Over the course of his career he has worked with attorneys and clients across state lines, applying state law and courtroom procedure in matters that arise in regional courts.
Colleagues describe Hunkins as methodical in his approach. He spends time parsing statutes and precedent. He builds positions grounded in the record rather than in rhetoric. That style informs how he prepares filings, conducts discovery and approaches hearings. The work calls for steady legal research, careful drafting and attention to procedural detail.

He handles cases that require navigating both state systems and addressing the practical implications of local rules and timetables. He also participates in professional networks that keep him current on developments in regional practice.
He continues to live and work in the region where he trained. His classroom background in political science and his law school training in Kansas City shape how he evaluates the issues clients bring him.
