Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
I put forth effort and special attention into every case, leading to effective, highly personalized representation. When you hire me, you get me.  My client's case never gets delegated to a junior associate who graduated law school last year.  If you choose to hire me as your attorney, you will always personally deal with me, an experienced, caring lawyer.. My office is in downtown Clayton, the county seat of St. Louis County. As my client you will get aggressive representation without being suffocated by fees and expenses. Many lawyers bill their clients for every fax and copy made.  My fees are reasonable and negotiated in advance.  You will know what expenses to expect and what your fees will be prior to the commencement of representation.. I am always willing to meet and discuss your case free of charge.  If you decide to hire me for your case - great!  If you decide not to hire us you owe us nothing for the meeting.  Thank you for visiting my Avvo page and considering me for your representation.

Justin Hunt

Firm: KC Defense Counsel
2024 Swift Ave , North Kansas City , Missouri 64116
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
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.
