A Family-Run Law Firm Serving Orange County for Over 65 Years
Led by brothers Norm Katnik Jr. and Kurtis Katnik, our Santa Ana–based firm has spent over six decades providing focused, hands-on legal guidance to injured workers and accident victims throughout Orange County.
Built in Santa Ana Since 1960
Katnik & Katnik Lawyers was founded in 1960 by Andrew P. Katnik and has remained rooted in Santa Ana ever since. From the beginning, the firm focused on representing individuals navigating serious injuries and complex legal challenges.
Over the decades, the firm grew alongside the Orange County community it serves, adapting to changes in the law while maintaining a consistent, experience-driven approach to legal representation.
A Multi-Generation Family Practice
Today, Katnik & Katnik continues as a multi-generation family law firm, carrying forward a tradition of accountability, preparation, and direct attorney involvement.
Katnik & Katnik is intentionally structured as a family-run practice. Brothers Norm Katnik Jr. and Kurtis Katnik are actively involved in both firm leadership and day-to-day case handling.
- Workers’ Compensation Claims
- Personal Injury Accidents.
- Family-Run & Independently Owned.
Because the firm is independently owned and operated, decisions are made in-house, standards remain consistent, and clients know exactly who is responsible for their case. There are no layers of management, no outsourced decision-making, and no pressure to operate as a high-volume practice.
This structure allows the firm to stay focused, responsive, and personally accountable to every client it represents.
A Deliberate Approach
Katnik & Katnik Lawyers takes a deliberate, hands-on approach to legal representation. The firm limits the number of cases it accepts so attorneys remain directly involved at every stage of the process—from the initial consultation through resolution.
Specialized Experience
Clients work directly with attorneys, not intermediaries, and communication remains clear and consistent. By concentrating its practice on workers’ compensation and personal injury law, the firm maintains depth of experience and careful preparation.
