Do not hire Erica Duncan if you are a Father going through divorce

It was very clear that Erica did not adequately represent me through divorce and the parenting plan. Many of the agreed upon items did not make it into the final judgement, and her disrespect of my position caused me emotional duress that I was not able to extend the energy to thoroughly review ev...ery last detail. I thought I was paying her to accomplish this for me. Towards the end, I dreaded our interactions, expecting the condescending tone she always provided. Additionally, she never provided recommendations but only gave me lengthy wordy $300/hr monologues about what the law states and I resented every $5 minute of her indirect useless verbosity. The parenting plan in the final judgement did not include the agreed-upon summer schedule. The child support language also did not include flexibility as financial situations evolved, nor other stipulations agreed upon between the parties. Overall I felt like Erica treated me with disrespect and did not act as my fiduciary. It was clear she was acting on her personal perspective as a mother of young children, milking my bank account, and 100% not in the interest of the father.

It is unclear if this anonymous reviewer intended their review for this page, which is for Erin Duncan's services, not Erica. The matter does not sound familiar. It is my practice to ensure that clients review drafts and final documents before signing them, to be detail-oriented, and to advise clients about the law and its impact on their case and their unique situation. Sometimes this means giving clients advice they do not agree with, or explaining how the courts may view their position in a way they do not expect or think is fair. I do not discriminate based on gender identity, family role or other personal identifiers. I do not know if the reviewer was a client and if the reviewer reached out to discuss their bill at no charge if they had concerns. The reviewer is welcome to contact The Reynolds Law Firm, which strives for excellent client service and satisfaction, to directly discuss any concerns.

Advice Given

I was going through my divorce, and I came in and had a consultation with Erin. She was very easy to talk to and helped me think of the best way to process what I needed to get done. She was very accessible, via phone, email or in person and was willing to answer all my questions. I would highly r...ecommend her.

Top Notch Professional

I couldn't have asked for a more compassionate, efficient, and professional attorney to work with. Erin was there every step of the way during my divorce. She explained my options with clarity, answered all of my questions in an expedient manner, and always kept me abreast of the entire process. H...er professionalism helped my family remain whole during this difficult time. I sincerely appreciate the support I had from Erin and from the entire staff at Reynolds Law.

Erin Duncan

I worked with Erin for the most unpleasant situation with my ex husband and my kids. She was great and very understanding about a very stressful situation and was very professional. She always got back to me by email for a phone call and was on top of my case all the time.
