Tanya Fajardo

Our Lawyer: Tanya Fajardo

Attorney Tanya I. Fajardo has practiced law since 2007. Ms. Fajardo has a general law practice, handling the areas of immigration and family law. She earned her Juris Doctor at Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Lansing, MI, and earned her B.A. in International Business at Loyola University in Chicago, IL. She is a member of the Illinois Bar and Texas Bar. She also belongs to the American Immigration Lawyers Association, Hispanic Lawyers Association of Illinois, and the National Association of Professional Women.

Before starting her own law practice, Ms. Fajardo worked as an associate at a Chicago law firm that specialized in workers compensation and personal injury. She successfully represented petitioners in arbitration at the Illinois Workers Compensation Commission. Ms. Fajardo also worked as a staff attorney for the Fair Housing Center of Lake County. She represented clients who faced housing discrimination and filed complaints on their behalf with the Department of Home and Urban Development and Illinois Department of Human Rights. Ms. Fajardo also assisted low income clients and volunteered her services to organizations, such as Salvation Army and Catholic Charities. Ms. Fajardo has gained extensive experience in the law, business, and dealing with people involved in very stressful situations.

Ms. Fajardo is Guatemalan American and is fluent in Spanish. Her parents immigrated to the United States in 1967. As the daughter of two immigrant parents, she saw firsthand how difficult it was to start a new life in another country. This is why she had decided to add immigration law to her areas of practice in order to reach out to those who need assistance in obtaining legal status in the United States. Ms. Fajardo has always been active in the Latino community, and has a true passion for helping Latinos who are in need of legal representation.
