About Catherine D. Meehan

Catherine "Catie" Meehan combines her nursing background with her legal expertise to advocate for individuals injured at work or in their personal lives. Her previous role as a pediatric nurse at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) for three years before pursuing law gives her a distinct advantage in understanding her clients' medical needs. As a licensed RN, Catie provides empathetic and informed representation.

Clients value Catie's transparent communication and her realistic approach to case outcomes. She is a dedicated advocate who understands the impact of workers' compensation and personal injury cases on her clients and their families. Catie assists her clients with obtaining medical treatment, securing weekly compensation checks, and navigating partial and total disability benefits. Her commitment ensures clients receive consistent workers' compensation payments and uninterrupted medical care.

Catie holds a B.A. in psychology from the University of Notre Dame and a B.S. in nursing from MUSC. Her transition from nursing to law was driven by a desire to assist patients in a legal capacity.

During law school, Catie was honored with the Founder's Award for Professionalism in Advocacy and served as Student Works Editor of the Charleston Law Review. Her publications include articles on human tissue property rights and a study on NFL concussion litigation, proposing a victim relief fund for former players with neurological injuries.
