In the heart of Alabama, where the pursuit of justice meets the spirit of determination, attorney Jaimee Elizabeth Hunter shines as a beacon of unwavering perseverance. Her remarkable journey through the legal world is a testament to her tenacity and dedication. Despite facing numerous setbacks along the way, Hunter’s passion for the law remains unshaken.
Owner and founder of Elizabeth Hunter LLC, a criminal defense, civil rights, and personal injury law firm, located in Birmingham, Alabama, Hunter’s journey began with humble origins. Born and raised in Dayton, Ohio, she, her twin sister and two brothers were brought up in a home steeped in love and limitless support. The importance of education and giving back was impressed upon the siblings from an early age by parents who not only talked the talk but walked the walk.
“My mother is a child protective services supervisor,” she says, “with a big heart and tremendous empathy. While we were growing up, my dad was a probation officer and recently opened his own practice as a therapist, New Beginnings, LLC. My mother and father are amazing listeners. Both of them are such caring, giving people and I like to think I’ve been blessed with attributes from both of them.
“Really listening and being empathetic are both critical to being a good attorney,” Hunter adds. “If you can find an attorney who is truly empathetic, not sympathetic, but one who can see things from your perspective, you’ve found an attorney who can really fight for you with a full appreciation of what you want for an outcome.”
