Attorney Katherine Burns
Katherine Burns is the Principal Attorney and Founder of The Law Offices of Katherine Burns, LLC.
Katherine’s passion for estate planning was ignited in law school while writing an extensive research paper entitled, “Wise Women and Their Wealth: From Gendered Problems to Gendered Solutions” for an elder law class. This experience illustrated the critical importance of women finding their own voice when it comes to protecting their wealth and legacy for future generations. Now a mother herself, Katherine knows first hand the peace of mind having a solid estate plan in place can bring and has devoted her career to delivering that same peace of mind to others.
Katherine’s practice focuses exclusively on estate planning and she prides herself on making the estate planning process seamless for her clients. Katherine is an active member of the State Bar of Georgia Fiduciary Section and Georgia Association of Women Lawyers. She is a magna cum laude graduate of the Georgia State University College of Law and was admitted to the State Bar of Georgia in 2015. While pursuing her J.D., Katherine interned at the ACLU of Georgia, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and served as a Graduate Research Assistant for the inaugural Women Lead program offered by the J. Mack Robinson College of Business. Prior to attending law school, Katherine held research and development positions at a variety of education-based nonprofit organizations, including Teach for America and The Ethel Walker School.
Katherine resides in Alpharetta with her husband, son and their naughty Tonkinese cat. In her spare time, Katherine enjoys practicing yoga/meditation, attending dance performances at Atlanta Ballet, and supporting philanthropic efforts aimed at improving the lives of women and girls.
