Attorney Dana W. Duncan is a native Wisconsinite, whose family has lived in the State since the 1840s. He comes from a family of hard-working people – his grandparents were dairy farmers and his parents were factory workers. He grew up understanding hard work and earning a paycheck. Attorney Duncan has experience and understanding of what clients are going through – his mother was a diabetic who went blind due to retinopathy in her 40s. He watched her cry over having to quit the job she loved. He also looked on as his father fought an insurance company over a back injury and then fought the Veteran’s Administration to give him his VA rating. Next, his father had to fight Social Security to give him disability benefits when his military injuries and age forced him to quit working later in life. These events profoundly changed him and changed his views about disability and workers’ compensation. He has built his career to assist those who need his aid. For these reasons, Duncan Disability Law S.C. was established. Originally from Beloit, Wisconsin, Dana has lived in the Wisconsin Rapids area since 1994 where he founded Duncan Disability Law S.C. He has represented thousands of disabled clients throughout Wisconsin and Minnesota in Social Security law and workers' compensation. When Dana is not working, you'll find him reading, watching the Brewers, or his beloved Packers (he’s a shareholder). As an amateur historian, Attorney Duncan loves books on history and biography and leads a civil war roundtable. Duncan has become a well-known Social Security and workers' compensation attorney. In 2011, and more recently in 2016, he was a speaker at the National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives (NOSSCR) convention, and also in 2017 at the National Association of Disability Representatives conference, speaking as an expert in his field. He continues to lecture on the law, recording webinars, and training tools for other attorneys and non-attorneys in the field. Call us to schedule an appointment with Dana W. Duncan.
