As an estate planning attorney in Colorado, Catherine Hammond provides estate and tax planning services to individuals and businesses. Ms. Hammond’s primary focus is preserving family harmony and passing what’s most important to your loved ones, including your financial capital and your human capital, what she calls your TrueWealth^SM.

Her legal focus is protecting families from the devastating legal effects of disability and death through creating comprehensive, values-based estate plans which minimize taxes, costs, and government interference.

An attorney since 1993, Ms. Hammond combines a background in business with a wide range of legal and personal experience to provide her clients with a uniquely practical perspective.

Ms. Hammond, author of the books Planning Your Legacy and Hope(less) (available on Amazon), learned firsthand the effects of failing to plan when her mother developed early-onset Alzheimer’s Disease without any planning documents in place, requiring her to endure the living probate of her mother’s estate. Through that heart-wrenching experience, she was determined to help others avoid the added devastation of a complicated and expensive legal process by obtaining a law degree and devoting her practice to estate planning.

Upon finishing law school, Ms. Hammond worked on a contract basis with Denver-based Sherman & Howard. She then moved on to LexisNexis, where she managed a team of attorneys and developed a knowledge of and love for the business world.

In 2005, fulfilling her dream as a counselor and planner, she founded Hammond Law Group.

Ms. Hammond is a member of WealthCounsel, the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, the Colorado Springs Estate Planning Council, and the Purposeful Planning Institute. She previously served on the Board of Governors for the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys.

A Denver native, Ms. Hammond completed her undergraduate work at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, with a major in French and Psychology. She earned her Juris Doctorate from the University of Denver College of Law in 1993, with a concentration in estate planning, tax, and mediation.

Outside the office, Ms. Hammond enjoys a wide variety of activities including hiking with her dogs, reading, writing, cooking spicy foods with lots of veggies, and spending time with her husband, daughters, and granddaughters.
