Adoption
I found Mr. Hunters name on AVVO when my granddaughter was going through a custody case. We consulted with Mr. Hunter and he represented us adopting our grandchild. He is very through and honest with you and knows the law. He comes to court prepared and helped us with an out of state adoption. All phone calls and emails were answered by Mr. Hunter or his staff. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him if you need help. He is one of the best and we are so grateful to work with him!!!

The best lawyer ever
I had the opportunity of having this wonderful Immigration lawyer representing my family. Before hand, i was very sceptic about the lawyer thing because i had never been represented by a lawyer in any situation before, but as soon as i meet him all those fears were gone. He made us feel at home, he was very diplomatic and understanding, thus made it very easy where communication was concerned. It was very easy for us, all we did was provide information and follow instructions, his office was on point with everything. every detail was taken into consideration and emails were sent to me accordingly. When it was time for the interview i was very worried because of what other people had experienced with their interviews previously, but to tell you the truth this lawyer made it very easy for us. He was there at both me and my daughter's interview and it was a breeze. I felt like i was at a family reunion, with his professionalism and popularity he made the interview one of the best experienced in my life. I would proudly refer any and everyone to Mr Michael Hunter's office, if you are living in or around the Panama City or Beach area this is the lawyer you need to hire, his fees are reasonable and he will give you time to pay. Thank you Mr Hunter for representing our family and may God be with you and your team.

Wonderful demeanor!
I was very impressed with Mr. Hunters overall demeanor and his whole approach in general. He handled mine and my daughter's questions with grace and ease and never once put either of us on the defensive side, during our consultation. Once things are settled, I will be hiring him.

Guardianship
In 2012 I hired Mr. Hunter to apply for guardianship of my two minor grandchildren when my daughter passed away. I knew that this case would be a challenge for any attorney. Mr. Hunter exceeded my expectations and left no stone unturned. Mr. Hunter is an exceptional attorney and a caring person. I have no problem recommending him to anyone seeking guardianship/custody. Case Won!

Best Lawyer around!
Mr. Hunter and his office treats you like family! Unlike most lawyers...he is upfront and honest so you know what to and what not to expect. Extremely smart and hardworking! Prepared for court beyond imaginable. We used him in a contested adoption case and he used evidence from every angle. Out of almost 15 years of court battles...this is the best lawyer in the area!

the worst attorney i have ever met
BEWARE !!!first him and his secretary seem nice and caring, but only until they get all their money. He supposed to handle my criminal case, but i haven't heard from him since i paid in full. i left 6 voice mails + many calls just ignored and unanswered. I will never do business with him ever again. Very very disappointed, thank God i found another attorney who had to fix everything after him handling my case.
