Hunter Pruette

Once a lawyer achieve a certain amount of status they start falling short. I payed this man 2000 plus to be smashed for a text message i sent to my girl. Im on 2 yrs probation a domestic class an therapy when i could have walked. Hunter is ineffective. During my court date on oct the 5th u can see se...veral defense attorneys sitting to my left an all prosecutors an my one defense hunter sitting to my right. This was so uncomfortable. The victim did not appear in court. Instead of hunter pushing to throw the case out he kept telling me be quiet so the state can postpone so i xan pay him more money. Comes to find out the victim was filing charges in howard county while i was standing next to hunter in court fighting the text message charge. The next court date came hunter is extremly late telling me october 14. " oh u have a warrant tommorow when we go to court an its too late for me to recall cuz i just found out last night even tho you had the warrant scince oct 5 on our court date. For the 2000 u paid me the least i can do is tell u you are gone tommorow. We get to court. Hunter doesnt want to tell the judge at all that the client is being vindictive continuong to file charges on me. It would have been good to bring up that we post poned the court date thinking she did not know. But we learned she was able to make it to howard county to file charges on the day of his court date while on gps. Do to hunter. I am currently fighting additional charges from the same victim. I was on the box getting it cut off running right into the warrant the victim filed in howard county on the oct 5 courtdate. The victim currently has me goin to court for missing cat food an hunter wants 1000 just to say i didnt take it. Basically lawyers are good sometimes not all. I pretty much bought a car transmission. Paid a random white guy to buy new suits while im in deep trouble. Hunter was my first an last lawyer ever. I could have stuck with the public defender an got the same thing. I did not know this what a lawyer is. I can send myself to jail for all that. Hunter is easily angrered an stressed out. All he wanted me to do is shut up an go to jail an pay for his appearance in the courts...easy money an im in deep trouble. I would not recomend anyone using this man however his ratings are high so im just one guy which most likely will be over looked. He may be good but u know these guys are hit an miss. James bradley public defender would have gotten me same deal. I did over a week in jail an was on home detention. Hunter told me he dont think i would go to jail due to how long it was ago an me already being incarcerated an on gps. Speed foward to courtdate he tells my wife i would have went to jail if it wasnt for him. The man a piece of crap an im suimg him for ineffective assistance of counsel. Now way i get all this time for 2000 all he did was come to court

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
