Lawson Hatch carries an Abingdon financial-services tradition forward

For Lawson Hatch Financial Services, the starting point for planning is a person’s circumstances: goals, time horizon and willingness to take risk. The Abingdon firm organizes its work around those conversations rather than assuming every client needs the same strategy.

The business traces its roots to William F. Lawson’s establishment of Lawson Financial Services more than five decades ago. Today, owner and president Bruce Hatch continues that local presence from East Main Street.

The firm works with individuals and small businesses in retirement planning, insurance protection and wealth preservation. Those subjects often overlap. A business owner’s plans for the next chapter, for example, can involve both household priorities and decisions about the enterprise built over many years.

Lawson Hatch describes a one-to-one process intended to keep clients informed about their plans. Its online resources cover retirement, investments, estate considerations and other financial topics, providing a starting point for more specific discussions.

The appeal of a longstanding local office is continuity: a place to revisit decisions as life changes. In Abingdon, Lawson Hatch’s offering combines that history with a focus on understanding the person behind the plan.
