Average Joe

Hi, I am going through a very long drawn out divorce and custody battle with my ex wife regarding our 7 year old daughter. I hired a local attorney to get thru this. All they did was take my money and continue the case for about 2 years. I was at my wits end and had no idea what to do. I done some ...research and talked to a few people and Greg Duke was recommended. I had a consultation with him and I knew from the way he talked he was the one so I scrapped together the money and hired him on the spot. Mr Duke done his research on my previous court cases and compiled all the information into several binders that looked to be a foot thick each. For the next 9 or 10 months , I felt like he went above and beyond with my case. He sent me endless texts and emails to keep me updated on what was going on even on Sundays. When it come court time he was as prepared as a boy scout. We still don't know the out come of the case because of all the information the judge had to go thru, but you can bet whatever it is Mr. Duke gave it his all and I am thoroughly satitisefied with the job he done. At all times he was professional and he knew the law sometimes I think better than the judge. I hope I never have to go to court ever again, but you can bet if I do I'm going looking for Greg Duke again as long as he'd represent me. He has even gone as far to touch base with me after the case and see how I'm doing. That in itself meant alot. Thank you Greg Duke, you are the man. Kevin Ricjs

Equitable Distribution

Mr. Duke is very professional. He guided us on ways to help the other side see that we were seeking a fair distribution. He also gave evidence to the other side to prove that their client was not truthful & were dishonest. He is reasonably priced & we would highly recommend him.

Honest and Compassionate

After battling a custody issue for almost 6 years, we hired Greg to represent us and it was the best decision we've ever made! Greg was quick to respond to emails/phone calls, he was organized, and had a game plan from the very beginning. Greg was transparent and truly cared about what we wanted in t...he custody agreement. He was upfront and realistic about what to expect and always made time to meet with us if we were unsure about anything. His focus was on our child, and that spoke volumes to us. Greg listened and was empathetic with our situation, which was evident in how he advocated for us in court. I would recommend Greg to anyone struggling with family court issues. I can't say enough positive things about him.

CARING, PROFESSIONAL & DILIGENT

If you want a caring, professional and diligent lawyer, Mr. Greg Duke is the lawyer you want. He is the only lawyer who could do what most others said they could not. This was a case involving children. He was very sensitive to that. The gratitude we feel towards this lawyer is immense. He spent... endless hours on this case. We will forever be in his debt!

Highly Recommend

Mr. Duke has been working with me for a few years. I am beyond grateful to have had him in my corner. It was a stressful time in my life and he remained calm, steady, patient and compassionate. The process at times felt confusing and overwhelming, he was reassuring, and provided the clarity I needed ...to get things moving forward. I am forever grateful. I hope not to need custody legal services again, but if I do, I will be calling Mr. Duke and find comfort in knowing he is there if I need him. He worked hard and I know he had mine and my kids best interest. Grateful.

"I have had the pleasure of being opposing counsel in numerous cases with Greg over the past 30 years. I have always found Greg to be a zealous advocate for his client's interests and tremendously prepared when he steps into a Courtroom for hearings. When I have had scheduling conflicts or conflicts of interest that prevent me from taking certain cases, I have no hesitation in referring those individuals to Greg for legal representation.
