Q&A with Anthony J. Catena
What motivates you to work in your field?
I am motivated to work in the field of family law because I get to make a tangible impact on the lives of real people and that which is most important to them – family and finances. There is nothing more satisfying in this line of work then to watch a client change and grow throughout the life of their case, and to emerge a new, hopefully better, version of themselves once their case is final.
How do you work with clients?
I try to put myself in client’s shoes and acknowledge that this is not just a case file – it’s their life. I actively listen, make sure I am on the same page as the client with respect to their goals, and I try to be as proactive as possible as their case progresses to check-in, adjust strategy, and continue to make sure the client’s objectives are being met every step of the way.
How do you personalize your counsel?
