I would like to take this opportunity to extend how much gratitude and appreciation I have for both you and the Duncan Law Firm. With the stress of debt taking a toll on me physically and mentally, me and my husband found ourselves lost as to what our next steps (financial) were to be. We never thought Bankruptcy would ever be an option. We were surrounded by fear of the unknown with regards to Bankruptcy, how it would affect us today, tomorrow, how our friends and family would look at us, or how it would affect our credit presently or in the future. We were faced with countless questions and as many of today's generation, we resorted to the worldwide-web for answers. We spent countless hours researching firm after firm and thankfully came across the Duncan Law Firm website. The site had all the answers to our questions and our decision was made, and we could not have made a better choice than the Duncan Law Firm. Little did we know, all our fears and stress were soon on its way out the door. From the initial call to set up an appointment, to the meeting with the Trustee -- the process could not have been made any simpler and stress-free. Each meeting attended was done with such professionalism and any/all our questions were answered. Whenever we had concerns or questions our questions we were comforted with knowing the answers were only a phone call or email away. My husband and I can not thank you and the Duncan law Firm enough for making this stressful burden so light on our shoulders. We would not hesitate to refer the Duncan Law Firm to anyone in need of your services.

“Melissa could not have been more compassionate about our situation or professional in her job. This was not an easy decision for us and we were quite stressed by the turn of events in our lives in the past few years and embarrassed that this was our only option. The staff and Melissa were prompt in answering our questions and responding to us and they walked us through every step of the process. When Melissa was not available, Damon went the extra mile to get the answers for us. We really don't know how we would have made it through this stressful situation without their guidance and kindness. I have already referred a couple of people to them and will continue to do so. THANK YOU, from the bottoms of our hearts!”

This is a very outstanding attorney. Pamela Hunter handled my divorce proceedings. After the consolation, I knew that my case was it great hands. They followed up any questions that I had about the case. Ms. Hunter reviewed the information, researched the information and gave it the upmost attention. My results from the case was much better than I anticipated. People that want a competent, hardworking, and passionate attorney , should choose the office of Pamela Hunter. I have referred several of my associates to Ms. Hunter, with very similar results. If anyone is looking for an attorney that is willing to go the extra mile with outstanding results than this is the best place to go. I highly recommend the Law office of Pamela Hunter

I contacted Jane Morrow, and set up a meeting. Jane was prompt and very understanding. She conducted herself in a friendly and professional manner. I agreed to hire her on the spot. Jane represented me in what was a tortuous and extended legal process that was designed to make me give up and go away with nothing. Jane's constant encouragement and reassurance helped to get me through the process. We settled our case out of court in a very favorable manner due to Jane's awesome skills as a negotiator. I am grateful to Jane and her firm for their diligence and aggressive professionalism. I would recommend Jane's services to anyone!

After I was injured by a negligent doctor, I selected Ms. Morrow as my attorney because of her history as a competent lawyer and a Registered Nurse. It was wonderful to have an attorney who was knowledgeable in the medical aspects of my case; many of the attorneys I initially consulted with had to stop me to explain what certain terms meant, and that was incredibly frustrating for me. I never had this issue with Jane.
In addition to her medical knowledge, Ms. Morrow had an instinctual and intellectual understanding of what to do at every turn in my case. She was always supportive and explained the legal things I did not understand without ever making me feel stupid or burdensome. I really believe that Ms. Morrow cares about her clients' long-term well being. How many lawyers can you truly say care about their clients as people, and not just as case statistics? In my case, for example, Ms. Morrow supported me in pursuing action against the hospital and doctor who negligently assaulted me; other attorneys I consulted early on wanted me to settle for as much money as possible as early as possible, even if it meant not pursuing action against the hosptial. Jane really listened to me and understood that I wanted, more than anything, to spread the word and prevent this person from hurting anyone else. She never made me feel pressured to come to a rapid monetary conclusion to the detriment of my personal goals.
I cannot say enough about what a great attorney Jane Morrow and her cohorts are. If it is important to you that you connect with an attorney who listens to and supports a client through difficult times, who is knowledgeable about medicine in addition to law, and who is a generally good and caring person, you cannot go wrong with Jane Morrow. I am so greatful that I found her during the worst time in my life, and I cannot imagine what might have happened if I had been swayed to employ anyone else.

After firing my last attorney Mr. Weinshenker was next up on the court appointed list. I couldn't have been more lucky. Right away I could tell the difference between the two lawyers. He emailed me a couple times a day. He also was very blunt and let me know the reality of the situation. He's my new go-to lawyer. My case isn't over with but I just want everyone know who is looking for a lawyer, this guy is awesome!

