About Stephen R Hunt
Stephen R Hunt Jr. earned his J.D. from Cumberland School of Law at Samford University after completing a B.A. at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. His legal training combined classroom study with practical exposure to courtroom procedure and case analysis. Those formative years set the direction for a practice that spans several state lines.
He serves as Principal at Cory Watson Lawyers. In that role he manages files, directs litigation strategy and works with teams across offices. He also maintains professional memberships in the American Association for Justice, the Alabama Association for Justice and the Birmingham Bar Association, reflecting ongoing involvement in the bar and trial community.
Hunt is admitted to practice in Texas, Nebraska, Florida and Alabama. He accepts matters in those jurisdictions and handles the logistical and legal complexities that come with multi-jurisdictional representation. That work requires coordinating filings, discovery and court appearances in different venues.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in case preparation. He emphasizes clear lines of communication inside the office and with outside counsel when matters cross state borders. He approaches each file with an eye toward procedural detail and practical scheduling. He also oversees how cases are staffed and prepared for hearings or trial, balancing client needs against court timetables.
Outside of litigation management, Hunt’s practice involves counseling clients on procedural issues that often arise in multi-state matters. He spends time drafting pleadings, preparing evidence and planning depositions. He also works on strategy around jurisdictional and venue questions, recognizing those issues can determine where and how a case proceeds.
His role as Principal combines client work with leadership responsibilities at Cory Watson Lawyers. He helps ensure teams are aligned on case goals and court deadlines. He maintains an active caseload across Alabama, Florida, Texas and Nebraska and coordinates efforts where cases overlap state lines.
He currently focuses his practice on representing clients in matters that require coordinated litigation across Alabama, Florida, Texas and Nebraska.
