DWI in Lake Charles, dropped to a reckless operation no probation just courts costs & fine , very professional & up to date and informs you on what you need to know. 10/10
I am a member of the National College of DUI Defense and am certified in the administration of the Standardized Field Sobriety Test promulgated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
A great deal of my criminal defense deals with drug possession--misdemeanors and felonies. My office also does expungements to remove convictions from public records.
Expunging a criminal record can remove several hurdles for employment and career advancement.
I come from a family of Lawyers. My father practiced law in Lake Charles, LA from 1958 until his passing in 2002. I have been practicing law for 30 years. My career began in Texas, but I settled back Lake Charles, LA in 1996.  I still maintain my Texas license given the close proximity of the Texas border to Lake Charles.
Â
In the early years of my practice, I handled cases in all areas of the law. However, a significant part of my practice has always been in the field of injury law. And I have been fortunate enough to be very successful in this area. Several of the injury awards are on my web page.
Â
As I practiced injury law, I also handled countless Bankruptcy and Family Law Cases.  In 2005 I chose to broaden my practice into the area of criminal law and began handling drug offense cases. It wasn't long into my criminal practice that I realized there was a need for lawyers who thoroughly understood how to defend a DWI or DUI case.  Soon thereafter, I began the process of learning the ins-and-outs of DWI law. I ultimately joined the National College of DUI Defense which requires extensive study into this particular area of law. To further hone my defense skills, I got trained and certified in administering the Standardized Field Sobriety Test just like law enforcement officers. This gives me the ability to evaluate their administering of the test and go toe-to-toe with them during cross-examination should your case goes to trial.
Â
To sum it up in a nutshell, I am a dedicated lawyer. I am proud of what I do; I am also aware of the serious responsibility bestowed when a client entrusts their case to me. If you care to discuss your case further, feel free to give me a call.

Moving Violation - ticket issued while traveling through LA
Consulted and retained Alvin Hunt for representation on day of court. Initially planned to drive three hours to contest but reached out to Mr. Hunt by phone and he advised on options without an in-person appearance. Professional and courteous especially considering 'last minute' and long-distance. All done over the phone via digital service. Very satisfied with outcome. Highly recommend Hunt Law services.

I am from out of state and needed an attorney. Attorney Hunt was recommended to us. He is an awesome attorney! He went out of his way to keep us updated throughout the case.

Attorney Hunt was wonderful! He was able to get my charge reduced to a substantially lesser charge. He was also VERY responsive and on top of everything. I live out of state and did not have to attend anything, as he represented me for all court events.

He's incredible
Mr. Alvin Hunts work was incredible. I was arrested when trying help an old friend. He was in a bad neighborhood. He had schedule 2 narcotics with him. I had my firearm in the vehicle. I got charged with possession of the schedule 2, with the firearm, and obstruction of justice. With the advice and guidance of Mr. Hunt, they could see that I wasn't a criminal and had all charges dropped. I'm still in awe of his work!

Alvin was straight up with me. Another DWI could have put me in the slammer and cut off my career, and rightly so. He treated me with respect and kept me updated. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. Thank u Alvin

Alvin is a great guy and an exceptional lawyer. I got into a bad situation with a DWI case in Lake Charles and I did not know who to go to for help. I live in Texas and I needed someone who could help me. I called several lawyers in the area and after talking to Alvin I was confident he would be the best one to help me out of my situation. He has far exceeded my expectations and he also had a more than reasonable rate. He has been there to help me through every step of the process and is still working on getting the charge expunged off of my record. I would recommend him to any of my family or friends that need a lawyer to help them figure out the best possible way to handle their case.

Excellent Personal Service
Alvin helped me get my case resolved in my favor. He personally took all interest and helped me get a decision acquitting me from charges.
He was always communicating the updates.
Gave me lot of confidence and reassurances.
Even the staff was always helpful
I am glad that I hired him and would strongly recommend him.

great lawyer
Alvin is an outstanding lawyer. Hiring him really saved my butt. He had tremendous knowledge and a good relationship with the court room people. He always returned my calls and e-mails. even after court was done he walked me to the departments I had to go to and helped explain all my requirements to satisfy the court. I would probably have had to do jail time with out him. I would recommend him with out hesitation.

Turned a mistake into a great learning experience....
Mr. Hunt helped my 20 yr old turn a bad mistake into a great learning experience. He was patient and thorough through the entire process. A well executed plan that ended up way better than I could have ever. imagined. I hope we never have to use him again however I highly recommend his services if a need ever arises.
