Review William Hunt

Bill Hunt

Posted by

I hired Bill Hunt to help me obtain a divorce from a very hostile husband. Bill’s manner is calm and forthright. I felt I could be open and honest with him without judgment. He explained the steps we needed to take in ways that were understandable. I was informed and knew what to expect. He responded quickly to my e-mails and calls. Bill is very likeable. You are in good hands with him.

A level head in difficult times

Posted by

Getting sued is never fun. Emotions run high. You don't always win -- even if you are in the right. Bill helped me through a difficult situation, calmly explaining alternatives, helping me evaluate choices, and keeping me from "going off the deep end". I appreciate his professional demeanor, his wisdom and his availability. Bill is also one to seek help when he does not know an answer -- MUCH better than "guessing" or trying to bluff. No one is an expert on everything. It's important to know what you don't know! I'd strongly recommend Bill to anyone seeking legal assistance.

Attorney Hunt is an ethical and compassionate attorney who thrives in litigation settings. I have never seen his level of representation anything less than ardent. The respect between he and his clients is mutual, and I would recommend William Hunt and the W.H. Hunt Legal Groups to anyone looking for legal representation.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

I appreciate Mr. Hunt's approach to the practice of law. He is dedicated and reasonable. He is intelligent and experienced. He is a pleasure to work with, and if your retained Mr. Hunt you would be well served.

John Ready, Divorce and separation Attorney on Jan 29, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Bill is a great lawyer to work with, and I have worked with him in several capacities since we are both mediators and advocates. I have worked with him as a mediator on cases, and as an opponent on cases, and as the mediator in cases where he is advocating for a party. He is reasonable, practical, knowledgeable, skillful and helpful. Bill will treat your matter with the utmost care and attention.

Stephen Daray, Divorce and separation Attorney on Jan 29, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I endorse this lawyer. Professional.

Sheila Duffy, Mediation Attorney on Jan 29, 2015
