Paige SeBour

As an Auto Accident Paralegal at Catalyst Lawyers, I am committed to providing exceptional case management with a compassionate, client-first approach. I understand that the legal process can feel overwhelming for individuals recovering from an accident, and I believe that every client deserves to feel supported, informed, and treated with empathy throughout their case. My goal is to ensure each client experiences not only efficient legal service but also genuine care during a challenging time.

Before transitioning into the legal profession, I spent more than 33 years in the service industry, including helping lead my family's business. That experience instilled a strong foundation in communication, problem-solving, organization, and client advocacy—skills that have translated seamlessly into my work as a paralegal. It also reinforced the importance of building trust, anticipating clients' needs, and maintaining a calm, solutions-oriented approach under pressure.

I take pride in managing cases with precision, attention to detail, and a commitment to clear communication. By combining strong organizational skills with a compassionate mindset, I strive to make the legal process as seamless as possible while supporting both our clients and legal team in achieving the best possible outcomes.

Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my cats, practicing yoga, and exploring systems, patterns, and the dynamics that shape human behavior and relationships. My curiosity and appreciation for lifelong learning continue to strengthen both my personal perspective and my professional approach to serving others.

Whitney Williams 

I serve as the Office Manager and bring a diverse background in management, customer service, and the legal and real estate industries. I spent 10 years working in the title insurance industry, where I gained valuable experience in real estate transactions, document management, and client relations.

Prior to joining the firm, I worked in hospitality management for eight years, including five years in leadership roles. Those experiences helped me develop strong organizational, operational, and team management skills while maintaining a commitment to exceptional client service.

I am currently pursuing my degree in Paralegal Studies at South University, further expanding my knowledge of the legal field. I take pride in creating an efficient and welcoming environment for our clients while supporting the day-to-day operations of the firm.

Outside of my professional responsibilities, I am passionate about giving back to the community. For the past six years, I have participated in Adopt-a-Family holiday programs, helping provide gifts and support to families in need during the holiday season.
