I founded The Law Offices of Chad M. Hayward on the principles of providing exceptional legal services to individuals in need of sound advice and superior legal advocacy.  Personal service is one of the fundamental goals of our firm.  We do not want clients to ever feel that their questions and concerns are being ignored. 

When we take on the obligation of representing a person’s rights and interests, we sit down and analyze every facet of the case.  Based on these facts and the goals and needs of the individual, we will develop a unique legal strategy.  We do not believe in offering one-size fits all representation. 

I have pursued many legal actions in courts throughout Chicago and the surrounding region and most recently had a published opinion that changed policy in federal bankruptcy court.  This means I am knowledgeable about the courtroom procedures, the judges sitting on the bench, and the other attorneys practicing in these courts.  These experiences allow me to navigate the system effectively and efficiently. 

We are prepared to go to court when necessary, but are not going to pursue the most extreme option unless it is in the best interest of the client.  Everything that we do, as well as my former marine training, derives from a focus on fighting for the rights of our clients and protecting their interests.  Serving my clients and helping them formulate a plan that is right for them is one of the many things I do best.
