Great lawyer in Maine.

Absolutely a great lawyer. Hunter always communicated clearly and concisely, in a timely fashion, and was always there for any questions or concerns that I had. As an out-of-state client, I relied on Hunter to defend my case and he knocked it out of the park, fighting to get me the best outcome I c...ould hope for. Thank you, Hunter, for your hard work and diligence.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"It's been no secret that Hunter Tzovarras is one of the best criminal lawyers in the State of Maine. I have worked with him side by side and literally been wowed at the issues he digs up just looking at a witness statement or police report. I still marvel over two cross-examinations I watched him do on a murder trial we had together. I had seen the witness statements and reports. I watched him tear apart a lay witness mostly by listening to responses and using his instincts. It was incredible. He is one of the first attorneys I go to with any questions I might have about appeals, criminal law, trial strategy, or sentencing issues. Not only does he do an excellent job, it is clear that he cares and takes interest in what he is doing. He is one of the few I've met in the profession that genuinely shows interest at discussing stories, trial practice books, and methods of witness examination and closing arguments. I give him the highest endorsement I can give."

"I endorse this lawyer. Hunter has a very strong work ethic and routinely handles complex and challenging cases in which he often obtains impressive results. Hunter is an ambitious criminal defense and civil rights attorney who can be trusted to oppose the State with a thorough and methodical approach. He is a confident and persuasive courtroom advocate who I would trust with any high stakes criminal defense or civil rights matter."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
