The City of Monroe is pleased to announce that Attorney Scott Hunt was officially sworn into his new role as Staff Attorney this week at the Union County Courthouse.
Hunt brings more than two decades of legal experience to the position. He previously practiced law in Kentucky, where he worked extensively in litigation and represented municipal, county, state and quasi-governmental boards and entities. His background includes handling a wide variety of litigation matters, representing boards and commissions at meetings, drafting and reviewing easements, leases and contracts, and conducting real estate closings.
In his role with Monroe, Hunt will assist the City’s department heads with legal questions and represent the City in a variety of matters. He will also work closely with City Attorney Richard Long Jr. and Senior Staff Attorney Terry Sholar to support the City's legal operations.
“The City is very fortunate to have an attorney with Scott’s background and broad experience join our legal staff,” said City Attorney Richard Long Jr. “We look forward to working with him to make the City Attorney’s Office the best it can be.”
Hunt and his wife, Laura, who works for Wingate University, live in Union County with their two children. He said he is eager to get to know the community and learn more about the City's ongoing projects.
