Deidra N. Haynes

Deidra N. Haynes is a passionate and results-driven attorney who focuses her legal practice on family law and personal injury. She has built a reputation for fiercely representing individuals facing life-altering challenges—from serious injuries and mental health issues to complex criminal charges and family disputes. Her mission is clear: to be a strong voice for the voiceless.

Deidra earned her Juris Doctor from Indiana University School of Law, also known as McKinney School of Law in Indianapolis. While pursuing her degree, Attorney Haynes interned with the prosecutor’s office, public defender, and state public defender. These early roles, especially defending individuals facing the death penalty, fueled her passion for advocating for those in need.

After law school, Deidra began her legal career as an employment litigator for Indiana’s largest law firm, where she defended large corporations. Although the work was rewarding, she chose to follow her calling—helping individuals who lacked access to strong legal representation. This decision shaped her future as a committed advocate for the injured and accused.

What sets Attorney Deidra apart is her deep understanding of her clients’ struggles. Having once navigated the legal system herself as a young person, and later as a plaintiff against a major corporation, she brings empathy and authenticity to every case. She knows the fear, confusion, and pain many clients feel—and works hard to deliver justice on their behalf.

Deidra N. Haynes has used her knowledge, courtroom skill, and personal strength to fight for those who often go unheard. Whether handling custody battles, injury claims, or criminal defense, she gives her all to ensure her clients are seen, heard, and supported every step of the way. Her dedication continues to inspire trust and deliver results.
