Ken Hunt, Founder and Principal of Hunt Lawyers and Hunt Migration has had a diverse and varied background, including owning and operating restaurants and retail outlets. This has instilled a sense of customer service not usually found in lawyers.

Ken's goal is to combine high quality customer service with the highest levels of professionalism and ethics.

Our goal is therefore clear, to provide high quality professional migration services at the lowest possible price without affecting performance or quality.

Do not listen to the migration myths. Migration can be very simple and straight forward. Whether you need settlement services or full service migration we can help you. Specialising in skilled, business, family and employer sponsored migration we can help you realise your migration goals today.

The migration industry is unfortunately a 'get what you can, while you can' industry.  The decision to migrate is after all one of the biggest decisions of your life, and not to be left in the hands of those who do not display professionalism and ethical conduct.

MIGRATION AGENTS OR IMMIGRATION LAWYERS?

What many clients don't realize is that the vast majority of agents are new migrants themselves who have completed a short graduate certificate in order to get registered as agents.

They may not necessarily have any experience, nor is there any requirement for them to work under experienced agents prior to running their own business. On the other hand lawyers have at least Bachelors Degree and often Master Degree qualifications and must work for experienced lawyers for three years before running their own business.

More importantly is that Lawyers must operate through government audited trust accounts when handling client money, a requirement not imposed on agents unless in the employ of a law firm.

Migration Agents have no right of appear before Courts of Law and cannot see matters through to completion if this is the course an application takes.  Whilst an Agent can appear in the Migration tribunals, they have no litigious training and rarely do they possess the necessary experience.

Agents cannot advise on related legal issues confronting those contemplating migrating.  Property purchases, family law issues, wills and commercial start-ups etc are all matters which you may want to discuss with your representative, who in these circumstances must be a lawyer.

We strongly urge clients to take these issues into consideration when selecting an agent.

We look to build long term relationships with clients as we believe that once in Australia our professionalism will encourage clients to use the further professional services of Hunt Lawyers and our business partners. Do not wait. Contact us today and let us help you reach your migration goals.
