A new approach to your legal issues
Moving from anxiety and overwhelm to Calm Strength can help you resolve your issues easier, faster, and often with better outcomes.
Are you struggling with the stress and strain of a traumatic legal situation?
Moving from anxiety and overwhelm to Calm Strength can help you resolve your issues easier, faster, and often with better outcomes.
In my 28 years as a licensed attorney, I’ve seen cases suffer from debilitating emotions and an inability to deal with attorneys and the legal system. I’ve developed a process to “tune up” my clients, helping them become more calm, focused, and strong for their case.
Over time, I realized that everything was important when interviewing clients: their fears, frustrations, and the social, historical, and personal background of their drama. My clients needed to be fully heard and understood.
Incorporating meditation and emotional aspects into my work allowed me to help clients move forward effectively. This process not only makes clients feel heard and understood, but also moves cases toward resolution.

Sierra’s Story
“The work Duane did with me has changed my relationships with authority figures that used to intimidate me.”
Sierra was behind on IRS payments and feared an upcoming call with an IRS agent. Through a session with Duane, she meditated and saw the agent as a spiritual being in a difficult circumstance. She made the call, connected on a human level, and the agent wrote off her debt.
Years later, Sierra dealt with an insurance adjustor for an auto accident, seeking coverage for a new treatment. She befriended the agent, learned their daughter had a similar medical issue, and educated the agent about the procedure. The agent authorized coverage for Sierra and her daughter.
