Attorney Hayley Graham is a fierce supporter of victims’ rights. She hails from a long line of union tradesmen and has seen firsthand the devastating toll an injury can take on a family.
A tenacious attorney, her advocacy has been recognized by her peers. Hayley has been named a Super Lawyer Rising Star, a distinction given to only 2.5% of attorneys in Illinois, and an Illinois Emerging Lawyer, an accolade given to only 2% of attorneys under 40 practicing less than 10 years.
Prior to starting her own firm, Hayley spent nearly a decade litigating hundreds of injury cases, recovering millions for her clients at a prominent injury law firm in Chicago. The firm was consistently ranked in the top-tier of Best Law Firms by US News & World Report.
Hayley’s commitment to exposing injustice precedes her legal career. Prior to practicing law, Hayley was a journalist and part of an enterprise-reporting team that garnered the top award in Illinois for investigative reporting. Hayley then attended DePaul University College of Law, where she focused her studies on courtroom advocacy.
Hayley is dedicated to fostering our future leaders and the next generation of women lawyers. She spent years on the board of directors for the Women’s Bar Association of Illinois, and currently sits on the board for the organizations Political Action Committee. Hayley has also served as a mentor to DePaul Law students and been a coach for the mock trial team at a local high school. Hayley also volunteers with Chicago Public School seniors to develop college admission and scholarship essays. She attributes her success to mentorship throughout her life, and is committed to paying it forward, giving back to the community.
