About Kaitlyn Richardson

(also known as Katie Richardson)

Attorney Kaitlyn Richardson understands that when you are facing a divorce or custody dispute, you aren't just looking for a legal representative—you are looking for a path forward during one of life's most vulnerable moments. Licensed in both Illinois and Nebraska, Kaitlyn focuses her practice on divorce, child custody, and complex financial issues like dissipation claims. Her approach is rooted in the belief that every client deserves to feel heard and empowered, and she has dedicated her career to providing the steady advocacy needed to turn a period of uncertainty into a foundation for a stable future.

Kaitlyn's journey into the law began at Carthage College, where she graduated with honors in Psychological Science and served as a dependable leader on her mock trial team. Her background in psychology provides her with a unique lens through which to view family dynamics, helping her understand the emotional nuances that often drive legal conflicts. She earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Nebraska College of Law in 2024, where she distinguished herself through her work in the clinical program. It was there that Kaitlyn discovered her true calling: moving beyond the textbooks to solve real-world problems for people in her community.

Before joining the firm, Kaitlyn gained invaluable experience at Copi Law LLC and through her extensive research for the Nebraska State Bar Association's Family Law Section. Her work was instrumental in helping the Bar Association present research to the legislature regarding updates to paternity statutes, demonstrating her commitment to the evolution of family law. Kaitlyn is particularly skilled in uncovering financial discrepancies; she recently successfully litigated a dissipation claim where she meticulously traced funds an ex-spouse had spent on an outside relationship, helping to secure a fair and equitable distribution of assets for her client.

What truly sets Kaitlyn apart is her dedication to training that benefits families in crisis. She has completed comprehensive Mediation and Family Mediation training, which she uses to help parents identify healthy communication patterns and protect their children from high-conflict environments. Her professional passion lies in being a fierce advocate for her clients' goals, whether complex pre-birth planning or guiding a client through the final steps of their first divorce decree.

Now a proud member of the Will County Bar Association, Kaitlyn has embraced the Illinois lifestyle and the accessibility it provides for both work and travel. When she isn't in the courtroom or at the office, she enjoys the simple pleasures of the Chicago suburbs—whether that's getting sushi with friends, crocheting, or getting lost in a good book. She values the importance of a “staycation” to reset and unwind, a perspective that helps her remain a calm, focused, and energized advocate for her clients every single day.
