Founding partner Scott G. Hunziker maintains a national practice in the first party insurance arena, with an emphasis in bad faith carrier conduct. For over a decade, Scott was a named partner and served as a managing partner for top plaintiff law firms within the industry. Licensed in five states and fourteen federal courts, he represents clients and appears in courtrooms across the United States. Scott has taken over fifty jury trials to verdict at both the state and federal levels. Duly licensed to practice before the United States Supreme Court, he has also briefed and argued over thirty appeals, appearing personally before the United States Courts of Appeal for the Fifth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth Circuits.

In representing business owners and homeowners alike, Scott has served as lead counsel in seminal cases before judges, juries and arbitration panels, which have impacted the entire insurance world. In each instance, and with each opportunity, Scott has fought for the policyholders, public adjusters, and all others "on the right side of the battle". Now, he is proud to continue that journey with Benjamin P. Barmore to once again create an industry leader in the area of insurance law. In doing so, his principles and purpose remain the same as when his career began: "You may gain a client with knowledge or skill, but you keep them by earning their trust and maintaining their confidence." Twenty years of experience has taught him that this can only be accomplished by treating individual matters with individual respect, by conducting a detailed evaluation of both the factual and legal threads of every case, by putting honesty and economic sensibility ahead of spin and rhetoric, and by recognizing that each client's case is as significant and profound as the experiences that guide his practice.
