Heidi obtained her Associates of the Arts Degree from Edmonds Community College in 1997. Heidi obtained a Bachelors Degree in Law and Justice from Central Washington University in 1999, where she graduated Cum Laude. Later that year she was offered a partial scholarship to attend Gonzaga University School of Law.

Heidi moved to Spokane in 1999 and started law school later that fall. Heidi quickly caught Gonzaga Bulldogs fever, and she has battled it ever since. During 2000 and 2001, she interned at the Center for Law and Justice where she was able to begin representing clients. On her very first case, Heidi was able to find a problem with the law that was enacted to prosecute juvenile DUIs. This problem had the potential to affect all juvenile cases with similar facts, so the prosecutor offered her client a deal that was too good to refuse. The case was settled after oral arguments. In 2002, Heidi was one of only six people from the entire law school who was hand-picked by Speedy Rice to represent Gonzaga on their National Trial Team. She spent almost two hundred hours learning trial techniques from one of the greatest trial lawyers around. Although it was a lot of hard work, Heidi credits her experience with Speedy Rice as the key to her rapid success. 

Heidi obtained her Juris Doctorate from Gonzaga Law School in 2002. She took the first Bar Exam offered and passed. She was admitted to practice law on May 16, 2003. On June 6, 2003, Heidi opened her practice in Everett, Washington under the guidance of Tom Gissberg. Tom took Heidi under his wing and imparted in her decades of knowledge from both the legal aspect and simply that of life. He helped make Heidi's transition from student to lawyer about as easy as it could be. Heidi will forever be grateful for all of Tom's help. From 2004 to 2005 Heidi acted as a contract lawyer for the Snohomish County Office of Public Defense. In that capacity she was able to handle more than 500 cases. She utilized those cases to develop professional relationships with the local Prosecutors and Judges. She now has a wealth of experience to draw upon in just about any given circumstance. In October of 2005, Heidi expanded her practice. She moved her office to a larger building in Bothell, Washington near her home. That same month she began hiring a team of dedicated legal professionals. Thanks to a great number of referrals, and the hard work of her team, Heidi's practice keeps growing.

Chris Maryatt attended Vassar College, where he was a double major in political science and music, before enrolling in Seattle University School of Law. He was a teaching assistant in both college and law school, the latter of which he attended with the help of a prestigious Presidential Scholarship. Chris developed an interest in criminal law very early in law school, and spent two summers interning for the prosecutor’s office in Anchorage, where he was able to combine his love for the outdoors with courtroom litigation. He also wrote for the Seattle Journal for Social Justice law journal while during his later years in law school, and wrote a forty page analysis of the landmark state Supreme Court case, Anderson v. King County.

After graduating from law school, he has worked for a variety of prosecutor’s offices, including the City of Seattle, King County, and Snohomish County. During that time, he handled thousands of traffic infractions, thousands of misdemeanors, and hundreds of felonies. He now handles criminal matters for the Law Offices of Heidi Hunt, and draws on his relationships with attorneys on both sides of the aisle and his experience as a prosecutor to achieve the best results. Chris continues to write, and is the editor of the Washington State Bar Association’s Criminal Law Section publication. He has served on the Executive Committee of the Criminal Law Section, and is the only member of the current leadership to switch from representing prosecution to defense while remaining uninterrupted on the board.

In his free time, Chris still enjoys music, playing the piano and writing music. He also continues to enjoy the outdoors. He has climbed Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens, and has a goal of climbing all of the major volcanoes in the cascade range. When he cannot hike in the winter due to the weather, he enjoys snowboarding.
