Intelligent Compassionate Fighter for You
After going through 2 attorneys that created one heck of a mess for my divorce decree, Duana Boswell came in and worked hard to re-create a workable agreement that is better suited to my needs. She is knowledgeable in family law and experienced in difficult separations including those that involve child custody and/or domestic violence. I couldn’t ask for a better attorney. Boswell Law Firm took my anxiety away through the process and handled my case with integrity and intelligence. She communicated well and managed my expectations appropriately to avoid any surprises along the way. I definitely recommend Duana Boswell.

Great attorney, highly recommended!
Duana handled an important matter for me. Precision and tact were of utmost importance. I had entrusted my case to someone else before and was not satisfied with their performance. Duana’s charges were fair, she explained the process clearly and I was able to obtain a quick resolution of my personal matter. I can only recommend her to anyone facing a legal issue.

Excellent Lawyer
I hired Duana Loechel to prepare my will. She did an excellent job, and I would highly recommend her to others. Not many lawyers go the extra mile to obtain board certification, and it definitely shows since her knowledge was outstanding. I will be referring my parents to update their wills and a trust document. Thank you.

Smart and attentive at initial consult-good lawyer-bad firm
I wanted to hire Duana. She quoted me a fee of $3500 for my enforcement and modification of child support but when I returned to their office, Baily and Galyen to write the check they sent out the secretary to inform me that she had made an error and that they would in fact need $6000 to cover her services. I walked out.

Very unprofessional
Originally had a 15 minute consult scheduled. Was cancelled last minute because of court issues - totally understandable. Wasn’t given a reschedule date, but then two weeks later received a “reminder” text that I had a consult scheduled. No one had communicated this to me, but again, no biggie. Day of consult I wait until two minutes after the scheduled time and called their office. Told them I had a consult scheduled and wasn’t sure if I needed to call them or if they were calling me. The guy took my name and said he would find out and they’d call me. 30 minutes later I am still waiting for that call….not sure about you, but I won’t hire counsel who can’t even communicate something as simple as consultation scheduling. What happens when there is something crucial that needs to be done?

Ms
Duana has two cases of mine. She has done nothing in either case except get them closed. Her secretary slandered me to a friend, and I hv called trying to get answers. Phone calls are never returned.
Response from Duana Boswell-Loechel July 18, 2022
We obtained favorable final orders in both cases. We completed all work we agreed to perform. You requested additional work beyond our employment agreement. We terminated our relationship and refused to take on additional work because of your outlandish accusations. You were not slandered by anyone. Communications ceased only after termination of our representation occurred. I wish you well.
