Attorney Katherine Goliwas passed the bar in October 2024. Originally from Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania, Attorney Goliwas began with our firm as an intern prior to starting

She attended the University of Dayton, where she graduated cum laude and earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology. While there she was a research assistant focusing on eyewitness memory and identifications during police lineup administration.

Attorney Goliwas earned her Juris Doctorate at the University of South Carolina, graduating in 2024. During her time in law school, she served as a Senior Editor of the Law and Education Journal. In her final semester, she was selected to participate in the prestigious criminal practice clinic, where she worked closely with community members to provide free legal assistance.
