I had called a variety of attorneys to tell my story. I could not find anyone to hear me. The hunt group came as a recommendation. When I called his office. Mr hunt took the time to hear my entire story. He was so sympathetic. He said let me think about how I can help you and call you by the end of the day. I thought to my self. He was just trying to be nice. He DID call me back at the end of the day with positive news. He spent the time in the afternoon to contact a few contacts that he had. And found another attorney to partner with him to hear my case. He suggested we come to his office at 4:30 on the same day he said he would call me back. He partnered with another attorney. They took my case.. The hunt firm was easy to work with. Excellent communication and follow up. Fair priced! Bill personally was a compassionate, sympathetic a real person to work with and talk too. I highly recommend his firm.
Bill was an amazing advocate and attorney. He is literally everything you could want in an attorney, and more. Bill is extremely responsive, assertive, and listens, but is also compassionate and will fight for the best interest of the kids, which is the ultimately the most important thing. I believe that his professional attitude, knowledge, and genuine concern for the welfare of the kids were key in retaining rights and changes to my parenting plan that had been threatened. He continually went above and beyond my expectations for a lawyer, and I am forever grateful that he had legally represented me during a pivotal time in our family.

Divorce or Custody Issues? This is Your Guy!

Custody advice
I spoke with Bill for advice on what to do with the 5+ years of custody court I've been through with my son's father. He was very helpful in giving me steps to take to try to get a custody decision made. He seemed to understand the exact problems I was having after just 5 minutes into the conversation. He was sympathetic, practical, and straight to the point.
Thank you Bill!

Defense of personal liability lawsuit
Attorney William Hunt provided exceptional, professional legal services for our family for a case that was highly emotional and potentially damaging to our family's financial well-being. He offered sound legal counsel, and while remaining our advocate, remained direct with us throughout the proceedings when we needed to respond rationally rather than with our emotions. His counsel led to a sound conclusion to a difficult situation and experience.

Divorce 5 years Later
My former husband and I had been married 20+ years and had two children. I had talked with a few attorneys regarding my rights, ways to proceed and expected outcomes. One suggested I do a few things that could be considered a little less than legal in order to increase the court ruling in my favor. Another was determined to make it into a case much larger than I was comfortable. I simply wanted an amicable, fair, end to what was a difficult marriage. I met Bill and he actually listened to me. He considered what had been good and bad about the marriage and cared about helping me create a future life that was better. He heard me and respected my wishes when I said that I didn't want my children involved. He didn't judge me for not having acted sooner or question my motives. He was knowledgeable and took the time I needed to understand all sides of what might happen and how we might proceed. His staff treated me like I was the only case in the office and most importantly, Bill always called back the same day. He was quick to inform me of what the other attorney was saying and didn't enter into any decisions without my awareness. A divorce holds so many levels of stress and Bill, gratefully, didn't add fuel to the fire. He was never shocked but what was going on and kept me calm, confident, and able to make clear decisions. He understood the dynamics of our family relationships and respected each of us in the process. I'm grateful to Bill for his calm way of proceeding.

A level head in difficult times
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.

Traffic Violations (Almost Lost My License)
I unfortunately used to have a real problem with speeding! It got me in a situation where I had 10 points and almost lost my license. It could have got me jail time too (maximum sentence for that many offenses). With all of that said, I was pretty scared/nervous that I was going to definitely lose my license.
A family member of mine recommended Mr. Hunt. With his advice/help, I ended up only getting a fine and got to keep my license (and no jail time!). I was relieved to say the least!
I have learned my lesson about speeding, but if I ever need help again, I definitely will call Mr. Hunt!

Legal Assistance
Bill and attorneys from his office have assisted me on several occasions. Once helping my son get a charge reduced and helping him to get on a better track. There were even times when he could have taken me on as a client (and collected fees), yet he recommended I handle it myself unless it started to get ugly. With his advice, I was able to get my problem resolved without involving attorneys and the courts. With everything that you hear about attorneys that gouge people, that just shows what integrity he has.

Sale of business and lease of business building
Bill drafted a seller financed sale of our business which also included the buyer leasing the building with an option to purchase at a later date. Bill was flexible as the deal changed a number of times and always had my best interest in mind by providing the necessary protective documents and language.

Very honest and knowledgeable attorney

Drivers License Suspension
Mr. Hunt provided invaluable legal advice and assistance to my son who was facing the potential suspension of his drivers license due to recent traffic violations. That advice resulted in my son only receiving a warning and a fine.

Bill Hunt
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.

I used Mr. Hunt to facilitate my divorce and child custody matters. He was thorough, honest, and let me know exactly what to expect. He made a difficult process relatively easier (as much as a divorce can actually be considered "easy"). I would trust him and turn to him again if any issues might arise in the future.
