Early in her career, Catherine practiced criminal and civil rights law and was engaged in high-profile matters including some of the most significant police misconduct cases in the city of Los Angeles. Motivated by her involvement in these matters, Catherine has built a diverse practice where she applies her legal knowledge to broad legal advisory and litigation work.
