In September 2025, I experienced an unexpected job loss at a Federal government agency that forced me into an early, unplanned retirement. My income decreased by $99,600 in less than a year that made it challenging for me to continue to pay my car note, that was over $1,000 each month, and other bills. I decided that filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case with North Carolina's bankruptcy court was the most viable option to address my significant debts.
In April 2026, I conducted free consultations with several attorneys. I consulted with Anne Salter, an attorney with Duncan Law in North Carolina, and was impressed by her expert legal knowledge, sound legal recommendations, pleasant personality, and explanation of the bankruptcy process in layman's terms. I knew immediately after my consultation with Anne Salter that Duncan Law was the best law firm for me.
After retaining Duncan Law's services in May 2026, I consulted with Damon Duncan, an attorney and owner of the law firm. His expert legal knowledge, great personality, and confidence in his firm's ability to resolve my financial situation was reassuring and relieved my high stress level.
Additionally, Emily Hutcherson, Paralegal, did an outstanding job serving as an intermediary between me and the attorneys to expedite responses to my questions, reviewing and editing the bankruptcy petition for accuracy, and ensuring that all required supplemental documents were submitted to the bankruptcy court in an accurate and timely manner.
Ashland Sutton, Legal Assistant, did an excellent job serving as the first point of contact to initiate the bankruptcy process and representing Duncan Law in a pleasant and professional manner.
Duncan Law provided video presentations, narrated by Damon Duncan, at each step of the bankruptcy filing process that made the process clear and facilitated completion of each step so that the attorneys could file the petition with the court quickly and accurately.
In summary, I rate Duncan Law a 5 out of 5. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to other individuals and would use their expert legal services again without hesitation. read more
