Steven Richard Hunter

I was slapped with charges of domestic battery and restraining order by my wife. Given my immigration situation (I am on work visa), I was more worried about outcome of case. Initial attorney whom I had hired was not a good and I was lost couple of motions in the court. I was looking for experienced ...attorney to prove myself not guilty. After consulting half a dozen attorneys I met Mr. Hunter and thought he was the best person to help me out of given situation. During first meeting itself Mr. Hunter made me feel at ease. He explained me how such cases work and what my options were and how a trial process will happen. He formulated a detailed questionnaire and prepared me well for the trial date. My case extended for 8 months due to delay in preparation by states attorney. Mr Hunter was very patient and never charged me extra for his court appearances. On trial day: Mr. Hunter’s predictions about how police witness and opposing counsel will behave were spot on. He had worked well on my case and due to this his opening statement and closing statement had lot of impacts. His cross examination of victim and police officers founds lot of holes in victim and police officers statement, which made my case really strong. Given that jury panel included 8 women and 5 men, they gave verdict of Not guilty in less than 10 minutes. Mr Hunter is the best man in town if you are in trouble.

You're making a mistake if you don't retain Steven. I am totally blown away by his clam, understated demeanor. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from him - the reviews were good, but this was the first time I'd ever been arrested so I really didn't know how to evaluate a attorney. He was like a e...xperienced professor in the court room and took care of every aspect of the trial on order to achieve a successful outcome. The entire interaction between Steven, the judge and the States defense was so fast that I was pretty much lost -- after two minutes I followed Steven out of the court expecting to called back later and he had to explain to me that they had just dropped the case!!!!! A true veteran professional! I was arrested for domestic violence when my wife called the police in the heat of the moment during a stupid argument. She immediately wanted to drop the charges, but once I was in the system, the trial took on a form of its own and every aspect of the court system was aimed at getting a conviction. The States Attorney takes over the prosecution and my wife is considered the victim -- she couldn't drop the charges. I interviewed many attorneys before selecting Steven and many of them seemed competent but his desire to thoroughly understand what had happened and carefully prepare his approach for the trial made all the difference (actually I don't think any other attorney even wanted to meet me before the preliminary hearing -- and Steven had the charges dropped during this hearing). He also canceled another appointment to be at my hearing. I can't sing his praises enough! I can't guarantee a successful for you, but I am confident that you won't get a better defense attorney than Steven! P.S. Steven was based in Chicago and my trial was in Skokie. I was a little concerned that Steven wasn't based locally in the North Shore, but he had all the right connections and had a rapport with the judge and other attorney -- seriously outstanding!

As you are looking through this site; I want to assure you that you are in the right place. I never thought I would need a Criminal Defense Attorney, but there I was,...charged with a crime. It was terrifiying and I didn’t know where to go. Luckily for me I stumbled upon Stephan R Hunter; and fortuna...tely I read a great review that led me to choose this wonderful counsel. Now I am compelled to ‘pay it forward’. Steven’s gentle, soft- spoken and unassuming manner made me feel at ease immediately, and his non-judgmental , confident demeanor gave me hope that things would be OK. At the trial Steven focused like a laser beam to the core issue; though the other side hurled endless falsehoods and distortions. In the end he annihilated the opposition and won my case. Now I can return to my normal life again. If I ever need a CDA, I would not hesitate to call on Steven R. Hunter, but I sure hope I don’t ever have to again.

Atty. Steven Hunter is professional, knowledgeable and listened well during my consultation. He laid all the possibilities for my case. I consulted 2 more lawyers before contacting him. He listened well and answered all my questions with a very calm and comforting manner. One thing that catch my att...ention is he never interrupted me even if I may have mixed up informations. I strongly recommend him and his track record and experience backs it all.
