Who We Are

Bob  Bond is an estate planning attorney,  Certified Public Accountant and Investment Advisor Representative.  For more than 25 years he owned a  law firm that was devoted to estate planning, probate and related areas of law.  Unfortunately, as an estate planning attorney, he saw that his clients families have almost universally achieved  either mediocre or terrible results with their life savings.  This is  why he created Bond Wealth Planning, to help families create great and  lasting legacies.

He  grew up in Dallas and graduated from Southern Methodist  University  with a B.A. in Economics. He served in the U.S. Army as an  Infantry  Officer. Lieutenant Colonel Bond retired after 20 years of   distinguished service.  During  his military career, he earned a  Masters Degree in Accounting and  passed the CPA Examination. 

He  then returned to Texas  to go to law school at St. Mary's Law School in  San  Antonio. Immediately after law school, he worked for Arthur  Andersen &  Company where he assisted clients with personal  financial planning and  tax planning.  Mr. Bond spent more than 25 years  helping Houston families preserve their assets and create lasting  legacies through the Bond Law Firm. 

He lives in spring with his lovely wife of over 50 years, Jeanne. They have a son and daughter and 7 beautiful grandchildren. They also share their lives with their springer spaniel Max.  They consider themselves very blessed. 

 Mary Hicks grew up in The Woodlands  and is a graduate of Sam Houston State  University with a degree in Business Management and a minor in Finance.  She has been helping small businesses grow into million dollar  businesses for over 20 years. 

She began her career as a Senior Account Executive for a multi national pager manufacturer. Later she served as administrative manager for a local Registered investment advisor.  However, many of our clients recognize her from her many years as operations manager of the law firm. 

Mary has helped hundreds of families organize and retitle their assets, and has had a front row seat for all of the ways a families plan for their life savings can go wrong. That is why she chooses to be a partner in Bright Vision Wealth, to inspire families to create great and lasting legacies.

She now lives in Montgomery with her husband. Together they have three adult children. The youngest recently graduated from Sam Houston State University with a degree in Education and plans to teach elementary school. Of course, the light of their lives is their cat Slick who likes to play fetch and wake them up at 3 am.