Seth is the best attorney I have had through the course of my divorce and custody cases. From the first time I met him, he was professional, took detailed notes, asked pertinent questions and was highly available. He got my custody case into court quickly and was always more than blunt about the reality of the possible outcomes. He is down to earth, personable, and down to business. And he has a LOT of experience in his field. In one case he actually spent enough time researching law to figure out that the opposing attorney had filed completely improper paperwork against me and the suit against me was dismissed. He is very thorough. I can't say enough nice things about his professionalism. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. He was able to accomplish for me what two prior attorneys in Cabarrus county failed at miserably.

My expectation of working with a lawyer for a medical malpractice suit was not a pleasant one. Marc Downing quickly changed my expectations. I originally dreaded the process, but immediately felt better as Marc Downing reviewed my paperwork expediently. He put attention to the details of my situation, he pulled out the pertinent portions of my many notes and he contacted a medical expert to strengthen my case. All meetings, phone calls, and emails with Marc Downing were communicated with specifics. He helped me understand the procedures and assured me how he and Wilson Law was working diligently to get the compensation that they felt I should have. I appreciate that. I am glad I met Marc Downing and the whole team at Wilson Law. You can expect quality legal help if you choose Wilson Law.

Marc was referred to me by a friend. He is the first lawyer I have ever had the chance to work with and I would work with him again if the need every arose. He was so knowledge about my mother's case the laws and very specific with information gathering and helpful through our whole consultation. In the end we were not able to move forward with a viable case but he made all the recommendations for us to move forward in our quest. We appreciate his knowledge, guidance and compassion during this very difficult time in our families lives. If myself or anyone in my family ever needed a Medical malpractice lawyer he would be the first person I called. Thank you Marc, we wish you and your practice success in all that you do.

There is no words that would give fair praise for Mr. Larsen. He is an incredibly tough attorney who knows what he is doing and does not waste his clients time or money doing nonsense. He is brutally honest about the case progress and where everyone stands. He is very accessible and friendly but he fights the case with intelligence and fierce straightforwardness. He is an incredible human being as well as a top attorney. You will definitely be in good hands.

When I had a personal injury claim against the State of Virginia, I found it difficult to find an attorney willing to take my case…too difficult to sue the State and most likely not enough money to bother with. Even more difficult was the fact I lived in the Midwest. But after a phone conference, Mr. Littel agreed to take my case even though we were up against the statute of limitations and he sent me a contract as well as guidelines for the legal procedure via Clio Connect, a web-based client portal. I was more than pleased to find that David Littel practiced with complete transparency and honesty. He always took my phone calls or answered my e-mails. I was very impressed with his attention to detail, finding questionable statements that could be challenged. It provided me an opportunity to give an explanation eliminating a possible vulnerability. He settled the case for more than anyone anticipated and stood by his agreement. Although there were minor charges he could have added to the final bill, he did not. I would highly recommend David Littel. This is an endorsement I have not been able to make for many attorneys I have dealt with.

Irv and the team made sure that we were well taken care of from the moment we met. Not only was it evident that he was concerned for our case, it was more important that my health and well-being were improved as much as possible. He put me in touch with doctors that assessed and improved my care, and with experts who helped me better understand the long term effects of my new conditions. Fantastic and kind, they truly set our minds at ease.

Mr. Brown was very good about taking me through every step of the process. Even though my case was not the kind where my career was at stake, he treated it with the utmost seriousness and was very professional. My case was ultimately dismissed just before trial; it seemed likely we would win and the plaintiff decided not to go through with it. If I ever have to do this again, I will call him!

I met Ann when she fought to make whole several elders whose homes and belongings were (legally) stolen by a licensed corporate guardian. She did the right thing, not for her benefit, but because she does the right thing. When I was attacked and injured she also fought for me. I trust her without reservation. She is personable, kind and firm when doing right by her clients. A judge I know once called her the most brilliant Attorney he had ever met. That's high praise coming from one of her law school classmates. Call Ms. Jacobs.

Ann Jacobs proved to be a competent and knowledgeable attorney. I was still on crutches when referred to Attorney Jacobs by a colleague and was skeptical about "suing" anyone. Attorney Jacobs convinced me that I had a certain expection, under the law, to visit a public venue safely. Not only was she successful in convincing me, she won the case!
For my convenience, we communicated mostly through email. She was quick to respond to questions and forward important information. I never waited more than half a day for responses.
I would definitely recommend Attorney Jacobs to litigate even the most complicated personal injury cases.
Thanks Ann for all of your compassion, knowledge and willingness to work so hard.

I absolutely recommend Marya Fuller. I was in an auto accident and thought I could handle it on my own, even though other driver admitted fault at the scene and I had a witness, I was way over my head. I was putting bills on my credit cards and not seeking the right treatment, finally after receiving a postcard in the mail, I talked to Marya Fuller and she took over, what a relief it was! She knew things about medical billing, rental car reimbursement and negotiation tactics that I had know idea. They completely accommodated me because of distance, by phone conferences and paperwork via email or fax. Marya, Abby and Vicki always answered my questions right away and explained everything clearly.
So again don't wait like I did, and go through alot of needless stress.

