This is who you’re looking for

Mr. Duncan is not only awesome, friendly, but incredibly knowledgeable, and helped us out a great deal, I don’t think I need to look anywhere else for a Lawyer ever again

Case Closed.

Much better outcome than anticipated . Tanner has thorough knowledge and is efficient. He was very caring and compassionate of my daughter’s fragile medical and mental status.

Tanner looks out for his clients and truly cares about his clients .

I was in an accident and was sighted for two traffic offenses that became very serious very quickly. I was facing very serious charges and I needed to find a defense attorney that deals with hit and skip charges. I was in a complicated situation and time was important and the attorney that I... was going to have to find out of the blue and had to be elite. I contacted Tanner Duncan after speaking with a few attorneys. I chose Tanner after discussing my situation and I put 100% of my trust in him. The thing I liked about Tanner he was honest and he had a lot of patience with me during this stressful situation. This accident could have destroyed my life in a number of ways and staying positive was tuff but Tanner Duncan has a way of keeping you calm and using his knowledge and experience to represent his clients. The court date came and Tanner got me a deal that made the most sense and was for sure the best deal outcome for my situation. Thank you so much Tanner !! Erik

Honest, available, Hard Working,

Tanner Duncan was completely upfront with charges and penalty. Worked with breaking down charges and laying out a plan. Was there with us every step of the process. He was able to eliminate the felony charges and negotiate a great deal. Could not be more satisfied and thankful for his time and hard... work.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
