Katie is the Head of Litigation and a Personal Injury Litigation Attorney at Lawrence & Associates Accident and Injury Lawyers, LLC. Before beginning her career as an attorney, Katie worked full-time as a litigation paralegal for more than three years while attending law school in the evenings. Prior to that, she spent two years working as a health insurance claims analyst, gaining valuable experience in the insurance industry.
Katie attended Northern Kentucky University Salmon P. Chase College of Law, where she was a Henry Clay Merit Scholar and a member of the W. Bruce Lunsford Honors Program. She received the Excellence for the Future Award in Torts I, a distinction directly relevant to her work in personal injury law. During law school, Katie served as an editor of the Northern Kentucky Law Review for two years, and her writing was selected for publication in the March 2021 Symposium Journal. She was also selected as a pupil member of the Salmon P. Chase Inn of Court for the 2021–2022 academic year and volunteered with the Juvenile Court Street Law program. Katie earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from Western Kentucky University, graduating magna cum laude.
Katie has represented hundreds of clients injured in motor vehicle collisions, workplace accidents, recreational accidents, premises liability cases involving slip-and-falls and trip-and-falls, and cases involving exposure to toxic substances. Her experience includes significant verdicts and settlements on behalf of injured clients.
In 2024, Katie secured a $643,170.26 verdict in Ohio for a pedestrian who was struck by a motorcycle and suffered a broken tibia that required multiple surgeries to implant hardware in the leg. In 2026, she won a workers’ compensation appeal in Hamilton County on behalf of an injured worker whose employer had disputed for nearly 10 years whether her mental health condition was related to her workplace injury. The judge ruled that the condition was work-related, securing a long-awaited victory for the client.
Katie has also developed a specialty in representing women who experience sexual dysfunction resulting from injuries caused by another party’s negligence. Most notably, she and Meagan obtained a $500,000 settlement the week before trial for a woman who fell from a horse, suffered a sacral fracture, and experienced sexual dysfunction as a result. Katie and Meagan have represented numerous other women who have experienced similar injuries and symptoms due to another party’s negligence.
Originally from Crestwood, Kentucky, Katie moved to Cincinnati after beginning law school, where she met her husband, Ryan. She now lives in Deer Park, Ohio, with Ryan, their daughter, Nora, and their two cats.