Rick Park was a pleasure to have as an attorney in my personal injury case. I felt very comfortable the first time I sat down with Rick and I knew that he was a trustworthy professional. He was always accessible by phone if I had any worries and the process moved quickly and painlessly. I have acquired one lawyer previously, but Rick is the lawyer I will continue to give my business to and also recommend to others.

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Park on my personal injury case. He was referred to me by a close friend. The trauma and physical pain suffered with my injury was nothing short of life changing in a very negative way. Mr. Park was understanding, extraordinarily competent, and hard working. His advice and guidance every step of the way was invaluable and extremely helpful. I had never been involved in a personal injury case before and his input turned out to be invaluable. He was always very easy to reach by phone or email, kept me updated on all aspects of the case and succeeded in getting me a fair and generous settlement. I would highly recommend Mr. Park and his associates for any of your legal needs.

I interviewed 2 other attorneys, but I knew when I met David Richardson that he was the one I wanted to represent me
I have also sent a friend to him & will continue to do this as he is terrific.
When we went to mediation he drove way out of his way in the snow to pick me up. That meant he had to go from Seattle to Bellevue then back to Seattle, then brought me back home then he had to go back to Seattle where he lives. All this in the snow, I don't know anyone that would go way out of their way to do this for a client, it just speaks of his professional way of taking care of his client
When ever I had a question he always got right back to me, never made me feel I was bothering him
I will continue to send family & friends to David, he is the best!!

I do not write lightly when I say David B. Richardson is trustworthy, (highly) knowledgeable and an overachiever. His representation has helped me moved on with my life during the whole case proceeding. Please note I said I moved on with my life "during" and not after the case was closed. The stress and negativity from the beginning was lifted off from my shoulders. I did not have to worry if Item A was completed, if Item B was given notice, if Item C received X and so forth. My worries and sleepless nights ended when Mr. Richardson represented my family and I.
He treated us with the utmost respect and always gave us his undivided attention. There were many hoops and hurdles, and although at times it was very stressful, David B. Richardson always assured my family and I that he has everything in control (and he did!). He never made us feel that our actions were limited. He did not ever hesitated to suggest different avenues to approach X, Y, and Z. He kept an opened mind and a positive attitude. We grew to know that Mr. Richardson has an extensive background of experience and valuable varieties of resources.
I enjoyed working with Mr. Richardson. I am graciously thankful and grateful for his representation. If any other unforeseen events were to happen in my life, I know who to call. I profoundly recommend every single person who seeks for an attorney who is (but not limited to): well-respected, respectful, open-minded, an overachiever, courageous, intelligent, a mentor, understanding and detemined to fight for your rights and securing a meaningful recovery for yourself and family. TKO!

After working with Ms. Clark, I have a new standard for legal support. If you desire to have someone who will get the job done with finesse and top flight expertise then I would highly recommend Ms. Clark. In fact, I recommended her to a colleague just today. There are plenty of attorneys out there in the field, but you will find an unusual degree of personable support in working with Ms. Clark. Her approach is very much focused on the task at hand, but with the distinct "value-added" of having someone in your corner who truly cares about you as a client as much as the outcome.

Mr Tinker took the time to carefully listen to the details of my case, and his ability to analyze the situation and provide insightful advice was remarkable. He demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal complexities involved and explained everything to me in a way that was easy to grasp.
Not only did he offer valuable advice, but he also explored various strategies and potential outcomes, helping me understand my options. His attention to detail and dedication to my case made me feel like a priority.
Throughout the consultation process, Mr. Tinker kept me updated and promptly responded to any questions or concerns I had. His communication skills and genuine concern for my well-being truly set them apart.
I wholeheartedly recommend this lawyer to anyone in need of medical malpractice legal counsel. If you want a lawyer who will fight for your rights and provide you with the best advice, look no further. Thank you for everything!

Our family hired Bill McMurry to represent my daughter when she was involved in a serious accident. There are very few lawyers that possess the skills and experience that Bill has. That became quickly apparent after conducting some basic research when we started interviewing lawyers to handle her case. We found that there are scores of lawyers that handle accident cases, but very few have extensive courtroom and trial experience. We felt very comfortable with his competency early on. But an important factor we didn't know until he started to work was how much he truly cares about his clients. Our cause was his passion. He kept us fully informed as the case progressed and we were reassured by his determination and negotiating savvy. We are pleased with our decision to hire Bill McMurry, and wholeheartedly recommend him to others.

I hired Attorney Harrison for a personal injury case. Throughout the entire process, Attorney Harrison kept me informed and eased the anxiety that often came with the financial, physical, and emotional burden of a car accident. She was always available for questions, and I never felt she was too "busy" explain a process or advise me on the next steps. The settlement took about a year (with COVID-19 being a prominent reason), but there was never a time I felt my case was not given priority. Even after the case settled, Attorney Harrison extended her help for future services, and I would 100% recommend her for my friends and family.
