Hannah Hayes is a North Carolina native and a proud Tar Heel! After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Hannah attended Washington and Lee University School of Law on an academic scholarship. During law school, Hannah volunteered at the local domestic violence shelter and gained hands-on experience working at multiple prosecutors’ offices. After law school, Hannah returned home to North Carolina and worked as a domestic violence prosecutor in the Wayne County District Attorney’s Office. Although her work was fufilling, Hannah felt that she could better fight injustice on the other side of the aisle. Hannah now owns and operates her own law firm, specializing in criminal defense.

In her free time, Hannah and her husband enjoy attending live music events, barbecuing, and snuggling on the couch with their three-legged rescue animals.
