Best lawyer ever

I have known Duke George for 40 years. I, myself, have used his services as well as my family members. He is expensive but he gets the job done. He told me once he can't retire because everyone will be in jail. This man tells you the way it is but he fought like hell for my family. It will trul...y be a sad day if and when he retires.

Well, I hired Duke 3 times. Was expensive all 3 times. Would have been a lot more expensive and time in jail without him. In the end he’s greatest lawyer you will ever get. The thing you have to remember is what you did was illegal. Instead of looking for a better lawyer which there is none ma...ybe it’s cheaper and easier to just not break the law. No doubt when Duke retires I’ll be a law abiding citizen. Won’t risk it without him in my corner. Period.

He is well regarded by the Judges and DA for a reason!!!

I paid him $25,000 to represent me. Not once did he ever talk to the DA about making a deal!!! He also kept telling me not to show up for the court dates, I found out after that he was waiving my right to a fair but speedy trial!!! I never once gave him permission to waive my right to a fair but spee...dy trial!!! When my case finally want to trial he had me change my plea halfway through!!! Even though the 2 main witnesses who were in the same car told 2 completely different stories!!!! One of the witnesses was a pastor and the other witness was a teacher!!! And yet they had 2 different stories as to what happened!!! Why if the main witnesses have 2 different stories would you advise me to change my plea??? He did not hire anybody to do any kind of background checks on them nor did he hire any doctors or P.I.’s to do something for me!!! He just took my money and did nothing!!! The reason he is so highly regard is because he gets you in prison and doesn’t give two pennies worth about you!!! Never in a million years should you hire this bum!!! He will rip you off

Not worth 1 penny

He is probably the most overpriced and over rated attorney on the planet. Never ever hire this monster for even the smallest of crimes
