Welcome!


Gary Hood is a 30 year trial lawyer. He launched and is CEO of his own law firm, after years of successfully navigating the world of "BigLaw" - but he finally decided he could no longer support that law practice model, after the firm in which he was equity partner and Board of Directors member inflexibly adopted one-sided, politicized policies and positions. He now advocates for fundamental America-First values, and commits his time and effort to serving others. 

Gary is a professional advocate. He is a speaker and author. And he is a mentor, giving back to those just starting out and those looking for guidance to excel.

But first and foremost, he's a proud Navy Veteran, husband, and father.  And he's excited to serve once again.
