This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

COMPLEX RESIDENTIAL NON-DISCLOSURE CASE

When I found myself in the middle of a pretty significant and complex residential non-disclosure situation a coworker referred me to Duncan Griffiths. He was honest and gave me helpful advice before agreeing to take me on as a client. He is extremely kind, down-to earth, and highly knowledgeable. He ...reminds of the kooky character that Hugh Laurie plays in House. He was candid about all the important points but also gave me the impression that when he set his mind to something he would see it through. I cannot recommend him enough.

A Lawyer's Lawyer

I needed help with a divorce. Duncan Griffiths came very highly recommended by another excellent attorney who is now retired from family law practice. Given that I am a former litigator I know, and value the importance of top notch representation. Duncan, and his associate Cheyenne Somers, were perfe...ct for what I needed. In my legal career I interacted with thousands of attorneys, and tried cases against the best legal teams that money could buy. I have high standards and I can tell the best possible legal work from that of lesser quality. Duncan and Cheyenne provided truly excellent representation and, I might add, at a fair cost with zero wasted time or money on legal fees.

Avvo Rating

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.
