Hunter is an incredible Lawyer! He was very knowledgeable and compassionate for my case. Hunter took extra steps to make sure I was represented in the best manner. He studied my case throughly easing my stress and anxiety. Attending Trial we were very prepared, Hunter was fully equipped and battled my case. Hunter is well respected in the legal arena amongst peers and the legal department. I was able to come out with a win thanks to Hunter!

Steve Hunter was incredibly professional and helpful during my traffic case. He was very patient with me and walked me through the process as I navigated traffic court for the first time. He was easy to contact and answered all of my questions. He was prompt, organized and thorough. Most importantly, he got me a "non guilty" verdict which was such a relief. His rates are reasonable and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone!

Steven Hunter did a great job representing me last week in court. He explained the process, told me of the possible outcomes and his fees were reasonable. He made this experience go smoothly for which I am grateful. I would definitely recommend his law firm. Thank you

Overpriced & money hungry! Doesn't care about your case. Instead of putting your mind at ease, he scares ya into thinking the worst. Only good thing, was he showed up at my court hearing on time.

Mr. Hunter's extensive experience and knowledge of the law gave him the ability to effectively argue my case in court, which resulted in a dismissal. Great Job and Thanks again!!!

We had a great experience working with Steve Hunter. He was professional, thorough and he ensured we reached an acceptable solution that we’d not have had without his involvement. I highly recommend Steve for his legal services.

Can you give 0 stars? This guy will treat you like you're a complete idiot and talk down to you in every way possible. I don't know how this guy gets through a single day treating people as poorly as he does. I'm from out of town and I suppose he didn't think I'd be worth any referrals in the area so he treated me like I was a moron and laughed me off literally any time we communicated. He is terrible at communication and is secretaries and him seem to not communicate very well. I specifically stated that I was to be reached at a certain phone number but was always called on my work line which I couldn't check during the weekends. I uploaded my community service verification form to his email and I suppose he only uses his Iphone for any and all communications and he told me it wouldn't load so he would need to use his desktop to load it up. He then told me the next day via email 4 hours after his appearance for me in court that "a warrant was issued for your arrest and that he suggests I get a new attorney." Thats it. No explanation. I now have to travel back to Chicago again to attend another court date just like I'm starting all over. Paid him for nothing. Got the shaft. He is an absolute nightmare to even have a 30 second conversation with. Trust somebody else to handle important stuff like this in your life. He is not your guy. Thanks Steven!

I was charged with Domestic Battery - 720 ILCS 5/12-5(a)(1)(Bodily Harm - Class A Misdemeanor) which is a Deportable Crime for anyone who is not a US Citizen. As a Green Card holder it was a matter of Ruining my Entire Career, and Life of me and my Family due to Very Likely Deportation which would've made me Inadmissible to USA for rest of my life.

I was Extremely Worried and didn't want to take any chance, so I've consulted some of the Chicago's Top Rated Criminal Defense Attorneys. Among all of them, I've found Mr. Steven Hunter - Highly Experienced (27 Years-and that too in a Big City like Chicago), Very Aggressive, Highly Knowledgeable, Very Straightforward and Most Important - Very Honest. Yes, Honesty is rare these days, but from my very First Meeting with him, I've found Mr. Hunter Very Honest in his Opinion and Very Reasonable and Transparent in his Flat Fee Structure. Even after knowing the possible Deportation Consequences, he didn't take Advantage of my Situation and quoted a Very Reasonable Flat Fee with a Clear Cut Clarification of When he may have to Charge me Extra and Exactly Why. However, my case didn't reach to that point so he Didn't have to Charge me Extra. On top of that, he made some Suggestions which saved me from Extra Expenses.

Rather than Scaring me more, he has made me feel Relaxed and given Very Honest Opinion and Suggestions. He explained me how Domestic Battery cases work and what were my Available Options. He Explained me in Detail how a Trial Process will happen, and Formulated a Detailed Questionnaire for both me and my Witness, and prepared us Very Well for the Trial. My Goal was to Prove myself Not Guilty and Mr. Hunter has Meticulously prepared my case to Achieve that Goal.

I was very confused about whether to go for a Jury Trial or a Bench Trial. But Mr. Hunter has Spot On knowledge of when to go for a Jury Trial and when to go for a Bench Trial. Based on my case details, he Suggested me to go for a Bench Trial and the Final Outcome of the case has Proved he was Totally Correct. Due to his Extensive Trial Experience with Chicago Courts, he has a Very Good Understanding of how Judges and State Attorneys may behave on a Specific Case.

On the Day of Trial, I was pretty Stressed but he had a Positive Conversation with me and made me feel Relaxed and Fully Prepared for the Trial. His Opening Statement was Very Well Thought and Pretty Effective. The way he has Smartly and Aggressively Cross-Examined the Complaining Witness and other Witnesses, has revealed their Lies and made our Defense more Stronger. He didn't give any Chance to the State Attorney for an Effective Counter Attack, and made the State Attorney Struggle to Prove me Guilty. His Closing Statement was also Very Well Thought and Pretty Effective. Finally, after a long 3 Hour Trial, the Judge has given a Verdict of Not Guilty. I had Tears in my Eyes as Mr. Hunter has Saved me from the Most Critical Crisis of My Life so far. Me and My Family will Never Forget what he did for us.

Mr. Hunter is Undoubtedly the BEST Criminal Defense Attorney in Chicago. If you are Charged or Arrested for any Criminal Matter (and Especially if you are not a US Citizen), I would Highly Recommend Hiring Mr. Steven Hunter or at-least having a 30 Minutes Free Consultation with him, so you can see the Difference between Him and Other Criminal Defense Attorneys.

I have known Steve for more than 30 years and can vouch for him as an attorney and person. I am an attorney, as well, and have had the opportunity over the years to refer clients to him for criminal matters. I have heard nothing but good things about Steve from clients. He is a tenacious and principled person and I am certain does a fantastic job.

Steven Hunter is my go-to attorney for all criminal defense matters. He is an outstanding advocate for his clients and a highly respected member of the legal community. I would never hesitate to send a client his way.

I felt like Steve R. Hunter did not represent me 100%. Steve R. Hunter would arrive 40 minutes late on most of the court dates. Was not satisfied with this lawyer.

I wouldn't recommend. Not only is Steven R.Hunter expensive but also constantly behind schedule.

Steve Hunter helped us tremendously when a family member was arrested. He helped us navigate the confusing law enforcement and judicial process through his combined strengths of incredibly thorough and careful preparation, strong relationships throughout the judicial environment and his ability to impress upon a young person the importance of the choices that are made. These strengths, coupled with his depth of knowledge of the judicial process, made a world of difference and allowed an outcome that we could not have anticipated with a lesser attorney. We are so very grateful for his skills, compassion and dedication to the criminal defense process.
