Biography

Hayden is Of Counsel with Hirsch & Ehlenberger and is proud of his work helping individuals and their families throughout Northern Virginia and the District of Columbia.

Hayden is adept at resolving all types of family law disputes through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and the Collaborative divorce process. When necessary, Hayden draws on extensive litigation experience and diligent preparation to provide effective advocacy in court.

Hayden has significant experience representing individuals in military divorces, international and multi-state jurisdiction cases, high net worth disputes, contract enforcement and rescission disputes, custody disputes involving children with special needs or disabilities, cases involving parties with alcohol, substance abuse, or mental health problems, as well as complicated equitable distribution and spousal support matters.

Hayden regularly prepares and negotiates prenuptial agreements for all types of clients, and also frequently advises clients participating in mediation with third-party mediators.

Hayden has received accolades from clients and attorneys alike. He was selected to Super Lawyers in 2024 and 2025 – an honor reserved for only 5% of attorneys – and was previously named as a Super Lawyers “Rising Star” from 2018 to 2022. He has also been rated “AV Preeminent” – the highest Martindale-Hubbell attorney rating for professional excellence – by fellow attorneys in Virginia and the District of Columbia.

He is currently the co-chair of the Fairfax County Circuit Court Domestic Relations Subcommittee, which works to improve family law court practice and procedure. He is also a former a board member of numerous bar groups, including the Fairfax Law Foundation, the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association (as former Chair of the Young Lawyers Division), the Collaborative Professionals of Northern Virginia, and the District of Columbia Academy of Collaborative Professionals.

Immediately after law school, Hayden was privileged to complete a one-year, full-time judicial clerkship for two Virginia Circuit Court judges. Since that time, Hayden has engaged exclusively in private practice.

When he’s not practicing law, Hayden enjoys spending time with his family, cooking, collecting vinyl records, and cheering for the Virginia Cavaliers.
