Exemplary trust & estates attorney, leader in the legal community, and baker extraordinaire Ekua Hackman is transitioning from The Commons Law Center after 6 years of incredible service to our community.

She built the Homeownership Asset Preservation Program in partnership with the African American Alliance for Homeownership and has delivered over 140 free estate plans throughout the years. We are so grateful to have had Ekua be such an integral part of shaping The Commons into what it is today.

We will miss her dearly and we're excited to see her career continue with Four Point Legal.

Thank you for everything Ekua! 💙
