 CATHERINE L. W. MARKEL

Attorney at Law

Dedicated Legal Services

At my firm, you will receive one on one, personal attention as you work through your legal situation. I listen to my client's goals, fears, and challenges with empathy and knowledge. My goal is to provide legal guidance, while also empowering my clients. I want to make sure my clients understand the processes they are a part of and feel confident in their decisions. 

Areas of Practice

Wills & Trusts

Planning for your property and family can be confusing. We will meet and discuss your concerns and how you want the future to look for those who you leave behind. The goal is to give you peace of mind that things will be easily handled. 

Dependency Law

​Having your children removed from your care is one of the scariest scenarios imaginable. Where will they go? Are they safe? How do I get them back? These are all issues that I will walk through with you.

HH

Family Law

​Family disputes can be burdensome and heartbreaking. Let me do the hard negotiations and help you achieve your goals as a spouse, partner, or victim. All persons have the right to feel safe and secure. 

Criminal Law

Keeping your freedom and avoiding costly consequences are the most important parts of criminal law. We will go through all scenarios so you can make the best decision about how to handle the charges against you. 

About Catherine

Committed to Excellence & Empathy

My family and I moved to Whidbey Island in 2024.  I immediately fell in love with the island. I obtained my bar license here in Washington and am looking forward to practicing here as well.   I love hiking, paddling, horses and dogs.  I still visit and practice in Southern California, after living and practicing there for over 15 years.
