Kaitlyn I. Furst

Kaitlyn I. Furst is dedicated to providing empathetic and transparent legal guidance, particularly in the areas of family law and client advocacy. Her approach emphasizes compassionate listening and clear communication, values shaped through her experience with trauma-informed lawyering and her clinical work representing low-income clients in custody and Protection From Abuse (PFA) proceedings.

During her time at Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law, Kaitlyn cultivated a record of leadership and excellence. She served as a Teaching Assistant for Family Law, Managing Editor of Technology for the Jeffrey S. Moorad Sports Law Journal, and a student clinician in the Civil Justice Clinic. Her achievements include receiving the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) Eric D. Turner Award for exemplifying the ideals of family law practice and publishing her legal comment, The Doctor is (Not) In: Implications of Increased Medical Malpractice Litigation on Team Physicians in the National Football League. Kaitlyn’s commitment to justice also includes pro bono work through Villanova Law’s Pro Bono Society, specifically serving as Vice President and Site Chair for the Pennsylvania Pardon Project.

A lifelong, invested resident of the Lehigh Valley (her parents first met at Hess’s Department Store on Hamilton Street), Kaitlyn is excited to begin her career serving the community where she was raised. She is proud to volunteer with and provide ongoing support of Wills for Heroes in Lehigh County. Outside of her legal practice, Kaitlyn enjoys reading, fitness, live music, and spending time with loved ones as well as her cat, Nica.
