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.

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.

Custody && Divorce

I couldn't have asked for a better attorney! I had previously hired an attorney that just wasn't keeping in contact or doing much for me at all, except disappointing me and making me feel as though me or my kids did not matter. I did my research and he was also recommended to me. He's so patient and ...understanding. When he spoke with me he didn't make me feel rushed or like I was just another file in his cabinet. He actually cared and took the time to listen! And that meant a lot. It's rare to find a genuine attorney that both cares and does a really awesome job and keeps in contact with you and makes you feel like you and your kids matter. Custody has been the absolute worst thing I have ever had to endure in life but thankful for him, we were able to get 50/50 custody and my divorce expedited and over with. I absolutely, 100%, recommend Mr. Duke. If I ever need him again, which I hope I don't, there is absolutely no doubt he will be the first person to come to mind! You will not be disappointed!

Custody & Divorce (w/ Domestic Violence attributes)

As I was working through the trenches of a state felony domestic violence trial, I met Mr. Duke through the local DA. She recommended him for representation due to the complexity of my personal situation. He has been amazing through the process (even with COVID making it drag longer than necessary). ...He is very good at what he does. He asked me what I wanted along the way even if I wasn't sure what I wanted. His representation in court made me feel calm and like I was allowed to be human. Absolutely recommend for any situation like mine.

The attorney you need

Divorce is a stressful part of one's life. It drags on for months. A good attorney can make it easy for you. I was fortunate that I came in contact with Mr. Duke. This was after researching other attorneys in the area and firing one. Several things stand out about him. One is ease of contact. He repl...ies promptly to your queries. Unlike others where you have to go through third parties to reach the attorney and then wait for hours or may even a day or two before getting any response. Some concerns may be urgent for the clients. He is very polite and listens to you patiently. He will find time to meet you/talk to you after hours or on the weekend. Not a lot of people do that. Also, you don't feel like that he is striping you off of every nickel and dime. You get the feeling that he is genuinely trying to help you at a personal level. And it's all about that. The trust and the connection that I have developed with him is helping me tremendously. My case is still ongoing, and the opposing party has made it difficult in a lot of aspects. But Mr. Duke has done his best to help me so far. Highly recommended!

"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.
