I am the gracious Managing Attorney of the Law Office of Diamond J. Hayes, PLLC. I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. Beginning in my tweenager years, I lived in Kansas and Missouri, graduating from Westport High School in Kansas City, MO. All of my lessons were not learned in a classroom. The mean streets of KCMO taught me a lot and made me strong. In moments of reflection, I can proudly say nothing or no one stopped me from succeeding. This same energy is with me today.
Since the age of four, I told my mother I was going to be a lawyer. As a matter of fact, I told everyone who would listen to me the same. I did all of the hard work to make my dream come true. I had no idea I would be representing people in one of the most difficult times in their life.
I am one of few attorneys who will tell you that they loved law school. Law School is a necessary evil for the greater good. Law School prepared me to help you.
So, here I am today – ready, willing, and able to use my skills to help you in your time of need. Do not sleep on an attorney who will tell you they love the practice of law – Me.
Outside the practice of law, I enjoy cooking, shopping, spending time with friends and family, comedy, and traveling. Lawyers are humans too!
