Debra S. Katz (62) is a civil rights and employment attorney, and a founding partner of the law firm Katz, Marshall & Banks in Washington, D.C. She is known for representing alleged victims of sexual assault and sexual harassment in high-profile cases — notably Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, Vanessa Tyson, and Chloe Caras, plus accusers of Congressmen Pat Meehan and Eric Massa. She also represents whistleblowers facing retaliation, including most recently Dr. Rick Bright.
Quote: “Since then, [New York governor Andrew Cuomo] has lied publicly over and over again in an attempt to walk back his original admission. Realizing his admission was insufficient to quell the public’s growing calls for accountability, he has since resorted to belligerent lies and a Trumpian refusal to stick to a single set of facts. He has also demonstrated a jaw-dropping ignorance of the sexual harassment law he signed into effect — without great fanfare — suggesting that his behavior is fine because he never meant to make women feel uncomfortable.”
