Mariam L. Hafezi
Your Advocate In The Pursuit Of Justice
Mariam is an experienced trial attorney who has spent her entire legal career fighting for plaintiffs and their families in personal injury and wrongful death matters.
Her philosophy is that the clients come first and justice must prevail to the fullest extent possible for every client. Communication is paramount between the clients and the law firm team. Vigorous representation is necessary in all parts of a case, but it must be done right and with integrity. If those are at the forefront of the representation, the results will come.
In her early years, she practiced at a firm that only focused on complex medical negligence cases. She then moved to a law firm that practiced the gamut of personal injury and wrongful death cases, including auto accidents, premises liability, construction negligence, products liability, and medical negligence. She was a partner and owner at her prior firm and now runs her own practice.
Trial Experience: Mariam has first-chaired numerous jury trials to verdict in Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, and Federal Court in Chicago. In November 2022, she secured a record-setting $3.3 million dollar medical malpractice jury verdict involving podiatric negligence, which was the highest podiatric malpractice verdict in the entire country. In 2018, she and her former partner won a record-setting $15.2 million dollar construction negligence jury verdict in Chicago. She has also secured six-figure soft tissue verdicts for her clients in ultra-conservative DuPage County in both auto cases and premises liability cases. Most recently, she obtained a $4 million verdict for the Animal Attacks of an 81 year old woman in Cook County, on behalf of her loving family. The jury awarded exactly what Mariam asked for.
Appellate Experience: Mariam has extensive appellate experience, as well. She has successfully briefed, argued, and won appeals in the First and Second Districts, and has argued before the Illinois Supreme Court in Springfield.
