Loren D. Hatch has brought his determination, intelligence and experience to Morris, Hall & Kinghorn to provide our New Mexico clients with the best possible care and legal assistance.

Loren graduated summa cum laude from Arizona State University, attaining his bachelor’s degree in political science.  He worked as a Legislative Liaison for the Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division, followed by a position as the Operations Manager for a small business in Mesa, Arizona.

Loren then changed directions, once again graduating summa cum laude, this time with his Juris Doctorate from Texas Tech University School of Law.  During law school, Loren worked as a Legal Clerk for the 237th District Court in Texas.  He also served as an editor for the Texas Tech Law Review, a member of the Board of Editors for the Texas Bank Lawyer, and as Administrative Director of the Student Bar Association.  Upon graduating, Loren was honored to be elected by the school faculty as a member of the Order of the Coif.

Loren seeks to help each client protect their future and their family through estate planning.  As a family man himself, he understands how important planning can be, and the peace of mind that comes from a properly drafted estate plan.
