He Gets The Job Done!

I initially met with Mr. Duncan back in January with a no cost, no obligation consultation. At the time, I was overwhelmed with debt (foreclosure, charge offs, and a judgment). Mr. Duncan explained my options in great detail and informed me that my situation (means test pending) qualified for a Cha...pter 7 Bankruptcy. Mr. Duncan asked me why I decided to contact his law firm instead of the other lawyers in Mecklenburg County. I informed Mr. Duncan that I was thoroughly impressed with the content on his website and his informative YouTube videos. The paralegal (Brooke) that was assigned to my case was very prompt with her email responses and informative. Just as Mr. Duncan stated during our meeting, my court filing date was in March and the trustee /creditors meeting was held in mid April. My Chapter 7 Bankruptcy was discharged at the end of June 2016. I am happy to announce that I have just received my brand new secured credit card in the mail on yesterday!

A God Send

Terry Duncan is on your side! I needed assistance with a bankruptcy - I called the right attorney. Terry explained things thoroughly and in "laymen's terms" so I could understand. His staff was patient, and helpful. And what also helps, is he UNDERSTANDS your situation and assists in a personable... manner. I'd never use anyone else.

My Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Terry Duncan is a great Lawyer. He and his staff helped me through the whole process. Terry kept me informed, took the time to explain all of my options. The office visits were always simple and a relaxing atmosphere. I loved that Mr Duncan had a payment plan, so i didn't have to come up with the ful...l amount right away. His staff were very helpful too, the young ladies in the front office are very knowledgeable and they keep in contact with you to make sure Mr Duncan has everything they need from you for your court date. Once you get to court, Mr Duncan is there and takes you aside to prep you on what to do. It was not as stressful as i thought it would be. Mr Duncan makes the whole process painless. You can tell he knows what hes doing, hes very professional. I would refer everyone to him if they are looking for a qualified attorney who will help them when their having financial difficulties. I truly recommend Mr Terry Duncan of Charlotte, NC

Down to earth and professional

I am so pleased with Terry and his firm. He guided me through the process that was very stressful and made it much less tense. I felt confident with his representation and his knowledge. As he promised, all went smoothly, The preparation was excellent and no further info needed to be submitted. He tr...uly knows his profession. And his staff, most of all Brooke was truly wonderful and patient with answers to all my questions thoroughly and comforted me into the hearing. Her responses were always in a very timely manner. Thanks so much to Duncan Law Firm. Helping me get through a horrible time in my life.

Great Lawyer and Staff

Terry and his staff took all the anxiety out of bankruptcy. From the moment my wife and I met him, we knew we were in good hands. He made the entire process streamlined, and so easy to do. He made sure we knew exactly what to do and when to do it. Watching the other clients at the hearing, made u...s know we hired the right firm!
