A What !!!

I received a mailer from Mr. Hunter and many other Attys because of my arrest. After consulting with 6 in response, Mr. Hunter was my choice. He has a confident demeanor. He didn't make promises only that he would do his best for a favorable outcome that I could accept. Not knowing how the case ...would turn, he gave me the news of a jaw dropping dismissal which " I did not expect". He was truly working harder for me than I knew, and proved it so... "I know he will do it again and again for those he can. THANK YOU MR HUNTER !!!

Mr. Hunter

Got my case dismissed and I did not have to attend court. He was recommended to me by one of his prior clients. I would recommend him, thank you.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
