Peter Hunt

Personal Injury Attorney

About

Born and raised in a small town in Northeast Ohio, Pete learned from an early age that hard work pays off.  Never the most intelligent student or the most gifted athlete, he excelled at both because he worked harder than everyone else.  His beautiful and talented Wife is a fellow trial lawyer.  Together, they have 3 children and 2 Beagles. 

Pete attended the University of Dayton where he received his Bachelors degree in Marketing.  He later moved to Florida shortly after graduation and worked a couple of years before attending law school, which was his dream.
