Romanucci & Blandin Partner Daisy Ayllón Named 2026 Compassionate Counsel Honoree by The Milestone Foundation

Daisy Ayllón is recognized for her compassionate advocacy on behalf of survivors, families, and individuals harmed by powerful institutions

CHICAGO (July 26, 2026) – Romanucci & Blandin, LLC, a national personal injury firm primarily based in Chicago, is proud to announce that Partner Daisy Ayllón has been named a 2026 Compassionate Counsel Honoree by The Milestone Foundation. The honor recognizes plaintiffs’ attorneys who go above and beyond in serving their clients, combining skilled legal advocacy with compassion, empathy, integrity, and a deep commitment to client well-being. For Daisy, compassion in her legal work means combining fierce advocacy with the empathy and trust needed to guide clients through the pursuit of justice.

Daisy was recognized alongside several other honorees at The Milestone Foundation’s 10-year Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at Avli on the Park in Chicago, Illinois. Founded in 2016, The Milestone Foundation is the nation’s only nonprofit consumer litigation funding provider, offering plaintiffs non-recourse financial support at transparent, reasonable simple-interest rates so financial hardship does not force them into unfair settlements.

Daisy’s work often places her alongside clients during periods of profound trauma, loss, and uncertainty. She is a strong advocate in the courtroom, but what truly sets her apart is the care, patience, and humanity she brings to every client relationship. She works to ensure that every client feels heard, respected, and protected throughout the legal process.

Daisy has played a key role in many significant cases, including a $40 million verdict for a child who was left paralyzed after a botched surgery, a $35 million settlement following a three-week trial for a young girl injured during her birth, and a $15 million verdict against a high school district for failing to protect a male student from sexual abuse by a teacher, during which Daisy served as trial first chair. She was also a member of the legal team representing hundreds of women who were sexually abused by a former Chicago-area OB/GYN.

Beyond the courtroom, Daisy has worked to make legal information more accessible to the communities she serves. A bilingual attorney, she has volunteered with Casa Central and Lawyers in the Classroom and has partnered with organizations including Univision and an American Bar Association commission to provide Spanish-speaking communities with practical information about their legal rights. She is also active in the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, the Illinois State Bar Association, the American Association for Justice, and the Hispanic Lawyers Association of Illinois.
