Andrew Mims

Andrew Mims founded Oak Grove Estate Planning with a singular vision: to create Louisiana's first law firm dedicated exclusively to helping families secure their futures through thoughtful, comprehensive estate planning.

Founder & Principal Attorney, Oak Grove Estate Planning

After years of practicing at larger firms where estate planning was just one service among many, Andrew recognized a critical gap in the legal services arena in Louisiana. Too often, he saw families receiving standardized estate plans that failed to address their unique circumstances, values, and long-term needs.

This realization inspired him to establish Oak Grove Estate Planning, where personalized service and ongoing client relationships form the foundation of everything we do.
