St. Johns County Clerk of Courts HUNTER S. CONRAD is STILL Concealing Records on Anti-Gay Battery Prosecution in State of Florida v. FREDERIC STERRY SMITH




What's going on here? This case was reported locally and nationally, yet HUNTER S. CONRAD's office is standing in the Courthouse door, preventing public access to our public records, including the police report.

Conrad focused on litigation in criminal and family law where he operated the firm’s satellite office. Before joining Canan Law, Conrad was an Assistant State Attorney for the 7th Judicial Circuit of the State of Florida. While working at the State Attorney’s Office, he prosecuted cases ranging from simple thefts to attempted murders, to sex crimes. In addition to several years of practicing law, before becoming clerk, Conrad worked both in banking and finance.
Education
