ABOUT ME
VALERIE HEDLUND
Attorney at Law
Attorney at Law
After more than 23 years in the mortgage banking industry, I made the life-changing decision to go to law school. It has been a very rewarding and very challenging few years of raising two teenagers, working full time, and attending law school where I graduated in the four-year goal I set. I believe this pure determination, along with my life and business experience, sets me apart from others who may be lacking real world experience and good old common sense.
BUSINESS:
The mortgage banking industry is where I obtained my management experience in retail and builder branches as well as corporate operations and compliance. This experience gives me the ability to assist clients with very complex business and financial matters.
PERSONAL:
As a native Texan, born in Dallas and raised in Plano; I know Texas. After graduation from Plano Senior High, I was fortunate to attend Texas A & M in College Station where I graduated with a degree in Business Management. (WHOOP!) We still love nothing more than going to Aggie games at Kyle Field every fall.
Together with my wonderful husband Rob for over 21 years, we raised two amazing sons, Trey and Hunter. After marrying Rob, we spent 9 years in Reno, Nevada and then 3 years in Salt Lake City, Utah while I pursued my mortgage banking career before coming to our senses and returning home to Texas.
