Hiring Tanner was the best decision I could have made!

Wow, Tanner sets THE extremely high new standard for all attorney interactions I might have in the future. He is incredibly communicative, thorough, and professional. He answered or called back right away any time I called with questions, and gave me balanced and accurate advice. I felt both confide...nt and comforted while having him as my lawyer. I know for him it is all just in a days work, but he never once made me feel like I was asking invalid questions when I was feeling overwhelmed. His proactive communication and updates kept me organized and on schedule to make sure my case was taken care of quickly. Tanner was such a blessing to find and have as my attorney during a stressful situation; I can’t recommend him enough!

Highly Recommend Tanner and his Team

Tanner and his team were hired in March 2023 and worked on one of family member's case for 18 months. It was a challenging case that faced significant consequences. Tanner worked diligently to ensure my family member's best interests were a priority. The most concerning and stressful part of the e...ntire process were the "unknowns." Tanner went above and beyond with calls outside of typical work hours to ensure we all had the most up to date information and everyone understood what was to be expected next. He worked tirelessly to negotiate the most favorable outcome possible. I would recommend Tanner and his team to anyone who finds themselves in these unfortunate situations.

Juvenile case

I absolutely recommend Mr. DUNCAN. He was helpful from beginning to the end of our case. Very thorough. He talked to my grandson with respect and on his level. My grandson really liked him. Even though it was upsetting to us , Mr Duncan reassured us along the way. He always returned messages ...and calls. His assistant Adrian was just as polite and helpful. I would absolutely rehire if needed. I hopefully never see him again. Lol. Thank you again!
