Hunter is a Partner with Bryson Harris Suciu DeMay. He focuses on standing up for consumers who have been subject to consumer fraud across the United States. He has been involved in high stakes litigation that has resulted in securing settlements for thousands of individuals.
Hunter has recovered over $168 million for aggrieved individuals as court appointed class counsel in state and federal court. These results have been secured often after lengthy litigation with defendants that have considerable resources and a “scorched earth” mentality in litigation. He has argued dispositive motions, preliminary and final settlement approval motions, and engaged in discovery at all levels and sizes.
For his first six years of practice, Hunter worked exclusively with his father and founding partner of Bryson. Under his mentorship, Hunter gained considerable experience in state court and federal court, specifically in the areas of municipal law, mislabeled food and supplement products, and a variety of other consumer products ranging from automobiles to vitamins.
During his time at Campbell, he was an Honor Court Justice, group leader for the peer mentor program for 1L students, and a participant in the Campbell Law connections program.
