About Kathleen

Kathleen Musgrave Farinas, known simply as "Kathy", is an associate attorney with George & Sipes. Kathy has been a member of the Indiana Bar since 1997. After practicing employment and civil rights litigation in the Indianapolis area, she joined George & Sipes in the Fall of 2000.

Growing up in the heartland of Indiana, Kathy was instilled at a young age with a strong work ethic, a sense of loyalty, devotion, and undying commitment to the compelling causes she undertakes. Kathy is driven to make a difference in the lives of those who have been injured or victimized. Her advocacy for social change, equality and justice has greatly impacted the lives of those she has and continues to represent.

Kathy is actively involved in all phases of asbestos and catastrophic personal injury litigation including client outreach, liability discovery, case-work-up, mediation, trial preparation, and trial. Choosing to pursue a career in the legal arena over a medical career, she now ironically works closely with medical experts involved in the field of asbestos disease and injury to assure the highest quality treatment opportunities for our clients.

Kathy has actively participated in the litigation and trials of numerous mesothelioma and asbestos-related injury cases which resulted in significant recoveries for the injured and their families. Her participation in landmark Indiana trials includes multi-million dollar Plaintiff verdicts in the first premises liability and first contractor liability cases for Indiana mesothelioma victims.

In addition to litigating asbestos personal injury actions, Kathy has served as counsel in numerous catastrophic injury, medical malpractice, pharmaceutical and toxic tort cases. Her attention to detail and ability to gather and prepare evidence for the trial have served her clients and colleagues well no matter the legal issue involved.

Kathy presently lives in Indianapolis with her husband, Michael. Married since 2004, Kathy and Michael enjoy time together, outdoor activities, home renovation, and traveling.
