As a family-owned boutique law firm, the Hood Law Group works hard to serve its clients’ best interests whether through litigation or simply advising on estate, tax and probate matters.

Ed Hood can boast five decades of experience as both a practitioner in the field and a law professor at UMKC. He’s taught at least 22 different courses, mostly on taxation and estate planning. He’s also authored numerous books and articles on his practice area.

“Ed Hood has taught international tax for twenty years,” noted his bio. “With even small businesses seizing opportunities in the global marketplace and more individuals working and conducting business abroad, he can assist business owners with understanding and minimizing international tax law implications.”  

Meanwhile, managing member Matthew Hood handles not just business law, estate planning and tax controversies but has also expanded into the growing field of cannabis-related enterprises, even becoming a member of the National Cannabis Bar Association.
