Bio
John V. Cattie, Jr. was born in Philadelphia, PA and grew up outside Charlotte, NC. John graduated from Charlotte Latin School and attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in International Studies with a focus on Political Science as well as a minor in History. After graduation he attended Villanova University and received his JD/MBA. John joined Garretson Resolution Group (GRG) in 2008 to launch its MSA group. It was while working at GRG that John recognized a simple but important fact: while there were a lots of folks around the country that “did MSAs” and a lot of them had lawyers working for them, no one was providing clients with the legal advice they needed most, no one was providing clients with legal advice about their MSA exposure. John set out to change that.
In late 2016, he returned to the private practice of law and opened Cattie, PLLC, a law firm whose mission was to extinguish a client’s future medical exposure under the Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) Act. By providing legal advice about what Medicare’s rights of recovery were under federal law and what a client’s obligations were under the MSP Act, John’s firm was unique in that clients could obtain MSA legal advice and rely on that and that alone as the means of resolving a case and closing the file.
Today, John is the Managing Member of Cattie & Gonzalez, PLLC. Along the way, John has become one of the nation’s most well-respected names in the MSA industry. He has become a nationally known author and speaker, experienced in all components of MSA law and procedure. He has personally reviewed or overseen the review of over 13,000 distinct fact patterns, saving clients more than $75 million in MSA exposure.
