  7. Sex crime

    I have experience in this area: these crimes are very serious. In addition to possible jail time, defendant's face lifetime registration as a sex offender.

I was raised in small town in the Kansas City area. In high school I played tennis (poorly) and debated. I worked my way through college with a variety of odd jobs: waiter, janitor, and forklift driver. I became an attorney because I felt my employer was mistreating the employees; I wanted to help others like me. I dedicated my time in law school to public service and that is where I focus my career.

In my spare time I enjoy martial arts, shooting sports, hiking, hunting, and reading. I used to be an avid jogger, but a hip injury put an end to that.

Excellent and Professional
I could not be more pleased with my experience working with Justin Hunt. He was extremely well informed, helpful, honest, and very professional when dealing with my case. It was easy to tell when seeing him represent me that he had taken the time to give my case his personal undivided attention and he was able to get my charges completely thrown out!
