ROBEN D. HUNTER. JD, CPA, CVA, CFFA. I have been practicing accounting and/or law in the Twin Cities since 1990. My client's and their opportunities help define me and my work. The ability to dissect at an issue from both a legal and a tax perspective gives me a more comprehensive view of my client's situation. Understanding the tax ramifications of the law is quite helpful when working on an estate plan or a business transaction.. My estate planning interests led me to become a trustee for several of my clients over time. That service is one that has been a rewarding part of my practice. I enjoy servicing others, and the fiduciary relationship a trustee plays in a person's life can be a very important and challenging role.. I put the law, accounting and estate planning practices together when deciding to obtain my certification for business valuations. It brings my accounting background, by analysis of the various valuation techniques, and my law background, researching and drafting the document, into one exercise. Working on a valuation utilizes all of my talents, which is one reason it has become more and more of my practice each year.. In 2009 I decided that I wanted to enhance my practice by learning about expert witness testimony. I became a certified financial forensic expert witness in early 2010. Working on the financial issues of litigation has again moved my practice into a world that combines all of my expertise in one project.. The diversity of my background has led to this interesting and rewarding practice, creating the experience and credentials necessary to meet your needs. I look forward to the challenges ahead and finding creative solutions to help you achieve your goals..

Before law school, I worked in the pharmaceutical industry as a medical writer where I wrote regulatory documents that supported applications submitted to government agencies for the approval of new and generic drugs used to treat a variety of illnesses and conditions. My experience in working in this highly regulated environment led me to leave science in pursuit of a legal career.. As a scientist and now as an attorney, my passion is, and has always been, to serve as an advocate for people facing difficult, often life-changing, issues. I work hard to provide the personal attention and dedication to my clients’ cases that they deserve. My background of personal and professional experience is both unique and complimentary to my practice areas, which includes mainly criminal defense and immigration law.
