Kathryn Pawlick

Attorney & Owner (She/Her)

Hello, I’m Kathryn—and welcome to Pawlick Law.

Whether you’re celebrating new beginnings or facing unseen challenges, the weight of the decision-making can be daunting.

At these crossroads, the need for clear answers, understanding, and guidance become paramount.

Collaborating for Your Peace of Mind

Joining forces with my clients, we redefine the estate planning experience. It's not just about legalities; it's about ensuring your loved ones and assets are protected with a compassionate touch. Together, we transform your concerns into clear, actionable plans, illuminating the path to securing your legacy. It's a journey that turns your aspirations into reality, ensuring your estate plan deeply resonates with your values, bringing not only peace of mind but a profound sense of accomplishment.

In crafting estate plans and guiding families through estate administration both in and out of probate, I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. I understand the far-reaching consequences of inadequate planning or a failure to plan. Coming from a family of educators, my priority is to help my clients understand how an estate plan can work for them so that they can make informed decisions based on their values, budget, and concerns.

Legal Expertise Meets Compassion

Beyond merely acting as an attorney, I'm your personal navigator through the complexities of running a business. My approach is to infuse every step with empathy and advice, tailored as intricately as your own company.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of counseling businesses across a wide range of industries – from small family-owned companies to large national brands, nonprofit organizations, and municipal corporations. My experiences span business contracts and litigation, trademarks and trade secrets, website and social media privacy, advertising compliance, commercial real estate, and government contracting. My background enriches the legal counsel I provide. Your success is my priority, and I’m committed to ensuring that the legal strategies we develop are not only sound but also responsive and forward-thinking.

Your Personal Advocate

My commitment to compassion and care goes beyond the legal framework; it's about providing a guiding hand during your most challenging moments, ensuring not just legal protection but emotional support and understanding. This commitment shapes every interaction at Pawlick Law, turning legal planning into a process of healing and empowerment.
