T.J. Is a fantastic attorney. Ethical, smart and dedicated.

TJ represented me in a very complex and intricate case involving government corruption. I was a 30 year police officer who began calling out corruption within the Desoto Missouri Police Department. The chief of police retaliated against me on lawfully terminating me then having me criminally charged ...for use of force that was legitimate and trained.. Unfortunately, Jefferson County is known for corruption and the “good boy system“. So TJ had his work cut out for him. After four years of back-and-forth and several attempts by the Jefferson County Missouri prosecuting attorney’s office and intimidating me. I took my case to a jury trial. TJ was very instrumental and keeping me updated on everything. He listened and he conducted himself very ethically around people who wouldn’t know what the word “ethics“ are. During the trial TJ was quick to catch one of the states witnesses, a captain with the Jefferson County Missouri sheriffs department, who is the head of their detective bureau, perjuring himself on the stand. Unfortunately, as things go in Jefferson County, the jury did not render the verdict we wished, but it could’ve been much worse. I was charged with one count of felony assault and two counts of misdemeanor assault. TJ with the assistance of. Breanne Besheer was able to successfully argue my case, and I was not convicted of a felony just misdemeanors. It’s not the outcome we all wanted, but of course we all looked at that as a win for avoiding the felony. As stated, this case was very complex and intricate and involved corruption at the highest levels of Jefferson County government and the De Soto, Missouri Police Department. if you’re looking for an attorney who actually cares and conducts himself with ethics and will fight strong for you I would urge you to contact TJ Hunsecker.

Exceptional Legal Representation

I cannot thank TJ Hunsaker enough for his exceptional work in my case. Facing false accusation was one of the most challenging and stressful experiences of my life. From our very first meeting, TJ demonstrated compassion, professionalism, and a deep understanding of the legal system. He thoroughly... investigated every aspect of my case, leaving no stone unturned. He meticulously gathered evidence, identified inconsistencies in the accusations, and built a strong defense that ultimately proved my innocence. His courtroom presence was commanding and confident, and his ability to present the facts with clarity and precision was remarkable. Beyond his legal expertise, TJ was always available to address my concerns and keep me informed throughout the process. He genuinely cared about my well-being and provided the reassurance I needed during such a difficult time. Thanks to TJ, my name has been cleared, and I can move forward with my life. If you are looking for a dedicated and skilled attorney who will fight tirelessly for your rights, I highly recommend Timothy Joseph Hunsaker, he is an outstanding lawyer.

false allegation are real

During my divorce I "the father" was trying to get some sort of custody of my daughter. The mother pretty much brainwashed my daughter into saying I molested my daughter 10 years prior and of course that eliminated any chance of getting custody. It's called the "The silver bullet in divorce". The m...other wanted to take it one step farther and make sure I spent the rest of my life in jail for something that never took place. The mother created a web of lies that included dfs, abuse counselors and 4 different doctors and other people. The mother manipulated the system to the point I got arrested and charged with 16 felony counts of incest, rape and sodomy. The mother somehow through fear and indoctrination had my daughter say many disgusting things that just were not true at all. Because so many different people were involved the stack of paperwork Tj Hunsaker had to go through was enormous and complex. The web of lies and manipulation my ex created took me well over 120 hours of hard work just understand what I was up against. Tj tells it like it is, he is up front, thorough and easy to talk with. He took the time to understand that web of lies and when it came for depositions, he destroyed the person trying to put me in jail. The prosecuting attorney dropped all charges against me soon after the deposition. The thing about my case is that it takes someone who cares about what they do for a living, Tj takes his profession very serious because if he didn't, I would be in jail right now for something I didn't do and for something that never took place. TJ Hunsaker will always have a place in my heart for caring. Thank You, Charles Krockenberger
