Katherine’s practice focuses on family and estate matters, criminal defense and civil litigation. Prior to joining Taggart, Rimes & Wiggins, PLLC, Katherine practiced extensively in matters involving child custody, divorce, drafting wills, estate matters, conservatorships, guardianships and appeals to higher courts. Katherine practiced law in Louisville, Kentucky for twenty years before moving to the Mississippi Gulf Coast in 2013.

As a prosecutor from 2004 to 2013, Katherine was often assigned to specialized units of experienced litigators prosecuting felony crimes including assault, robbery, murder, sex crimes, stalking, and child abuse. Her duties as a prosecutor included supervising and mentoring new prosecutors, providing training sessions for law enforcement, coordinating with community partners, and providing guidance to law enforcement regarding investigative matters.

Katherine attended Duke University School of Law where she obtained her J.D. and a M.A. in Philosophy. She and her husband are Alabama natives and met at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. They have enjoyed making the Mississippi Coast their home since her husband became the Rector of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Ocean Springs in 2013.
