Kathryn Liebhaber is driven by her desire to make a positive impact on the lives of her clients. Kathryn’s straightforward approach and thorough preparation instill her clients with confidence that she will be a dedicated and zealous advocate on their behalf.
Kathryn has keen negotiation skills that bring many cases to conclusion without the need for litigation. However, when negotiations fail, she has a sincere love for the courtroom.
Kathryn’s expertise in estate planning and administration helps individuals and families prepare for the future through the use of wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and other means and will caringly navigate her clients through the complex probate process. Her practice also includes representing clients in divorce, custody, child support, alimony, Protection from Abuse, grandparent rights, and the unique needs of LGBTQ clients.
Kathryn honed her litigation skills as a certified legal intern through the University of Pittsburgh School of Law Family Law Clinic where she represented indigent clients in family law matters.
After law school, Kathryn was a law clerk for the Honorable David W. Addy in the Court of Common Pleas of Carbon County, Pennsylvania. Following her clerkship, she went on to practice family law exclusively for over 10 years in the Lehigh Valley and surrounding areas. She also was frequently appointed as an arbitrator in Carbon County for a variety of civil matters. Due to her extensive experience in family law, she was selected to be the Divorce Review Officer for the Honorable Daniel K. McCarthy, Interim Judge for the Court of Common Pleas of Lehigh County.
Kathryn recently relocated to Bucks County where she was born and raised. Since her return, she has broadened her practice to more varied civil litigation in both the State and Federal Courts. Her love of learning and desire to further her legal acumen drew her to joining Weber Kracht & Chellew in 2020.
Kathryn graduated from the University of Maryland and went on to earn her Juris Doctor from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law in 2005. She is admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.
When she is not working, Kathryn enjoys music (especially live), curling up with a good book, fishing, and has a special passion for ballet, which she studied for over 14 years.
