📍 In ZIP 38104
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
I am passionate about seeing people treated fairly. I earned my stripes on some of the toughest cases in Memphis. There is almost no new situation to me in a criminal case in Memphis. Criminal Defense attorneys work more in court than almost any other types of lawyers under impossible circumstances. What is truly important to get results in this business is treating your peers - including opponents and prosecutors - with respect. I know that my behavior reflects on my clients, and I never forget that.. Transitioning to a civil courtroom gives an experienced criminal defense litigator a whole set of extra tools at his disposal. Family law requires a sense of what is important outside the courtroom. How does a broken family move forward? By getting it right the first time so that everyone can move on to start their new lives.

Katherine Oberembt

Firm: Katherine Oberembt Law PLLC
917 S. Cooper St. , Memphis , Tennessee 38104
📍 In ZIP 38104
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
After graduating from Yale Law School in 2012, Katherine Oberembt moved to the Bluff City and began a career defending the people of Memphis and Shelby County. For more than a decade, she has represented clients charged with all levels of criminal offenses, with a particular focus on serious felony charges, including First Degree Murder. Time and time again, Katherine has achieved favorable outcomes for her clients, including dismissals, by filing comprehensive and innovative motions, marshalling expert witnesses in her clients’ defense, and artfully negotiating advantageous settlements. But when negotiation fails, Katherine — a skilled trial lawyer with a history of favorable verdicts, including acquittals — isn’t afraid to take your case to trial.. Any encounter with the criminal legal system is disruptive and disconcerting: Katherine prioritizes communicating with her clients and guiding them through the legal process with empathy and compassion. Katherine knows that every single person who encounters the criminal legal system has dreams, hopes, ambitions, and people who depend on them. Whether appointed or retained, she fights to achieve the outcomes her clients desire and deserve.
