At heart, I am a businessperson who loves working with businesses and learning about my clients’ products, processes, and brands.
Forming an intellectual property strategy with a new client is what I enjoy most about being an intellectual property lawyer. Working with my clients to identify, solidify, and protect intellectual property assets is why referrals have remained our primary source of new clients.
Before law school I performed extensive technical research in two quite different disciplines—audio electronics and biochemistry. I attended The University of Alabama and the University of Alabama School of Law, where I served on the Law and Psychology Review, Campbell Moot Court Board, and the Bruce B. Siegal Intellectual Property Moot Court Team.
Practice areas
Myr primary focus is filing patent applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. I have experience in all types of patent applications, including international filings.

Hunter is simply amazing. He takes time to explain the patent process to his clients in clear, plain language and is amazingly patient. He is not only a great lawyer, but a great person. I would highly recommend Hunter to all of my clients!
Adam Maniscalco, Patent application Attorney on Jan 26, 2016
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Hunter is an excellent and knowledgeable attorney in the area of patents and trademarks. Our firm does not specialize in intellectual property law, and when we have questions, we turn to Hunter as our expert resource. We also regularly refer clients who need help in these areas to him, and we've always had great feedback. One client in particular profusely thanked us for connecting her with Hunter, saying that he had been a great help and a delight to work with. I have no reservations in recommending Hunter for anyone with questions in these areas.

I endorse Hunter as an Intellectual Property Attorney. He is very competent in this often times difficult area of law. I would not hesitate to have Hunter help me with any Intellectual Property question.
