Kevin S. Hill
Of Counsel — Estate Planning, Business Law & Entrepreneurial Solutions
Bridging Legal Expertise with Real-World Business Experience
Kevin S. Hill is an attorney with a unique blend of legal acumen and entrepreneurial experience, serving as Of Counsel to David A. Montgomery Law. He handles estate planning, probate, estate administration, conservatorships, guardianships, family law, and business matters including entity formation, contract drafting, commercial transactions, corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions support, and real estate‑related business dealings.
Born and raised in East Tennessee, Kevin graduated from the University of Tennessee with a Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies. He later earned a Master of Theology from Regent College before obtaining his Juris Doctor from Lincoln Memorial University's Duncan School of Law in 2025. Admitted to the Tennessee Bar that same year, Kevin founded Sero Law PLLC, drawing on his background to support clients in integrating business strategies with comprehensive estate solutions.
With over a decade as a successful entrepreneur, Kevin founded and scaled Uncle Lem's Outfitters, growing it from a single Knoxville location to multiple sites across East Tennessee—achieving approximately $1.2 million in annual sales across the Knoxville stores and up to $1.4 million at the Pigeon Forge flagship—through strategic market analysis, digital marketing, commercial real estate management, and team leadership that reduced staff turnover by 50%. He also founded and manages real estate investment firms, negotiating acquisitions and dispositions that delivered consistent 12% ROI while securing investor partnerships.
This hands‑on experience equips Kevin to address the frustrations small business owners and entrepreneurs often face—whether facilitating deals by mitigating risks through creative solutions rather than obstruction, or in estate planning through effective succession strategies, asset protection, and preserving family legacies. At David A. Montgomery Law, he applies this insight to provide reliable, client‑focused counsel that bridges business growth, transactional success, and long‑term security.
Kevin, his wife, and their five children (four boys and one girl) reside in Knoxville. In his free time, he enjoys outdoor activities, family adventures, and community service, reflecting his lifelong commitment as an Eagle Scout.
