Kaitlin has a vivid memory of an elementary school field trip to the Shawnee County Courthouse in Topeka, Kansas. It was here that the seed of desire to become a lawyer was planted.

At Sanders Warren & Russell LLP, she purposefully advocates for her clients in the areas of construction, medical malpractice, catastrophic injury, and general insurance defense litigation. At her previous firm in Denver, Colorado, her focus was on construction defect litigation, legal malpractice, and class-action lawsuits. Recently, Kaitlin was selected as a member of the inaugural Best Lawyers: One to Watch list for 2023.

Kaitlin strives to help her clients navigate what might be the most stressful time of their lives with compassion, civility, and professionalism, which is why she is an active member of the Earl E. O’Connor American Inn of Court: an association that strives to promote excellence in legal advocacy with an emphasis on ethics, civility, professionalism, and legal skills. Her meticulous attention to detail and creative problem solving abilities allow her to develop personalized strategies to achieve the best possible result for each of her clients.

Kaitlin obtained both her Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and Law Degree from Washburn University in her hometown of Topeka, KS. While in attendance she served as Research Editor for the Washburn Law Journal and participated as a competing member of the Jessup International Moot Court team. She holds eight CALI Excellence for the Future awards in Products Liability, Public International Law, Law of Armed Conflict, Federal Indian Law, Admiralty & Maritime Law, Business Associations, Taxation of Individual Income, and Comparative Legal Systems: Constitutional Law.

In her leisure time, Kaitlin enjoys hiking, marathon training, home brewing, and cheering on all teams in Kansas City with her husband and Siberian husky.
