About

Catherine A. Rothenberger, a dedicated personal injury attorney based in Philadelphia, PA, brings an impressive 30 years of combined expertise in nursing and law to Kolsby, Gordon, Robin & Shore, PC. With a specific focus on medical malpractice and catastrophic personal injury claims, Catherine leverages her extensive healthcare background to advocate fiercely for injured patients and their families. Before embarking on her legal career, Catherine honed her skills in pediatric and neonatal care within some of Philadelphia’s top hospitals. This firsthand experience in the medical field ignited her passion for supporting patients who have suffered from medical errors due to negligence. Her unique perspective allows her to navigate the complexities of medical records and health care systems, providing invaluable insights that strengthen her clients’ cases. Catherine understands the profound emotional and financial toll that personal injury cases can take on families, especially those involving children. Having worked extensively in pediatric intensive care, she is particularly committed to helping families facing the challenges that arise from birth injuries, including those caused by inadequate fetal monitoring and mishandled delivery procedures. It is her unwavering dedication to these families that drives her to ensure they receive the legal representation necessary to reclaim their lives. Transitioning from nursing to law, Catherine initially worked with defense firms representing major hospitals and insurers. However, she soon realized that her true calling lay in fighting for the victims of medical malpractice. Now, as a passionate plaintiff’s attorney, she finds fulfillment in empowering her clients, guiding them through the intricate intersections of medicine and the legal system. Outside of her legal practice, Catherine actively contributes to her community as a member of the advisory board for St. Basil the Great Catholic School in Phoenixville, PA, and serves as a Eucharistic Minister at her local parish. On Sundays, she dedicates her time to visiting sick or injured members of her community, embodying her commitment to care and support beyond the courtroom.
