The firm’s legal experience covers a wide range, including criminal defense and personal injury litigation.

Hunter provides professional and personalized legal assistance for each legal matter you face.
Criminal & Drug
If you have been charged with a crime, the criminal court process you are about to go through is a complex, stressful situation. If you attempt to go through this process alone, there is the risk you may be potentially unaware of your rights and options, or of specific defense issues that can be used to help your case. Consequently, there are clear advantages to having a zealous criminal defense advocate in your corner looking out for your best interest.
Extensive Representation
Whether you have been charged with a misdemeanor that will be handled in District Court or if you have been charged with a felony that will ultimately be disposed of in Superior Court, the following are a few misdemeanors and felony charges we can help defend you against:
- Assault and battery
- DWI
- Drug charges
- Threats/harassment
- Trespassing
- Weapons charges
- Traffic violations and speeding tickets
DWI
At the Law Office of Justin B. Hunter, we pride ourselves on providing the best possible representation for our clients facing DWI charges. We offer an aggressive defense strategy focused on conducting a thorough investigation into the allegations against you. If any procedural errors were made or your constitutional rights were violated, we will not hesitate to fight for a reduced sentence or a dismissal. Contact our law firm today to schedule a free initial consultation with a highly skilled Kenansville DWI lawyer.
We understand this is likely an overwhelming time for you. The last thing you need is to be kept in the dark. Our firm’s DWI defense team is committed to explaining the steps we will take in developing an aggressive defense strategy to avoid the following serious penalties that come from a DWI conviction:
- Mandatory revocation of your driver’s license for at least one year for a first-time offense
- 340 percent insurance premium spike and 12 insurance points added against your driving record.
- Jail time ranging from a minimum of 24 hours to a maximum of 24 months.
- Fines of up to $4,000
You deserve a defense attorney who will fight to protect your rights. If your case ultimately reaches the sentencing phase, it is crucial that all mitigating factors are submitted to the court to lessen the severity of the sentence. We would be privileged to be your advocate standing in your corner assisting you throughout the criminal process and in your administrative driver’s license revocation hearing.
