Kate Hanna
Paralegal
Kate Hanna is proud to be part of the Ford Family Law Team, where she brings a deep commitment to client care and a passion for the legal profession. A graduate of California State University’s paralegal program with a perfect 4.0 GPA, Kate was awarded an academic scholarship from the San Francisco Paralegal Association in recognition of her exceptional writing skills.
Before earning her paralegal certificate, Kate graduated magna cum laude from New York University in 2004, double majoring in Pre-Law and Sociology. Her career path has been anything but ordinary—she’s worked in web design, IT support, and adult education, each experience adding a unique layer to her skill set before she returned to her true calling in law.
Kate’s legal experience spans both employment and family law. She previously supported high-impact class-action cases in employment law, helping secure substantial restitution for affected individuals. Since transitioning to family law in 2020, Kate has found her work especially meaningful, particularly the opportunity to support clients through some of life’s most difficult transitions with empathy and clarity.
Outside the office, Kate is either cheering from the sidelines at her daughter’s soccer games or hiking with her dog, Bagel.
DISCLAIMER: Contacting Ford Family Law, PC (“the Firm”), or any of our attorneys through our website does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the Firm. You become a client of the Firm when (1) the Firm investigates for possible conflicts of interest that would prevent us from representing you, and (2) you sign a written engagement agreement that details the scope of the Firm’s engagement, the fee the Firm will charge, and other relevant matters. Normally, this process takes several days. Therefore, if your matter is urgent, you should not wait for our response to your inquiry. You should instead promptly find and engage another lawyer or law firm so that your rights will be protected.
