VIRGINIA BEACH, VA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/25/12 -- To more accurately represent the comprehensive law firm offerings to clients, including extensive, consolidated legal and financial planning, Oast & Hook has changed their firm name to the Hook Law Center.

Hook Law Center is comprised of attorneys providing exemplary public benefits, estate, tax, long-term care, disability, financial planning, and additional services not traditionally found in a law firm, and is the preeminent legal resource for seniors.

"We at Hook Law Center look forward to a continuing relationship with clients and families as they plan for life's future events," said Andrew Hook. "As we reflect on the last several years, we are grateful to have built a base of reliability and trust, and look forward to expanding our center to continue to assist clients with planning for their estate, retirement, long-term care, health care, financial needs, insurance programs, available benefit programs, and any tax consequences. In today's world, you have to be careful who you trust. At the Hook Law Center, we will earn your trust. We believe in full disclosure. We want to be your Law Center for life; you can count on us."

The name change from Oast & Hook to the Hook Law Center is a sign of the evolving approach used by the Hook Law Center, and also reflects the departure of Bill Oast, a former partner, from Oast & Hook. Hook Law Center has a professional team of attorneys and staff in place that bring to the firm a wide range of talent and skill sets to meet today's rapidly changing tax and regulatory environment.

Hook Law Center remains committed to providing cost-effective solutions to our clients who need assistance in estate, financial, and tax planning for retirement or navigating the regulatory, legal, and financial roadblocks faced with health and long-term care needs. You'll find Hook Law Center at the same addresses in Suffolk and Virginia Beach, with the same phone numbers.
