Your Partners in Law Clarity, Honesty, Results.
Hackett, Maldonado & Moore, PLLC — HMM Law — is redefining legal services by bringing transparency and understanding to a system that tries to keep you in the dark. You deserve a lawyer who speaks to you like a person — not a case number.
Law the Way It Should Be
Hackett, Maldonado, and Moore, PLLC — known to many as HMM Law — was founded on a belief that the legal system doesn't have to feel like a black box. We came to Memphis for school, fell in love with this city, and built our lives and careers here — and we practice law the way we'd want it practiced for our own families.
Too many firms speak in riddles, move slow, and leave clients feeling lost. We do the opposite. We believe that keeping you informed, in plain language, every step of the way, isn't just good service — it's what the job actually requires.
"The law should work for people, not make them feel powerless."
Radical Honesty
Radical honesty isn't about being harsh — it's about giving you the full picture. You deserve to know exactly where your case stands and why, because that's what genuinely caring for a client looks like. Keeping you in the dark isn't protecting you, it's failing you.
Clear Communication
Legal jargon is a barrier, not a feature. We break down every step of the process in plain language so you always know what's happening, what's next, and what it means for you.
Community First
When our clients thrive, Memphis thrives. We champion local businesses and families because their success is our city's future.
Why Clients Trust HMM Law
We built this firm on a simple idea: that honesty, clarity, and genuine care produce better outcomes — for our clients and for Memphis.
We Tell You the Truth — Period
Most attorneys will nod along and bill you anyway. We won't. If your case is weak, we'll say so. If there's a cheaper path, we'll point you to it. We'd rather lose a fee than lose your trust.
Caring Is Good Business
Remember the honesty we talked about? Here's more of it: we know a happy client becomes a future friend of the firm. Caring isn't just the right thing to do — it means we get the satisfaction of a job well done and a community that grows stronger alongside us. Everyone wins.
Your Win Is Memphis's Win
Every family we protect, every person we defend, every injury case we win fairly — that's one more piece of Memphis getting stronger. You're our neighbors, and when you succeed, the whole community benefits.
We Champion Local Business
Memphis has incredible entrepreneurs building something real. We actively seek to support local businesses with legal guidance that's practical and affordable, because a thriving local economy lifts every family.
"When we take care of our clients and our community, everything else takes care of itself. That's not strategy — that's just how we were raised."
— The founding philosophy of Hackett, Maldonado, and Moore, PLLC
Practice Areas
We focus on two areas so we can be great at them — not mediocre at a dozen. When your freedom or your health is on the line, you want a team that does this every day.
Personal Injury
If you've been hurt because of someone else's negligence, we fight to get you the compensation you deserve. No inflated promises, just honest assessment and aggressive representation.
Criminal Defense
Facing criminal charges is one of the most stressful things a person can go through. We'll tell you exactly where you stand, what your options are, and fight for the best possible outcome.
Recent Results
Real outcomes for real people. Every case represents a client whose life we helped change.
Most settlements come with confidentiality agreements, so we don't publish case-by-case numbers — that's between us and our clients. What we can share honestly is this:

Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and must be evaluated on its own facts. Settlement amounts are confidential and are not disclosed individually.
