A shareholder at Wright & Greenhill, P.C., attorney Catherine E. Marsolan boasts a comprehensive litigation practice with a distinct focus on diverse areas such as personal injury, wrongful death, premises liability lawsuits, insurance defense, construction litigation and general civil litigation. Her dedicated service extends throughout Texas, with a particular emphasis on Austin and surrounding areas.
In 2012, Ms. Marsolan achieved academic distinction, graduating magna cum laude from Texas A&M University with a bachelor's degree in political science. Subsequently, she pursued and successfully obtained her Juris Doctor from South Texas College of Law Houston in 2015. Demonstrating her commitment to the legal profession, she was granted admission to practice law in Texas in 2016.
Before becoming part of the Wright & Greenhill, P.C. team, Ms. Marsolan honed her legal knowledge through diverse roles. She served as a plaintiffs’ attorney at a prominent Austin-based personal injury law firm, where she contributed significantly to her clients' cases. Successively, she transitioned to a pivotal role as staff counsel for a leading insurance company, further expanding her legal acumen.
With an unparalleled and invaluable insight into the litigation strategies employed by both plaintiff and defense attorneys, Ms. Marsolan leverages her extensive experience to deliver streamlined representation and expedited case resolutions for her clients. In recognition of her outstanding contributions, Austin Monthly Magazine honored her as a Top Attorney in 2021, 2023, and 2024.
Ms. Marsolan adeptly safeguards individuals and commercial carriers facing wrongful death, personal injury, and Deceptive Trade Practices Act lawsuits. She is proficient in guiding clients through conflict resolution via negotiations and mediation, but when cases cannot be resolved she has an impressive track record of trying and co-chairing numerous jury trials in state court. Her courtroom prowess has consistently resulted in favorable jury verdicts for individual and commercial clients.
Beyond her legal practice, Ms. Marsolan is actively engaged in various professional and community organizations. She is a proud member of the American Board of Trial Advocates, the Austin Bar Association, The Texas Association of Defense Counsel, the Junior League of Austin, and the Texas Bar College.
