Hunter Ames

Hunter Ames is an attorney in Morgan & Morgan’s Washington, DC office who focuses on personal injury law. He represents people who have been wrongfully injured and brings a litigation-oriented background to the evaluation and development of injury claims. His practice centers on helping clients navigate legal challenges after accidents or other negligent conduct, with attention to evidence, negotiation, courtroom preparation, and the practical consequences that injuries can create for individuals and families.

Hunter earned a J.D. from the University of Florida Levin College of Law in 2022 and a B.S. from Florida State University in 2015. His legal education prepared him for advocacy, legal analysis, and litigation procedure. After law school, he immediately applied that training in a high-volume public defense role, where he handled serious criminal matters, conducted hearings, examined witnesses, made evidentiary objections, and developed the courtroom judgment that now supports his personal injury practice.

Hunter served as an Assistant Public Defender in Columbus, Georgia from 2022 to 2024. He represented thousands of clients charged with felony and misdemeanor offenses, conducted hundreds of preliminary hearings, negotiated bond agreements, and served as second chair in a felony trial that resulted in a not guilty verdict. That experience gave him extensive exposure to live testimony, evidentiary issues, negotiation, and the preparation required to advocate effectively in court.

Hunter Ames is admitted in Virginia and previously held Georgia admission on inactive status. At Morgan & Morgan, he applies his courtroom experience to personal injury representation in Washington, DC. His background helps him assess facts, prepare witnesses, challenge opposing positions, and approach negotiations with trial considerations in mind. He focuses on guiding injured clients through complex legal processes while pursuing accountability and compensation for harm caused by negligence.
