Hunter brings to the firm a perspective that sets him apart: he is not only a lawyer, but an entrepreneur who has built and operated businesses from the ground up. Before pursuing law, Hunter founded and led two successful ventures in San Diego — a specialty horticultural enterprise and a consumer softgoods brand — giving him firsthand experience with the challenges that founders, operators, and investors face every day.

That real-world foundation shapes how Hunter approaches legal work. He understands what it means to negotiate a contract when a deal matters, to structure an entity when capital is on the line, and to navigate regulatory complexity when a business depends on it. His clients benefit from counsel that is as practical as it is precise.

Hunter earned his JD from the University of San Diego School of Law and his undergraduate degree from San Diego State University.
