About Mariya
Mariya Furman earned her Juris Doctor from Loyola Law School, Los Angeles in 2009. She attended law school in the late 2000s and entered practice soon after graduation. Her legal education at Loyola provided courtroom training and courses in federal practice that would shape her early career.
She is admitted to practice in California and before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Those admissions signal work that spans state court matters and federal appellate proceedings. Early records show she rose to partnership in 2013 at the firm that now bears her name.
Furman became a partner at Furman & Zavatsky in 2013. The move to partner came within a few years of her law school graduation. At the firm she has handled litigation and filings that require attention to both state procedures and federal appellate rules. Colleagues describe her as methodical in preparing briefs and attentive in oral argument settings.
Her practice touches on matters that call for familiarity with the Federal Circuit’s docket and California trial practice. That combination has led to a mix of trial-level and appellate work. She has represented clients in contested matters that required coordination between state courts and federal appellate counsel. Her courtroom experience includes motion practice, handling discovery disputes and presenting arguments before judges.
Outside of litigation tasks, Furman manages client relationships and supervises case strategy at her firm. She reviews complex filings, mentors junior lawyers and helps set priorities for the firm’s docket. Her role as partner involves balancing client advocacy with the administrative duties of running a small litigation practice.
Those who work with her note a direct approach to case assessment. She tends to break complex problems into discrete legal questions and prioritize efficient paths to resolution. That practical style guides how she evaluates settlement options as well as litigation trajectories.
She currently practices at Furman & Zavatsky, handling matters that arise in California courts and before the Federal Circuit.
