About Katrina
Katrina Hildebrandt built her academic foundation at Central Michigan University, earning a Bachelor of Science in 1999. She then attended Indiana University Maurer School of Law and received her J.D. in 2002. Those years shaped her early trajectory in law and public benefits work.
She joined Hensley Legal Group, PC in 1999 and has remained connected to legal practice in Indiana since then. Her path through school and practice overlapped in ways that gave her both classroom training and practical experience. She is admitted to practice in Indiana and handles matters across the state.
Hildebrandt has membership in the National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives. That affiliation places her among other attorneys who represent clients in Social Security disability matters. She participates in the organization’s continuing education offerings and keeps current on administrative procedures and appellate developments.
Her work centers on representing individuals who seek Social Security disability benefits and related administrative appeals. She prepares applications, files appeals, and appears at hearings before administrative law judges. She also handles follow-up matters that arise after initial decisions, including requests for review and federal court appeals when needed.
Colleagues describe her approach as steady and practical. She takes routine but important steps: gathering medical records, coordinating with treating providers, and explaining often-complex procedural deadlines to clients. Those details drive much of the day-to-day work. She balances paperwork and client contact in a practice that requires both legal knowledge and attention to personal circumstances.
Outside casework she maintains connections to local legal circles and the national claimant representative community. She attends trainings and contributes to the exchange of best practices among practitioners who handle disability claims. That engagement helps her keep pace with evolving policies at the Social Security Administration.
Hildebrandt’s background in both academic settings and practice informs how she manages cases today. She continues to represent individuals pursuing Social Security disability benefits and related appeals in Indiana.
