From the beginning of this case (back in May of 2015) I was able to get advice from Jason up to now. I was in a car accident and was not at fault. Once I was able to talk to Jason, he was able to help me out immediately and took action towards my case. Throughout the whole year of paper work, phone calls, signing papers, etc. I was patient enough until the end. Once the case was over, I was able to get my sharing with getting a better car and able to pay for my medical bills. I recommend this attorny to anyone!!

Me and my girlfriend were side swiped by a 18 wheeler truck. I retained Jelani to assist with filing a claim for minor injuries sustained. We were very satisfied with the settlement Jelani obtained for us.

hello, my name is Tommy and I was at the trial day one for Mr. Daly... I saw the unethical corruption that the prosecutor tried to present to the jury .. I was dumfounded that an officer of 30 years with zero write ups on his name was found guilty by a jury and he has to now have this on his record for the rest of his life.. UNBELIEVABLE. None the less, Timothy Hunsaker did a dang good job by defending Officer Daly and Mr. Hunsaker is a beast in the court room..

TJ represented me in a very complex and intricate case involving government corruption. I was a 30 year police officer who began calling out corruption within the Desoto Missouri Police Department. The chief of police retaliated against me on lawfully terminating me then having me criminally chargedfor use of force that was legitimate and trained.. Unfortunately, Jefferson County is known for corruption and the “good boy system“. So TJ had his work cut out for him. After four years of back-and-forth and several attempts by the Jefferson County Missouri prosecuting attorney’s office and intimidating me. I took my case to a jury trial. TJ was very instrumental and keeping me updated on everything. He listened and he conducted himself very ethically around people who wouldn’t know what the word “ethics“ are. During the trial TJ was quick to catch one of the states witnesses, a captain with the Jefferson County Missouri sheriffs department, who is the head of their detective bureau, perjuring himself on the stand. Unfortunately, as things go in Jefferson County, the jury did not render the verdict we wished, but it could’ve been much worse. I was charged with one count of felony assault and two counts of misdemeanor assault. TJ with the assistance of. Breanne Besheer was able to successfully argue my case, and I was not convicted of a felony just misdemeanors. It’s not the outcome we all wanted, but of course we all looked at that as a win for avoiding the felony. As stated, this case was very complex and intricate and involved corruption at the highest levels of Jefferson County government and the De Soto, Missouri Police Department. if you’re looking for an attorney who actually cares and conducts himself with ethics and will fight strong for you I would urge you to contact TJ Hunsecker.

I cannot thank TJ Hunsaker enough for his exceptional work in my case. Facing false accusation was one of the most challenging and stressful experiences of my life. From our very first meeting, TJ demonstrated compassion, professionalism, and a deep understanding of the legal system. He thoroughlyinvestigated every aspect of my case, leaving no stone unturned. He meticulously gathered evidence, identified inconsistencies in the accusations, and built a strong defense that ultimately proved my innocence. His courtroom presence was commanding and confident, and his ability to present the facts with clarity and precision was remarkable. Beyond his legal expertise, TJ was always available to address my concerns and keep me informed throughout the process. He genuinely cared about my well-being and provided the reassurance I needed during such a difficult time. Thanks to TJ, my name has been cleared, and I can move forward with my life. If you are looking for a dedicated and skilled attorney who will fight tirelessly for your rights, I highly recommend Timothy Joseph Hunsaker, he is an outstanding lawyer.

Hiring the right lawyer is crucial for the success of your case. Here are some important questions to ask during your initial consultation:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. Who will be handling my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  4. What is your approach to resolving cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. What potential outcomes can I expect?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the expected timeline for my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What challenges do you foresee in my case?

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Saint Louis, Missouri?

Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:

  • Within the Same State:
    Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state.
  • Outside of Their Licensed State:
    If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:
    • Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
    • Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
  • International Representation:
    For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.

It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  • Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose.
  • Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history.
  • Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences.
  • Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards.
  • Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community.
  • Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  • Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their abilities and professionalism.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  • Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Contracts or agreements
    • Correspondence (emails, letters, texts)
    • Legal notices or court papers
    • Financial records (if applicable)
    • Evidence (photos, videos, receipts)
  • Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and parties involved. This helps the lawyer quickly understand the context.
  • List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, fees, or the lawyer's experience.
  • Financial Information:
    If your case involves financial matters, bring relevant documents like pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, or invoices.
  • Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case, including their names and contact information.
  • Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes.
  • Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points discussed.
  • Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations so the lawyer can provide appropriate guidance on fees and payment options.
  • Openness and Honesty:
    Be prepared to discuss your case candidly. Full disclosure allows the lawyer to give accurate advice and anticipate potential challenges.
