About Elise D
Elise D Hayes studied accounting at the University of Oklahoma, earning a B.B.A. in 1998. She stayed at the same campus for law school and received her J.D. from the University of Oklahoma College of Law in 2002. Her academic path combined number-crunching with legal doctrine. That combination has shaped the way she works.
After law school she began practicing in Oklahoma. She was admitted to the state bar and has built a practice rooted in the state’s courts and regulatory landscape. Her background in accounting proved useful early on. It helped her handle matters that required careful review of financial records and precise documentation.
Hayes approaches client work with a focus on clarity. She aims to break complex issues into understandable parts. That often means detailed file preparation, clear written explanations and practical advice that clients can act on. Her training in accounting informs how she reads financial information, budgets and related documents when they appear in legal matters.
She serves as principal of Hayes Law Office, PLLC. The firm operates in Oklahoma and provides representation to individuals and entities across the state. At the office she manages casework, counsels clients and oversees the administrative side of running a small firm. The practice reflects her combined legal and financial background.
Professional membership and continuing legal education are part of her routine. She keeps current on developments in Oklahoma law and maintains connections with colleagues in the local bar community. That ongoing engagement helps her stay familiar with shifts in statutes, rules and court practice that affect clients.
Colleagues describe her work style as deliberate and organized. She tends to prefer predictable procedures and careful record-keeping. These habits show up in how files are prepared, in how she presents documents and in the timelines she sets for clients.
Outside of the office she has continued an interest in the intersection of law and business, a thread that runs back to her accounting studies. She applies that perspective to the legal questions she handles and to the counsel she provides. She concentrates her practice on matters arising under Oklahoma law from her office at Hayes Law Office, PLLC.
