Biography

Katherine "Kate" Bihm, previously known as Katherine Shipman, emerged as a prominent figure in Montgomery County's legal scene during her candidacy for the judge of the 9th District Court in the 2016 Republican primary. She practiced law under her maiden name until her run for office, where she became popularly known by the catchphrase, "Vote for Bihm, not for him." To accommodate the growth of her firm and to simplify how clients and supporters could connect with her, her practice was renamed from Katherine Shipman, PLLC, to The Bihm Firm, PLLC, in September 2016.

Kate's career foundation was solidly built during her three years as an assistant district attorney, where she was immersed in the intense environment of the criminal justice system. Her responsibilities included trying numerous bench and jury trials, evaluating thousands of criminal cases, and issuing arrest warrants, all while deepening her understanding of criminal law. The turning point in her career came after a particularly challenging jury trial, where a juror expressed that they would want Kate representing their family member if ever needed. This interaction was pivotal as it underscored Kate's emerging passion for advocating on behalf of individuals and inspired her to start her own practice in Conroe, aiming to offer practical advice, truthful counsel, and vigorous representation.

As the demand for her services expanded, Kate began to incorporate family law into her practice. She now offers a compassionate and committed approach to various family law issues, such as divorce proceedings, child custody, child support, and the protection of business assets through marital transitions. Her services also cover drafting prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, establishing paternity, and assisting victims of domestic violence in obtaining protective orders. Choosing Kate as your legal counsel means placing your trust in her profound knowledge and extensive courtroom experience.
