About Catherine L
Catherine L Fenton has spent her career practicing law in Maine after completing an undergraduate degree at Bates College and earning her law degree from the University of Maine School of Law. She is a familiar presence in local legal and civic circles, known for steady involvement in bar governance and community organizations.
Her academic path began at Bates, where she completed her undergraduate studies before moving on to the University of Maine School of Law. Law school grounded her in New England practice traditions and prepared her for a legal career centered in the state. Those formative years set the stage for a steady progression into local legal work and association leadership.
Early in her career Fenton took on roles within the Hancock County Bar Association, serving as secretary from 1998 to 2005. That period saw her handling administrative duties for the county bar while also maintaining a private practice. She later joined the Ellsworth Noontime Rotary Club and participated there from 2008 until 2013, balancing community involvement with professional responsibilities.
In recent years she has been active in statewide bar governance. Fenton is a current member of the Maine Board of Overseers of the Bar, serving at large on that body. Her work on the board places her in conversations about professional standards and the regulation of legal practice in Maine. She has continued to participate in local and state-level legal affairs rather than stepping away into purely private practice.
Fenton practices at Jones, Kuriloff & Sargent, LLC. At the firm she handles a range of matters for clients in the state, drawing on long experience in Maine courts and administrative processes. Colleagues describe her as steady and thorough in courtroom and office settings, and she remains engaged in the kinds of procedural and client-facing work that mark much of local practice.
Over the years her public service and bar work have been a consistent thread alongside her casework. She has balanced association leadership roles with ongoing legal practice, keeping a presence in the institutions that shape the state bar. Her current practice at Jones, Kuriloff & Sargent, LLC centers on legal matters arising in Maine.
