Estate documents done!

Elder Law and Dementia Planning

Very few law firms in the country focus on elder care navigation and dementia planning. Kim Hegwood’s law firm is one of them, and I am honored to have them as a colleague. They are genuinely dedicated to this specialty and help families navigate this confusing and often emotional area of the law d...aily. I highly recommend working with them!

Business Development

Kim Hegwood is excellent to work with. She is very laid back and makes you feel very comfortable, She has done a will for my husband and I and a irrevocable trust for my parents. Both were great experiences.

Great Job with my estate planning

I am a young mom and went to Hegwood Law Group with no clue about estate planning and the importance of it. I was overwhelmed. The attorneys I worked with were very patient with me and explained things in terms that I understood. They helped me put together an estate plan that I was confident with. T...hey also helped me understand the importance of planning because of my special needs child.
