As part of the third generation of lawyers, Cate Funkhouser has the practice of law in her blood. Growing up with a father and grandfather who practiced law in small-town Kansas, Cate has a special appreciation for entrepreneurs and small business owners. Cate’s clients can feel her passion for their success and they often call on her for legal advice and to be their listening ear. Cate works with her clients to help them develop and adhere to best practices to avoid litigation. In the event that litigation does occur, Cate is experienced and skillful in a courtroom, judge’s chambers, mediation, and arbitration.
Cate is a lifelong learner and having clients in multiple industries gives her the opportunity to research and grow her arsenal of knowledge. Her clients, most closely held businesses, are in manufacturing, oil and gas, financial services, and construction.
Growing up in a family of lawyers, Cate recognizes that it is an honor to have her clients refer to her as “my lawyer”. She also knows that earning that title is a result of responsive and efficient client service combined with a track record of litigation success.
