Favourable Outcome

My experience as a client of Mr Mcconnell was one of huge relief at the outcome. The case had dragged on for a number of years due to court backlog and our need for time to build a strong case to argue for exceptional circumstances. Throughout the whole process Mr Mcconnell was reassuring but not overly, maintaining a balanced overview of the proceedings as they progressed. All the right decisions were made with regards to the final hearing and the Sheriff was persuaded to move to an alternative to conclude the case, to my great relief. Well done Douglas, i cannot express my gratitude enough to you for guiding me through what was a deeply difficult and destressing time in my life. I would without hesitation recommend you're services to anyone seeking legal representation.

Outstanding team!

The moment I began to speak to Miss Samson, I knew I had made the right choice.
Kym took on a very complex and highly sensitive case, miss Samson not only listened but she believed in me and in turn we
formed trust.
Kym was very responsive outwith our planned meetings, giving up her time to guide me through the hardest time of my life.
Miss Samson is nothing less than an outstanding solicitor. Her sheer tenacity and presence in the court room was incredible, taking the lead to defend my position and resulting in a successful outcome for me and my children.
I am over the moon with our result.
I owe Kym and her team a life time of gratitude.

I highly recommend Duncan and McConnell Solicitors.

I recently had a court case regarding very serious allegations which had been on-going for over 18 months. I was represented by David Duncan, who was understanding and professional throughout this delicate matter. Extremely pleased with the outcome, all due to David's experience and knowledge.

Excellent Service

Duncan & McConnell are an excellent solicitors office. I received a very warm welcome under difficult circumstances. Their approach is highly professional, principled and cerebral. Douglas and David provided help and advice during every stage of the process and were always willing to reply to questions. The issues were sorted out in the best possible way, to the benefit of all parties, and much quicker than expected. I would definitely recommend this law firm to others.
