Highly recommend!

Tanner Duncan was worth every penny, no questions asked. As someone who was facing first time criminal charges I was so nervous and anxious daily that I was nauseous and couldn’t live my life in peace until I knew this was over. Tanner and his case manager guided me through every step in detail and c...ontinuously assured me how I was in good hands, and I always felt very at ease with him as if he was a friend I knew on a personal level. Don’t let him being young and seemingly new fool you. He knows exactly what he’s doing and fought tooth and nail to get me the best possible outcome (which I eventually did). Sure, it’s his job but not everyone has the passion and personality to get the best results. I will always be thankful for him and plan to continue with his services in the future

Excellent lawyer and person

Tanner Is an excellent lawyer that does what he says he will do and is very knowledgeable of the law. He helped me with my case with professionalism and pride in what he does. I would definitely recommend Tanner and Suhre and Associates with any criminal defense issues again as they were able to get ...my case dismissed. Thanks Tanner

local legend

I got charged with minor in possession of alcohol. This man proceeded to take of everything for me and went above and beyond to make I get this charge off. He talked to the diversion officers for me, made sure I stayed on top of my diversion program and when I missed court on accident he made sure I... did not get in more trouble than I already am. At the end day business' was taken care of. Hire this man.

Can help with any type of DUI - Underage / Regular

Life is a learning lesson and along the way you make mistakes. It’s always good to have someone who knows what they are doing and can give you professional help throughout your case. Tanner really helped get me through my case and through some dark times and got me off on minimal consequences. Excell...ent Attorney!

My experience with this law firm.

I had a tremendously positive experience being represented by this law firm and specifically Tanner Duncan. He was always courteous and professional and made me feel as though he had a genuine concern for justice on my behalf. The outcome was exactly as I suspected and all charges were dismissed. At ...no point was I left wondering about anything pertaining to my case. All my questions were always answered in a timely manner. My understanding of the process was explained in great detail before anything ever even went down in a courtroom. You couldn't ask for anything more out of a lawyer. I will be using this law firm as long as I live in this area of the country and they are available to represent me. In fact I intend to use them for an upcoming civil case.

  • 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.
