Catherine M. Doyle

Cathy Doyle graduated from The Duquesne University School of Law in 1997 and began her legal career as a judicial clerk with the Pennsylvania Superior Court. Cathy’s practice is concentrated in the areas of Collaborative Law, Divorce, Support and Custody and related matters.

While Cathy Doyle has over 13 years of litigation experience, she has also received advanced training in Collaborative Law and is a member of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals and the Collaborative Professionals of Northwest Pennsylvania.

“At the end of the day, many individuals who go through litigation are exhausted and confused by the process. The collaborative law model empowers divorcing couples and enables these individuals to actually contribute to the resolution of important issues such as custody, support and finances without court intervention.”

We are a law firm focusing on the varied legal issues surrounding marriage and children.

Attorneys Melissa H. Shirey, Melissa L. Pagliari and Catherine M. Doyle have approximately 20 years combined experience representing clients throughout Northwestern Pennsylvania, in Erie, Crawford, Warren and Mercer counties, at the trial and appellate levels. They handle a full range of practice areas including divorce, support, custody, adoption, dependency, paternity, guardianship, assisted reproduction, pre- and post-nuptial agreements, name change and cohabitation agreements. Family law matters can be extremely difficult for an individual. We strive to keep our clients fully informed about their legal matters, to involve our clients in all decisions regarding the direction of their case and to provide clients with options that meet their needs.
