In canon, they have established (via Lynette) that Hayley has used more than one name; although we don't know for certain what is her birth name.
In canon, we know that Hayley got to know Naomi, when Hayley was * claiming * to be a young adult orphan waif named Hayley Lawson - an adult waif persona.
It has not been established where Naomi and Hayley first met? But I think she wanted Bill so she pretended to befriend Naomi. Dani and Naomi "took her in" to the family -- but not as a child -- they didn't adopt/foster her -- they took her into the family circle, something like starting with inviting her to dinner, then more regular visits. Hayley got Dani to mentor her and gradually subtly influenced Dani to convince Bill to hire her.
I honestly don't remember if they said (in canon) when Hayley got paralegal training, if it was something Dani pushed or if it was something she already knew -- I think Dani arranged for Hayley to be certified or whatever or maybe take a class? My memory on this is foggy.
Now here is what I'm only imagining in my head canon:
I'm going to * speculate/assume * that Hayley had already crafted a fake background in legal work. She had knowledge of legal stuff from her years as a con artist. She might actually be 10 years older than she pretends to be? ? This would all be part of her long goal of using Bill as her mark. Just my guesses.
