Jim did an excellent job on my custody case. After working with multiple attorneys and not having very good experiences, I needed a great attorney. I found that in Jim and he did an expert job of giving it to me straight while helping me navigate the stress and pain of going through one of the most difficult times of my life. Jim is very caring and patient but did an excellent job of managing my expectations and emotions. Jim is also very sharp and quick to understand which saved me time and money. He also listened to what I needed and gave appropriate counsel and support. He was always on time and never made me feel less important than other cases he was working on. My case was very complicated and involved relocation difficulties, mediation, protective order issues, working with guardian ad litems, custody evaluations among the many fights back and forth with a hostile ex. In court Jim comes very well prepared and was excellent at preparing me to know what to expect. He is also excellent at communicating with the judges and commissioners and was expert at bringing out case law. From the personal care Jim gave me to the professionalism he brought to my case I would refer him to anyone in need of a true family law advocate.

I spent over $50k on lousy attorneys before hiring Jim. He doesn't have a huge online presence, because he doesn't push it. He has enough business without google.

I don't review anyone or anything, but feel I'm doing Salt Lake City a favor here. Jim Hunnicutt is the best attorney I've ever worked with. Brilliant, compassionate, driven to win.

Jim wins. Every single motion, petition, or hearing has gone in my favor. He fights, reasonably. He understands the courts, and is well connected in the local legal community.

Jim is a good human. He talks me down when I am overzealous. He is patient, and deeply compassionate. It's hard to find competitive people who also retain their humanity. That's what you want in a lawyer. Jim is this.

Hire him while he still charges less than $400/hr.

In 2010, when after a 20-year marriage and six children, a divorce became absolutely necessary, the road ahead was frightening and challenging to say the least. After interviewing a few attorneys, I was then referred by a friend to Jim Hunnicutt. After that meeting, it was the first choice in a long time; that was actually easy.

Jim's patience and understanding in that first meeting, were only eclipsed by his precise clarity in explaining to me exactly where I stood and what my options were, going forward. Having someone that can, with confidence and backed by expertise, lay out a plan of action, (even including the unknowns and variables that are a part of any legal proceedings) was a tremendous comfort and safe harbor, especially during a time of such immense turmoil and uncertainty.

Fast-forward a few years. After several ridiculous and fruitless court actions, (all of which needlessly initiated by my ex-husband) I can say with complete certainty, that Jim's knowledge of the law coupled with his zero drama/no surprises philosophy, carried me through the entire process with a positive and just verdict, and with the most efficient and least financial cost possible. As my advocate, his genuine interest in me, the client, was evidenced time and again by always counseling me appropriately on when not to pursue something that would most likely be a waste of time, money, energy and emotion.

Jim Hunnicutt is a brilliant lawyer, and a wonderful person. His associates and staff are kind, professional and capable.
