Excellent attorney

I lost a tooth while biting down on a pebble in black beans at a Mexican restaurant. When their insurance carrier denied my claim I was very upset. I had to go through almost three years of dentistry as I needed bone grafts, the first attempt at an implant post failed, and it was not fun at all. I... did not think I would find an attorney to take my case but David did. He believed in me and guided me to an out of court settlement that I was very happy with. I highly recommend David. He will fight for you!

Extremely happy with outcome

While waiting in traffic at the San Mateo Bridge I was rear ended at a high rate of speed. My car was totaled, the accident exacerbated an existing back condition that I already had. I missed a good amount of work and needed a lot of medical attention, that eventually resulted in needing a nerve abla...tion (termination). I knew I was going to need an attorney, and I had a lot of choices. The big firms that advertise on TV, the ones I see advertised on billboards on the freeway? I decided I wanted to be represented by a local firm that would give me personalized attention and would know who i was every time I contacted them. So I chose Duncan Law firm. I was instantly comfortable with David and always felt like I was in good hands. He took care of everything, he dealt with the other drivers insurance company so I never had to, he dealt with the very unresponsive staff at my companies HR department to get info about the wages and benefits I missed while out. I always felt that my case was of the utmost importance to him. I ended up being awarded the full term of the other drivers insurance policy, with no fight. All the money with no fight . It was definitely a win-win for me. I may need to have additional nerve ablations in the future, because the nerve endings eventually grow back, but now I have the money to offset the medical costs and to pay for my pain and suffering. I would strongly suggest that if you are in the need for a personal injury attorney that you choose David Duncan and Duncan Law Firm.

T-boned by a U-Haul Truck

Reaching out to David was the best decision I made following my car accident. He handled everything very professionally and made the entire process very easy for me. He replied to any questions or concerns I had very quickly and did a great job reaching out and communicating to me how the process was... going. I would definitely hire David again if in need of a personal injury attorney. Thank you once again for all your help!

Rear ended by Big Rig

My wife's car was rear ended by a big rig in Pleasanton/Dublin area. The impact was so great that her car hit 2 other cars. We got the services of Mr.Duncan, and from day one handled EVERYTHING very professionally. Mr. Duncan always had all the answers to ournquestions and was very respectful and car...ing throughout. It gave us time to concentrate on healing. More importantly, he is a compassionate, honest human being, which is essential when it feels as though your life is falling apart. I highly recommend him and his firm. My case turned out far better than I had hoped for. If you need an attorney Duncan Law Firm is the answer.

Courteous and responsible service with great results

David has been a great council in a personal injury case. Unlike many other lawyers whose contact details i found via web searches and have contacted, he did not stray away from a 'small' case, and has been courteous and very helpful from beginning to the very end. He did all the leg work in obtainin...g the police report of the incident and the treatment related medical records, and direct liaised with the insurance firm of the at fault party. David was easy to talk to and get in touch with, and i am very satisfied with the outcome of the case that he has helped to move forward.
