Down to earth and trustworthy

The staff was very polite and worked with us through the Chapter 13 process. Terry is professional and thorough. His office continues to assist even a year later, with questions that we may have.

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!

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.

Southern charm meets consummate professional

Many of these reviews cover Terry's professionalism, caring demeanor, and wonderful staff, and these are all true. I want to say how much of a relief my 341 meeting was, thanks to Terry and his office staff. I was prepared for some questions from the trustee, but received none other than the standa...rd ones asked to everyone. I appreciated how nicely dressed Terry was (some of the attorneys wore wrinkled shirts, no suit, or I could not tell the attorney from the client). I believe one should show the court the respect it is due, and Terry's dress and demeanor had him standing heads above everyone else there. He was the only attorney to take his clients aside in another room and go over all that would happen. Terry had 6 clients the day of my 341 and all were happy with his representation. I participate on a bankruptcy forum and recommend him privately to anyone who asks. From the forum I had heard many horror stories about attorneys, so much that I almost wanted to go Pro Se. But in finding Terry we found a great attorney, who handled everything with a high degree of professionalism and competence. I cannot forget his fantastic office staff, I especially dealt with Teri Frank "Frankie", who was simply awesome. Any questions I emailed her were answered so promptly, I was never held up for days waiting on answers from the office. I was given help from the moment l walked out after the first consultation! In conclusion, Terry and his staff have the experience and the desire to steer you through these dangerous waters, and I am sure you will be very pleased you chose them. Finally, Terry's southern charm and humor go a long way to ease your worries, and seemed to work well with the trustee!
