William Marion Duncan

Attended law school at Georgetown University and tried two felony criminal trials as athird year law student.  At law school opening statements, cross examination etc were video taped and critiqued.  Upon obtaining my law degree, I was first admitted to practice law in 1981 in the Commonwealth of Virginia and two years later to the bar for the District of Columbia.  In 1989 I was admitted to practice law in California.  Am admitted to all state courts in California, as well as admitted to practice before the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Caliironia, Norther District of California, Central District of California, and Souther District of California as well as to the Circuit Courts of Appeal for the Ninth Circuit as well as the D.C. Circuit.  Also admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court.

I have litigated cases in state and federal courrts for over thirty years, having tried cases in Virginai, Florida, Texas, California, Washingto state, Missouri, Georgia, and Hawaii, much of which was while working for the U.S. Department of Justice until 1988.  

I have represented hundreds of criminal defendants on appeal only in Sacramento as well as in Los Angeles, and have represented hundreds of persons at the trial level charged with almost every conceivable crime.  This includes murder,  manslaugher, possession, transportation and sale of controlled substances, arson, spousal abuse, felons in possession of firearms, DUI's, assault, battery, and a host of other crimes.  .
