Katherine (Katie) Johnson
___From a very early age, I knew I wanted to be a lawyer. Over time, my natural talents reinforced this desire and law school was a simple choice. However, selecting the type of law I wanted to practice was much more difficult. Having experience working in the intensive care unit of a hospital and the special education department of a high school, I worked extensively with families at difficult and sensitive times, and know that a dedicated advocate can be crucial at trying moments. I knew I wanted to continue to have that kind of positive impact on people’s lives, but couldn’t find the niche that would allow me to use my personal and litigation skills in a way that would make that difference. After taking my first family law class, I knew I had found my place.
___I completed my Bachelor of Arts at the University of Missouri-Columbia in 2002 with a Major in Psychology and a Minor in English. I completed my Juris Doctorate at Chicago-Kent College of Law in 2006, and my Master of Laws in Family Law is presently in progress at Chicago-Kent. While at Chicago-Kent, I received CALI Excellence for the Future awards in Trial Advocacy and Advanced Litigation Strategies. I was admitted to the Illinois Bar in 2006, but began working in the family law field well before that time. My first position was working as a law clerk for a Domestic Relations Judge in Cook County in 2004. I then moved to private practice with Nottage and Ward, L.L.P. in 2005.
___I joined The Law Firm of Wendy R. Morgan in July, 2010. My clients can expect a highly organized and committed advocate. I make sure that my clients are consulted, informed, and involved in each step of this process. My passion for family law means that clients receive both my sensitive attention in the office, and unwavering advocacy in the courtroom. The field of family law can be a highly emotional and difficult road to travel. I believe that my guidance will ensure that you always remember that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and that you get to that place sooner rather than later.
