Expungement

I knew I wanted to hire Tanner after the first phone call I had with him. I had already talked to two other lawyers about my situation and Tanner was more thorough and more knowledgeable than the lawyers I talked to previously. He was patient and understanding and took the time to answer all my quest...ions and go through all my options. I had a multitude of charges, misdemeanors and felonies, in different counties. Tanner set up appointments with me before every court date and came to every court date well read, well studied, and well prepared. All my charges were expunged. There is no other defense lawyer I rather hire. Tanner turned an overwhelming and stressful series of events into a great and pleasant experience!

Tanner Duncan Review

If you're seeking a legal representative who is honest, pragmatic, responsive, and will be thorough and thoughtful throughout the process, I highly recommend Tanner Duncan. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication in helping me achieve the best possible outcome was evident during my experience ...working with him. In addition, his attention to detail and thorough understanding of the law were invaluable in helping to guide, as well as educating me, on the complexities and various outcomes each step of the way. I greatly appreciate his patience and ability to thoroughly explain the pertinent legal matters. No matter the time of day or how busy his schedule, Tanner was always timely and proactive in his communication. Tanner's character and reputation precedes him in a positive way, creating many beneficial working relationships within the legal system. I would highly recommend his services to anyone seeking legal representation.

All you need is to follow his advice, and all will be alright. For anyone needing professional legal service from a well experienced criminal attorney, Tanner Duncan is your best choice.

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.
