To whom it may concern reviews aren’t my forte but one thing I’ve learned in life is u have to give credit where credit is due I was naive to the judicial system never even caught a jay walking ticket but yet the initial counsel I hired wasn’t acting in my best interest So w/out going into detail I had a criminal case in Municipal court going to court every month for a year I was deflated Until I fired my lawyer & hired Mr hudnut The energy was different he walked me through the process and more important he never swayed I did not want to plead guilty or copp out 2 a lesser charge And Mr Hudnut stood by my decision all the way And WE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON The cost of vindication is Priceless And I got my life back thanx Jake

My attorney fought for my freedom as if it was his own. He constantly stayed in contact with me, kept me informed about my case and what he was discussing with the prosecutor. I was facing 7 years in prison while being represented by previous council. When I hired Jacob he immediately told me that he would get that reduced. Our first court appearance he spoke with the prosecutor and pointed out every flaw in there case, said if they can’t work something out he’d be filing motions to have everything dismissed. My next court date I was offered probation with no jail time at all. Jacob is very professional and focused.

Mr. Hudnut picked up my case and took a look at it when no one else would. He saw what others lawyers couldn't see. They were trying to convict me to 12 years of state prison, and they were sure I was guilty. Mr. Hudnut came cleared every ones eyes. We went to trial and beat all the 1st degree charges. He saved my life, and proved that I was an innocent man. Over all great guy, amazing lawyer, and good friend.

As a very nervous client, what I appreciated about Jacob Hudnut, is the ease and simple and precise instructions he gave. Ease, in letting me know what he will not allow to happen and simple and precise instructions as what my role is. I followed his instructions, as I witness Jacob Hudnut, went to work until her got the best results he discussed prior. He is calm, approachable, easy to talk to and he listens well. For that, I am thankful that Jacob Hudnut represented me.

Case Dismissal

Mr.Hudnut is very professional and caring. He worked very timely and responsive to all my concerns and questions. During my case I would contact him via text, email or phone and never had to worry about a delay or no response, everything was handled with care. I provided as much information as I could to prove my innocence and Mr.Hudnut did a good job executing details and presentation on my behalf. Because of Mr.Hudnut I was able to be granted my dismissal motion (case dismissed) and can now move forward with my life.

Exceptional Experience With This Smart, Savvy, Soulful Attorney

I never in my life thought that I would need a criminal defense attorney. With an unfortunate chain of events, I was suddenly looking at some serious charges. I consulted Mr. Hudnut, and knew immediately that he was the attorney to represent me. He saw right through the 'red tape' of why I received the charges and built an incredible strategy and defense that ultimately had charges filed against the woman who initially attacked me, and all the charges against me were dropped. I found Mr. Hudnut to be very smart, confident, and helpful - explaining everything to me with great clarity and simplicity each step along the way. I highly recommend Mr. Hudnut. If you need a lawyer in Hudson County, you should look no further.
