Built for High-Stakes Moments.

Dimitri Hurt was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. After graduating from Arizona State University with his B.S. in Justice Studies, Dimitri moved to San Diego, California, where he attended Thomas Jefferson School of Law on an academic scholarship.

As a law student, Dimitri immersed himself in entertainment-related curriculum beyond the general core classes, studying music law, copyright law, trademarks, sports law, fashion law, and general entertainment law transactions. In his final year of law school, he secured a prestigious and highly coveted judicial clerkship with the Honorable Judge Trina Thompson of the Alameda County Superior Court, who now sits on the federal bench of the Northern District of California in San Francisco. While working with Judge Thompson, President Barack Obama appointed her to serve on his judicial council. Her workload demanded excellence, and the experience pushed Dimitri to excel in legal research, policy, and legislative reform and implementation. He still uses the skills he learned from Judge Thompson in his daily life as an attorney.

Shortly after passing the California Bar, Dimitri moved to Los Angeles to pursue his legal career. In early 2014, he landed a position as an associate attorney at a boutique law firm in Beverly Hills, where he learned the ins and outs of general civil litigation and criminal defense. Simultaneously, Dimitri began a talent management company and, under his guidance, grew multiple clients into household names with millions of followers. He quickly realized that entertainers have regular problems just like everyone else, and found himself representing his clients in all areas of the law, including criminal defense, family law, personal injury, labor and employment law, trusts, and real estate transactions.

In 2015, Dimitri co-founded O'Connor and Hurt PC, a law firm that specializes in servicing the needs of entertainers. To date, he has successfully represented countless platinum recording artists, producers, executives, and their teams as they navigate through all areas of the law. Although the firm was founded with the intention of servicing entertainers at first, it has evolved to service the needs of entertainers and the general population alike.

Dimitri enjoys educating people on the law and has served as a guest lecturer at Chapman University School of Law in Santa Ana, California, Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona, and Southern University Law Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Entering his 13th year as a licensed attorney, Dimitri looks forward to continuing to serve the needs of the community through education and competent representation.
