Duncan Jason Gordon Millar's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. I've know Duncan for over 20 years. We attended the same law school and worked together as partners in the same firm for about 10 of those years. He is a brilliant, creative and diligent attorney who never ceased to amaze me with some of the angles he brought to bear on many of the cases we worked together. His attention to detail is outstanding (perhaps this is born out of his world class snare drumming skills - it's true, look it up) and the friendly and personable manner in which he engages with his clients serves as a great example to his staff and colleagues. He's pretty funny too."
"Duncan is an expert in the area of U.S. immigration law. He diligently advocates for the interests of his clients and is highly experienced with a wide variety of U.S. work visas, family sponsorship applications, and inadmissibility issues."
"I endorse this lawyer. He provides thorough and thoughtful answers on Avvo."
"I have known Mr. Duncan Millar for over 20 years and can attest to his honesty, integrity, exemplary work ethic and sincere committment to his clients' causes. He will go the extra mile to resolve your legal issues. This lawyer's work has my unqualified endorsement."
"I endorse this lawyer."
