and chapter 13 bankruptcy matters from pre-filing planning through discharge and post discharge litigation. I have litigated in administrative hearings, motions, and trials, and have conducted extensive discovery and hundreds of depositions.
My work has included drafting numerous motions, briefs and interrogatories. I’m a detail oriented, organized and innovative positive thinker who also sees the entire picture.
Admitted to practice in California, the United States District Court for the Northern District and the United States Tax Court.
In addition to the law I’ve investigated and practiced many disciplines to improve and maintain mental acuity, capacity, clarity, quickness and flexibility. From this decade long exploration grew the Save Your Brain Seminars and CD for attorneys.

Cate to the rescue
I contacted Cate for a bankruptcy case and she painstakingly and thoroughly took me through what was for me, a trying process. I would never have faced the challenge alone. We succeeded and am grateful for her expertise. Highly recommend.

High quality legal representation!
I initially contacted Eranthe Law because of the positive reviews online. Cate responded to my inquiry on the website right away and gave me honest advice about my legal situation. Her competence and professionalism came through right away. Bankruptcy ended up being the right choice for me so natural...

"I would recommend Catherine as one of the very best bankruptcy attorneys in the region. She is a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys. This group is dedicated to representing the individual, spouses and small "Mom and Pop" businesses. She, and the NACBA members take a stand against creditor abuse. She will be a great choice of a bankruptcy attorney. You won't be disappointed!"
