Smart, Professional, Knowledgeable and Thorough

We are so grateful to Erin Duncan for all her counsel, help and support. Erin worked with us to quickly answer an initial request to terminate spousal support. She then put together a USD and request for discovery, responded to a request for discovery, negotiated a new settlement and made sure that t...he settlement process was completed to our satisfaction. We so appreciated Erin representing us in a professional and affirming way. Erin paid great attention to detail, made sure we were well communicated with, helped us understand what was going on and what was needed. She always followed up and followed through. It was an extremely stressful time, but Erin and her team’s care and kindness every step of the way supported us through this difficult and complicated process. We are so thankful that Erin was able to negotiate a new settlement in a timely way despite the pandemic. We are thrilled with the outcome. We recommend Erin Duncan and team without any reservations. Many, many thanks.

Confident, intelligent, collaborative and effective

Erin represents my mother-in-law and our family has been working closely with her. Simply put, Erin is a consummate professional that knows her stuff. She has communicated throughout the process, explained possible outcomes of different strategies and made solid, well thought-out recommendations for ...how we move forward. She has a wonderful team she works and confers with when she has questions or is seeking additional ideas for overall strategy. Her willingness to do this makes her incredibly effective and gives us the peace of mind that we are being represented by someone that genuinely has our best interest in mind. I cannot recommend Erin strongly enough or express how she has helped make a terrible situation not only bearable, but allowed us the ability to feel optimism for a positive outcome.

Waste of time and money

We went to Erin for a stepparent adoption. We had done a lot of the leg work and had prepared a lot of the filing. She let us know repeatedly she didn’t prefer to work with clients who prepped their own paperwork but we were confident. Sure enough the info we had was right and she gave not only the w...rong instructions but gave us an incomplete filing causing delays, multiple trips to the office and being rejected by the courts. Beyond the wasted time and money it really dampened what should be such an exciting time for our family. Making it much more complicated. I’m incredibly disappointed in spending our hard earned money on someone who was so ill equipped to help us. Wish we would have had more value for our money and hired an experienced lawyer in stepparent adoptions. STILL trying to complete it. The office is nice but my guess is they should Spend less time trying to impress people and more time actually providing correct legal advice.

Replied last October 31, 2018

The Oregon ethics rules on confidentiality prevent attorneys from talking about specific cases, but I can tell you that our office routinely handles second-parent adoptions and has experience in these matters. Sometimes, when people try to do their own legal work to save money, it actually ends up making things more difficult and costly to process. We are mindful of the costs involved and try to work with clients to keep their costs down and provide sound advice as new information arises in the course of representation. The legal process is complex and sometimes even routine matters take longer than expected.

Extremely responsive and Knowledgeable

Erin Duncan is great lawyer! A true professional, attentive, caring, concerned, and articulate. I was out of the country when she started handling my case but Ms. Duncan has been there, supporting and clarifying, always just a phone call/email away. She is extremely knowledgeable and is very helpful... in giving legal advice. I highly recommend this lawyer!
