Houston Attorney Kimberly Hegwood focuses exclusively on elder law, asset protection planning, estate planning and closely-related practice areas. She chose these areas because family and care giving have always been the most important aspects of her life.

A mother of three, Kim founded her own practice in the first place so that she would be available for her children when they were young. Her experiences caring for her grandparents provided further motivation to focus on elder law and estate planning. She saw firsthand the difficulties her grandparents faced in being uninformed about Social Security, the lack of effective, up-to-date planning, and countless other challenges that face today’s seniors and accompany the aging process.

These personal experiences, together with her mastery of the law, make Kim uniquely qualified to help seniors, families and individuals plan for the future and cope during times of crisis. She understands what her clients are going through and is dedicated to treating every client with the compassion and respect he or she deserves. Kim derives particular professional satisfaction from providing a range of enhanced services that allow her to offer a fuller, more personalized level of planning.
