About Hayley
Hayley Graham took a straightforward route into the law. She earned a B.A. from Columbia College in 2007 and completed her J.D. at DePaul College of Law in 2012. Those academic years set the stage for a practice grounded in Illinois law.
Her professional record includes both firm and solo practice settings. In 2023 she served as a lawyer at Katz, Friedman, Eisenstein, Johnson, Bareck & Bertuca. She also maintains The Law Office of Hayley K. Graham, LLC, which carries her name and reflects a move into independent practice alongside firm work.
Graham practices in Illinois. She holds memberships in the Illinois State Bar Association, the Kane County Bar Association Lawyers' Referral Service, the Workers Compensation Lawyers Association, and the Women’s Bar Association of Illinois. Those memberships place her in regular contact with colleagues who handle workplace injury claims and related litigation.
Her work has concentrated on workers’ compensation matters and the disputes that flow from workplace injuries. She has handled matters that involve claim preparation, case development and representation in dispute resolution venues typical for these claims. Colleagues describe her approach as pragmatic: she addresses evidentiary issues, timelines, and procedural requirements that often shape outcomes in compensation cases.
Graham combines experience at a regional firm with the autonomy of her own practice. That mix gives her exposure to larger, multi-attorney case management and to the hands-on responsibilities of running a solo office. She continues to be affiliated with local and statewide bar groups, which keeps her connected to developments that affect injured workers and employers alike. She practices in Illinois, handling workers’ compensation matters and related civil litigation.
