Haiman Hogue: Faithfully Protecting Families with Integrity and Care

In a legal world that often feels transactional, Haiman Hogue, a faith-based estate and family protection planning law firm, stands as a testament to a values-driven approach. Co-founded by attorney Fred O. Haiman, the firm operates on a simple yet profound belief: “Faithfully Serving God, Our Clients, and Our Community.” This guiding principle not only defines the firm's mission but also shapes every client interaction and community initiative. Haiman Hogue is more than a law firm—it’s a ministry. The team views their work as a divine calling, using their God-given talents to serve clients and the community with compassion and expertise. The firm believes in intentionality, attributing their growth to a higher purpose. As Haiman puts it: “The Lord gives us the clients He wants us to help and the income He wants us to make.”

This perspective is deeply embedded in the firm’s operations. From estate planning to elder law, every service provided is rooted in the commitment to protect families and honor their values. The attorneys and staff see their work not merely as a profession but as a means of living out their faith in action.

The firm’s approach goes beyond the creation of documents; it is about crafting a Family Protection Plan tailored to each client’s unique goals and circumstances. “Why do people say you need an ‘estate plan,’ when it’s really your family that’s the most important thing in your life?” Haiman asks.
