Our Firm
Our Story
The story of HSK dates back to the 1940s. Back then, Fort Wayne attorney Leigh L. Hunt earned a reputation as a knowledgeable and effective trial lawyer. In 1950, he opened his own law firm, concentrating on litigation and committed to giving his clients the best service possible. Through the years, as the firm grew, it became widely recognized for outstanding service, talented and capable attorneys and a knowledgeable staff.
The firm was founded on the idea of combining traditional work ethic with modern technology and contemporary techniques to best serve its clients. Through the years, it too became known for outstanding service and talented attorneys.
HSK is a premier law firm in northern Indiana with one of the area’s largest civil defense litigation practices. HSK works with the insurance industry and national corporations as regional counsel. HSK also has experienced attorneys to handle commercial, corporate and estate services, as well as employment services.
At HSK, we remain as committed to Mr. Hunt’s ideal of providing the best service possible. Effective communication skills and the ability to find successful solutions to clients’ problems through knowledge, integrity, experience and efficiency, are the hallmarks of HSK.
