Cat is one of the founding partners of McCulle Harper PLLC. Her practice focuses primarily on plaintiff-side employment litigation and negotiation, as well as criminal defense and family law. Cat advocates vehemently for her clients, developing an individualized litigation strategy for each case and prioritizes communicating directly with those she represents to best serve their needs. Her creativity, dedication, and spunky personality earned her the respect of her peers and enables her to achieve the best possible outcome for each matter.

She previously worked for a Buffalo firm practicing exclusively plaintiff-side employment law for over a decade where she litigated and negotiated plaintiff-side discrimination claims in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York, NYS Supreme Court, and administrative agencies including the EEOC and the NYS Division of Human Rights.

Hailing from the sunny beaches of Angola, Cat has lived in Western New York her entire life and is proud to fight to protect the rights of those who live and work in this community. When she’s not in the courtroom, Cat stays active playing in local ice hockey and football leagues, hitting the beach, traveling, and adventuring with her Newfoundland, Mortimer.

William began his career in commercial litigation, drafting pleadings and motions, taking depositions, and arguing before the New York State Supreme Court. He went on to serve as an assistant public defender, handling a heavy caseload that included first- and second-chair felony trials, and later represented criminal defendants as assigned counsel.

He then focused on employment discrimination, representing employees from start to finish: before administrative agencies, in New York State Supreme Court and the Appellate Division, Fourth Department, and in federal court.

That range of trial and appellate experience shapes how he serves clients today. William gives every client a candid assessment of their case, stays with them at every stage, and pursues the result that best serves their goals, whether at the negotiating table or in court.
