Katherine Gettys graduated magna cum laude from Erskine College with a degree in history and earned her J.D. from the University of SC School of Law in 1989. She began her career as a judicial law clerk to the state’s first female Circuit Court Judge, followed by four years representing individuals in General Sessions Court as a public defender in Richland and Lexington Counties. From 1995 to 2014, she worked as an assistant general counsel in state government, managing the procurement division of a large agency and handling cases before state and federal administrative entities. Her legal work during this period covered administrative law, circuit, probate, and family courts, as well as employment, contracts, and Freedom of Information Act matters. After retiring from state government practice in 2014, she opened Gettys Law Firm LLC to focus on estate planning and administration. Her approach involves crafting documents based on individual situations and thorough legal research, emphasizing that pre-made online forms may not be legally compliant in SC or adequately address specific family needs. She also acts as a neutral facilitator in mediation, helping parties resolve differences without acting as a client advocate.
