Your Experienced Estate Planning & Elder Law Advisors

We have a team-centered approach. While each client’s family works with one attorney, our attorneys regularly discuss the design of our plans with each other in order to ensure we’re doing everything possible to help you meet your goals.

In addition, each client works primarily with one paralegal, who gets to know you and your estate plan intimately through the design and
implementation process. The biggest complaint people have about
lawyers is lack of communication, and by working as a team we have
virtually eliminated this complaint for our clients.

Learn more about our family and then let us learn more about yours.

Meet Hammond Law Group Team

At Hammond Law Group, our estate planning attorneys work together to create meaningful, lasting estate plans for Colorado families. Each member of our team shares a commitment to personal connection, clear communication, and compassionate service.
