About Caterina Sorrento
Caterina attended the University of Baltimore School of Law where she recently graduated summa cum laude in the top 6% of her class. When she joined the team in 2021 as a law student, Caterina quickly realized that Evans Law was the ideal place to nurture her passion for contract law and form meaningful connections with clients.
Over her two years at the firm, Caterina has acquired expertise and gained ample experience carrying out transactional and litigation matters regarding real estate, construction, and land use. With ample support from her co-workers, Caterina accepted a post-graduate position at the firm as a senior law clerk. She hopes to transition into a new role as an associate attorney, pending completion of all licensure requirements and admission to the Maryland Bar.
Prior to attending law school, Caterina earned a B.S. in Criminal Justice from Stevenson University and began her career as a government contractor working under the Department of Defense. As a law student, Caterina juggled various leadership roles in conjunction with her academic responsibilities. She served as both a law scholar (a position afforded to upper-level students with proven academic skills in foundational law courses,) and Head Legal Writing Fellow in the school’s Legal Writing Center (a resource aimed at fostering peer-driven academic support for various aspects of legal writing).
Caterina spent several summers assisting civil legal aid programs to provide pro bono and low bono legal services to Maryland residents. As an advocate for equal access to justice for all, Caterina is grateful that Evans Law is committed to the betterment of the Annapolis community and intends to continue serving Marylanders alongside her colleagues.
Outside of the office, you can find Caterina running by the Baltimore Harbor with her husky-mix, Skye, or petting her cats, Pepper and Petrie. When she finds the time, Caterina also enjoys visiting her home state, New York, to see her family. They might root for different teams, but Caterina and her partner Jeff love catching a couple of O’s/Yankees games during baseball season and enjoy cheering for the Los Angeles Rams together during football season.
