Leah N. Duncan brings a practical, solutions-oriented approach to real estate law that reflects both her legal training and more than a decade of hands-on experience in the housing industry. Licensed to practice law in Texas since 2021, Ms. Duncan developed a strong professional foundation prior to entering the legal field—experience that continues to influence her approach to advising clients involved in housing and real estate matters across the state.

Before becoming an attorney, Ms. Duncan spent more than seven years working in multifamily property management in North Texas, serving as a leasing manager. In that role, she worked directly with residents, administered and enforced lease agreements, and collaborated with ownership and management teams to meet operational and compliance objectives. This hands-on experience provided her with firsthand insight into the day-to-day realities of housing operations, as well as the ways in which regulatory requirements, lease structures, and policy decisions affect both residents and property stakeholders.

After earning her Juris Doctor from UNT Dallas College of Law, Ms. Duncan began her legal career in bankruptcy law. She represented Chapter 7 trustees and creditors, assisting with the administration and liquidation of bankruptcy estates, including matters involving real property assets. Her work addressed title issues, lien priorities, and property dispositions—legal matters that commonly arise in distressed properties and housing redevelopment efforts.
