Talented, honest lawyers who genuinely care about their clients. I can't say enough about this team and how much help and support they have provided my family navigating an extremely difficult case. Thank you Kara and everyone at Duncan Allen.

Terrible lawyer who has no genuine care for her clients just about lining her pockets. She encourages her clients to spend thousands of dollars in sending pointless emails to opposing council that ultimately result in nothing but wasted money for her client. She plays dirty, is willing to cross the moral and ethical standard most lawyers abide by. Will willingly aid her client in alienating their ex spouse from the children. Even when hard evidence is shown to her she still advises her clients to carry on. Issues that could of been easily solved that could of spared the children from a ton of trauma she drags on and on just to get more money for herself. One year later and a good 80,000 spent by her client to have her agree in mediation to amounts of money less then what was offered to her client a year ago. Not to mention she showed up to a formal mediation completely unprepared. What a con artist. There are good, morally ethical lawyers out there but this definitely not one of them.

Admidst the other comments my time was very frustrating. I had avery complicated case and Laura only seemed to care about settling. frustrating firm , if you need very nice lawyers that want to settle so it costs you more go here.

I had the pleasure of working with divorce lawyer Gabrielle as well as legal assistant Kumiko during my separation and divorce process, and they could not have made it a smoother transition. I would highly recommend Duncan Allen Law to help you through any Family Law matters!

I have worked with Laura for a number of years, and she has consistently gone above and beyond for her clients. Her assistance allowed for my success in two legal matters, and I highly recommend the services of Duncan Allen Law.

Dave Duncan

amazing lawyers.

Maryann Bolen

Smart, helpful, worthwhile.

Lee Dunn

Duncan Allan law took complete advantage of me, they consistently sent me redundant emails to run up my clock. My lawyer wouldn’t even meet me in person to sign the separation agreement, do not seek assistance from this firm if you value your family. They are apathetic to an extreme. Professional con artists

Christopher Rivers

Exceptional counsel. Prepared, organized, professional and tenacious. They are a credit to the practice of law in Nanaimo.

Andrea Keller

Extremely professional . They went above and beyond to help me with my situation. End result was more than I had expected. Extremely happy with their services and highly recommend them.

Katrina Kyle

I was extremely lucky to end up having Joey as my lawyer and Kathryn as her partner working on my case. I was in a very difficult situation and had multiple questions all the time. These two were always available when I needed them and we're never impatient with me during very hard times which is extraordinarily hard to find in any type of buisness. Their patience and professionalism is unparalleled as well as the results we were able to obtain and the entire process. I couldn't reccomend anyone else better ❤

In a world where there is always a concern about who to trust, I am very thankful for having found a law firm and a lawyer I know is not only looking out for my best interest, but is honest, professional and so easy to talk to. Laura Allen walked me through every detail of my situation and I felt so relieved to leave the office knowing she would take represent me and take care of my matters. I highly recommend this law firm!!

I had the pleasure of having Gabrielle and Kumiko work for me. They were extremely professional knew exactly what to do and when, and made me feel like I was in the very best of hands.......Because of them these legal proceedings were virtually stress free. Would highly recommend them and this office for all your legal needs. Thank you for all you have done.

Sarah Potter

Joey was so professional and she took the time to go through everything with us in a way we could understand. She was very prompt and made sure to answer all of our questions. I would highly recommend Duncan Allen Law to anyone seeking legal advice.

Brooke Porter

Without Predijuce The worst experience of all time, It cost me $6,500.00 for absolutley nothing. I'm further behind now than when I retained this firm. Being taken on by one Lawyer and then passed onto another, having to go over all my documents again, should have been my first clue. Not listening to my serious concerns at all, in fact terminating me as a client once I went against her ridiculous advice. If you need good legal service steer clear or recommend this firm to your ex.... you will be thrilled.

I self-represented myself in my divorce trial and I am very happy with the orders that were pronounced. I used Laura’s unbundled package for this trial. She was so amazing, she kept politely guiding me to stay focused on the issues and the evidence, hence making the best of my visits to her. She very honestly told me what I could do myself, knowing my abilities, and what I should let her do, to make the best use of my money. I learnt to trust her fully as she truly was working in the best interest for me. It is amazing how organised she is, all the documents I had provided her were on her laptop and she would open them in a second while she talked to me. She advised me to be so familiar with my documents for the trial and to know where they would be in the binder. Laura gave me her personal cell phone for any quick queries during the trial. She also got all the other lawyers in her firm familiar with my case, in case when I called in for help, she was not available but then I will still be able to get help from her teammates. She prepared my trial brief, the opening statement, the closing statement, my book of binders and guided me on the trial process. During the trial, the judge wanted some case laws for another way he was thinking of going. When I told him, I have a lawyer helping me, he gave me 15 min break to get the case laws. I called Laura and she asked me how I would want them, I asked her to email them to me. Within 5 min I got 4 cases emailed to me from Kara, another team member. I printed them at the courthouse library and went back in the court with them. The judge was impressed, he also commented on how good the closing statement was. Laura and her student, Sarah, had prepared it. With the amount of work, she had done, I was expecting a bigger bill. She is so reasonable in her billing. She works with a great team which incudes Alex, her assistant and her student, Sarah. She designated the work to them or me according to our abilities to make the best use of my money, as she knew money was a big concern for me. Her office assistant Lexy is so friendly and cooperative. What a wonderful team! I feel so blessed to have them help me ????

I really can't say enough good things about this firm and all of the staff that work there. They have been nothing short of amazing during the worst 18 months of our lives. We were dealing with a very volatile family court matter and needed the best. Joey Macey came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Joey and her assistant always went above and beyond to give us the best possible representation. She is kind and compassionate, extremely knowledgeable and we could not be happier with the outcome. I am so glad that we trusted her with our family's future. If you are looking for an excellent lawyer that is committed to helping her clients, Joey Macey should be your first call.

I first met Kara in 2012 where she became my lawyer. Right from the start she always made me feel like I was important and my case mattered to her. She has always been fair and honest. In court she was always very professional. Money became a issues and I couldn't afford a lawyer as I am not on legal aide. Not once has Kara said no she wouldn't help me out. There aren't too many people in this world who do what Kara and Laura do for people. It is inspiring to see the volunteer work they do to help those in need. I would highly recommend Kara and Laura to anyone who needs a lawyer.
