Helping you is our practice

I was referred to Marieann through a lawyer I knew overseas. I am so grateful for all the support Marieann gave me. She successfully defended family law proceedings.

Marieann helped me not just professionally, but also emotionally by encouraging me to stay focused on what mattered and not let my anxiety overwhelm me. By following this advice, I achieved a successful outcome. I would strongly recommend Marieann to anyone needing a family lawyer.

About 10 years ago when living in Surry Hills I needed a lawyer when I wanted to investigate buying a property and one of my friends recommended me the firm of M Duncan & Associates. Guy Duncan has acted for me in several different legal matters including buying property, will drafting and establishing a family trust. I find him friendly and he always explains the legal issues to me, so I am able to understand quite easily.

I first met Marieann Duncan more than 10 years ago, when she was assisting members of an unincorporated association in relation to a difficult internal dispute which had arisen.

I was impressed at the manner in which Marieann dealt with them respectfully and then took action to negotiate and resolve the dispute.  From that time, I have used the team at M Duncan & Associates for my own personal, business and family matters. I have recommended them to family and friends.

Marieann Duncan examined the ‘fine print’ in a contract matter, then resolved the dispute very promptly to my advantage saving me considerable worry and cost.  I found her pleasant to deal with, so when buying a home unit, it was an easy decision to ask M Duncan & Associates to assist me and my partner. On this occasion Guy Duncan acted for us and I found he was informative and made it easy to understand and deal with the transaction. 

I have been happy with all the help and straightforward, practical advice I received from the team at M Duncan & Associates from time to time and have confidently referred friends to them.

I have had the great pleasure of knowing Jareth Norman at M Duncan & Associates for several years. The employment contract advice he gave me was accurate and easy to understand. I would recommend M Duncan & Associates without hesitation to anyone looking for experts with an astute commercial mindset.

Rowan McLeod

I contacted Jareth Norman of M Duncan & Associates to explain some aspects of my employment contract. I read and understood his advice – it was thorough, answered all my questions, and gave me so much clarity on the more complicated parts of my contract.

I really appreciated his input and would recommend anyone presented with complex documents that might be a bit unclear, to contact Jareth for legal advice before they accept the document by signing it.
