He has handled a few different things for me and I am very pleased. Only attorney I will use for my families planning.
Steve Durance represented me in a contentious divorce. Hundreds of hours and three years now. He never overcharged me either. Just the opposite. Steve is the most honest and decent attorney you can find in Midland. Sometimes too honest. He is not willing to cut corners. And he is worth double of what he charged me. I got to him because my previous attorney was not willing or even able to handle all the trouble my ex created. Steve cut through all the malarkey he made things look simple and he turned a 5,000 page court file into a beautiful 15-page closing brief outshining the 75 pages the opposing attorney dared to file after ten days of trial. The opposing attorney found it important enough to file a 37 page answer to the 15 page brief. Steve's son Peter now works in the firm too, and he's lucky to have a role model like Steve. If Peter represents you - you can count yourself lucky. Miranda, THE legal assistant with a secret JD is great handling everything too. When it comes to divorce attorneys, there is simply none better to be found in Midland Michigan.
Just wanted to update my very happy experience dealing with Mr. Peter Durance.. Very knowledgeable attorney.. and definitely would recommend to anyone..
I want to like him very much. I thought Steve was great during my divorce, but sadly he was not so attentive to the details. Super easy divorce that cost the full fee, plus cost me extra in vehicle taxes and investment account expenses due to lack of specificity in the filing paperwork, even though all info was provided multiple times. Also tried to contact him for follow up questions with no success.
Stephen Durance did at best a marginal job on my mother's will for an exorbitant fee. And his receptionist made me wait ten minutes -- and I mean 600 honest-to-the-gods-above seconds -- to get a copy of it. I will never do business with these people again.
