Upon earning her Juris Doctor in 1994 from the University of Alabama, Kathryn returned to Birmingham and began prosecuting cases for the Jefferson County District Attorney’s office as a Deputy D.A. After several years of practice with the D.A.’s office, Kathryn began practicing civil law as in-house counsel for a national insurance company. As in-house counsel, Kathryn’s practice focused on the representation of businesses and employers in Worker’s Compensation suits.
