About
Maliha Siddiqui
Maliha graduated with honors from the University of Illinois in Chicago and received a Juris Doctor from DePaul University. While in law school, she began her career as a law clerk in the domestic relations division at the Chicago Legal Clinic, a local non-profit organization, and advocated on behalf of clients in domestic violence and divorce proceedings. Since then, she has worked at some of the largest and most prestigious divorce law firms in the country.
Maliha currently serves as the President-Elect of the South Asian Bar Association of Chicago and is an executive board member of the Muslim Bar Association of Chicago. Maliha also provides pro bono services as a Child Representative in Cook County through the Chicago Volunteer Legal Service. Maliha is also a member of the Chicago Bar Association and Illinois State Bar Association.
Maliha strives to build the kind of trust accorded to a family member, meeting people where they are, learning about their families and situations in detail. Although she is always open to and effective at resolution short of trial, Maliha’s courtroom track record is exceptional.
Outside of the legal community, Ms. Siddiqui volunteers her time at PAWS Chicago; she even completed the 2016 New York Marathon to raise funds for the shelter.
