James M. Hunnicutt

I started the divorce process naively thinking I could handle it on my own. I found out that was a very poor decision. A year and a half into the divorce, nothing was moving forward and I felt defeated after every court hearing. I knew it was imperative to find a great attorney that would fight for m...e. I began my search by reaching out to a local law firm that I trusted. Jim was their number one recommendation to handle my complicated case. Our consultation left me impressed and hopeful that Jim could get my case moving forward and that he would actually fight for me. Hiring Jim was the best decision! I am so grateful for his excellent communication skills, expertise with divorce law, and the compassion that he and his team showed me throughout this difficult phase of my life! I could not have asked for a better team to work with. Thank you!

Like many, divorce was something I never expected to confront in my life. Finding an attorney that resonated with me turned out to be difficult to find. After paying for a number of initial consultations, I appreciated Jim's candor with me and interest in being a partner in this process. He was str...aightforward with me, taught me about the process and was very responsive and innovative in his approach. Jim and his staff were willing to work with me on my terms and to customize a settlement plan without the lengthy court process and to also customize his retainer and billing to accommodate what I wanted to achieve. He was willing to roll with the process and we reached a very quick settlement that saved both sides a lot of money and time. The most impressive part of this process, however, was what happened when the settlement was called into question by the other side. This is when Jim's work and advice to me really paid off. Although it cost me some extra money to defend the settlement agreement, Jim was right there with me, confident and willing to stick to the work we had done. I appreciated, again, his candor with me and his clear instruction and transparency which all saved me costs without compromising the strength of our original work. Jim's careful attention to detail, his well-researched advice, and his very impressive letter of opposition and counter motion made the original settlement stick and hold solid. Jim is an innovative lawyer and a straight talker and his work has proved to stand the test of time for me in my situation. I highly recommend him and his team.

Jim came recommended across state lines when our family was facing a very tough relocation custody case that included an abusive, very challenging party on the other side. He has been firm, compassionate, taken the time to really understand the intricacies of our situation, the children, who the oth...er party is, and has been excellent at helping our family navigate this very trying time with humor, kindness and a killer strategy that focuses on the children first, a component that at times feels lost in this process. He knows his stuff, references additional information and draws on the facts to make powerhouse points that bring about positive action. You are in great hands with Jim and his team. And you’ll likely thoroughly enjoy your time with him as you navigate an otherwise miserable landscape.

My wife and I would highly recommend Dolowitz & Hunnicutt! On one of the worst days we have ever experienced we reached out to their firm. Their assistant relayed the information to one of the attorneys and we were quickly in contact as our situation was time sensitive. We were scheduled almost immed...iately. We were treated with kindness and respect as we met with two attorneys and several of their staff. We retained James Hunnicutt as our attorney and would recommend him to anyone. He worked hard to quickly change things around. Not everyone has to take on a Judge to keep the child they love but Jim was knowledgeable and worked proficiently on our case and the immediate threat from the court was resolved. We were able to adopt our sweet baby thanks to the timely and compassionate work of their law firm. - Beckie & April (Same-Sex Foster & Adoptive Parents)
