Practicing nationally, Jay's colleagues around the United States have rated him "AV Preeminent" through Martindale-Hubbell* since 2013. First licensed to practice law in 2002, Jay Hurst has helped all manner of federal defendants through charges ranging from violent street crime to public corruption to high-dollar, white-collar misconduct. The first college graduate from a family that included its share of moonshiners, Jay understands that very few “bad guys” are truly bad human beings. People sometimes make poor choices, but Jay knows – and shows how – people facing prosecution are more than just the worst thing they’ve ever done. For fifteen years, Jay has translated his experiences into a simple practice philosophy: everyone deserves the Constitution’s protection, and a second chance. * AV®, BV®, AV Preeminent® and BV Distinguished® are registered certification marks of Reed Elsevier Properties Inc., used under and in accordance with the Martindale-Hubbell certification procedures, standards and policies.

A dedicated Attorney that has integrity beyond measure. Goes above and beyond to make sure you understand the dynamics of your case.
Mr. Hurst answered my question so clearly, concisely and descriptively. His explanations were extremely helpful, which I truly appreciate. He was kind, empathetic and actually cared about giving me the best answer possible, not only with my original question, but with an even better follow up when I thanked him for his answer. He is a good human being, which I believe helps makes him a great lawyer. I wish he was in my area, I would hire him for sure.
He went above and beyond to help me with this problem. I would recommend him for any legal solution
Jay answered a question I had posted about an ongoing case. He responded to all my follow up questions in a timely matter, and was easy to communicate with. His advice helped to reaffirm my decision, and gave me the confidence I needed to move forward.
He is very well spoken,and extremely knowledgeable in every area of law I've asked him of. Very considerate of your situation but honest about the outcome posibilities as well. He is a very kind person and I feel honored to have him on my fiance's side, on my my side. I feel like there's a greater chance of us beating this case or at least walking away with the best possible outcome. I would recommend EJ Hurst to anyone whom was needing an attorney who cares about what everyone should have on there heart and mind, "JUSTICE". Thank you for the attention and time your giving to Jimmy's Case!! You have taken a ton of unanswered questions & concerns from my shoulders since your arrival in our lives so far, we cant wait to see what else your capable of... Thank you for everything so far EJ, Luana & Jimmy
I had the pleasure of having Jay give me a consultation on a BOP issue in California. Mind you, he is on the East Coast but Jay took my call. He eased my concerns and gave me sound advice as to moving forward. Jay is not only a gentleman but smart and personable. I highly recommend him for any issues with regard to the Federal prison system. Jay is one of the good guys! If you are in the trenches, Jay is the man to help dig out if it.
I had been requesting information on the meaning of a law based on a typo and he provided the correct one. It was provided in less than an hour after I'd posted it. I appreciate that, and the fact that he was paying attention.
All these good reviews must be from friends or family members. Worst attorney ever. Wasted time and money with someone that did not care or do what needed to be done at all. Promised phone calls that never got. Hardly no communication at all and have records to prove it he filed what he wanted to file and did no justice. He only did the bare minimum. So disappointing. If you need real legal help for something serious, this is not it.
