Scott Hunter

Attorney

Before forming Hunter & Cassidy, LLC, attorney Scott A. Hunter spent his first six years of practice developing his litigation skills as an insurance defense attorney. He concentrated much of his practice on defending tractor-trailer companies and drivers facing claims of property damage, catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death as a result of collisions. His next eleven years were spent focusing on personal injury law and business litigation through Hunter & Nantz, LLC and then Hunter Law Office, LLC.

Dennis Cassidy

Attorney

Since graduating from law school in 1997, Dennis Cassidy has focused his practice in the areas of personal injury, commercial litigation, and insurance coverage matters. He began his legal career working in Kansas City as an associate attorney with one of the largest defense firms in Missouri, being promoted to partner in 2004. Sparked by a desire to help injured parties pursue their claims for compensation, he left that firm in 2007. In 2014, he joined with long-time friend, Scott Hunter, to form Hunter & Cassidy, LLC.


He has significant experience as lead counsel in civil jury trials in Missouri and Kansas, both in state court and federal court. Since 2005, he has tried two civil jury trials per year on average.
