She has drafted appellate memoranda, argued post-conviction motions and worked on claims involving DCFS proceedings and post-trial relief.

Momal earned her J.D. from the University of Illinois Chicago School of Law, where she served as President of the Health Law Society and the South Asian Law Student Association. She was a Billings, Exum & Frye National Moot Court contestant and focused her coursework on trial advocacy and dispute resolution. She received her B.S. in biology from Roosevelt University.
