Highly Recommended

I retained Mr. Duke for a custody matter that had a lot of complexity and had a great experience all around. First, he was available and always made time to discuss, explain, and answer any questions I had. He didn't watch a clock and move on to the next case at the end of an hour, he made sure our m...eetings were thorough and I knew where we were at all times. Second, he was very knowledgeable and represented me well in the court room. He is a straight shooter, gets down to business, and gets it done. Third, price wise he was very fair and didn't nickel and dime me on every 2 minute discussion we had to have. In fact one of the things I enjoyed most was that we spoke financials as needed, but I didn't feel as though everything revolved around when I was dropping off another check. Overall, it was a great experience and I highly recommend retaining him of you need counsel. He will guide you through your processes and be realistic and up front about challenges, what to expect, and likely potential outcomes.

Highly recommend

Mr. Duke was very responsive throughout our case. He was always prepared and informative. He was even well prepared of what I needed for the best outcome of my case. He is very respectful not only in person but when our case was in front of the judge. I was very pleased on how he handled everything.... I highly recommend Mr Duke. I always will consult him going forward if his type of services are ever needed. I suggest you do the same. Mr. Duke changed my family’s life and we will forever be grateful!

Great Attorney

Mr. Duke may present as very quiet and meek, but he is listening to each and every word you are saying. He is professional, competent and compassionate. He went out of his way to accommodate my schedule as well as my children's. More than prepares for court.

Beyond a Lawyer

Mr. Duke - A lawyer beyond his work! Mr Duke has been representing (and by that I mean full heartedly by my side) for the past 5 yrs. I have been through several, unfortunate and ugly battles dealing with divorce and child custody concerns. (And they aren't over) Through each one, Mr. Duke was never ...short of amazing, compassionate, caring, thorough, determined, and all around excelled at fighting our side of the case! Regardless of my weak, scared moments - Mr Duke stood right there, kept my head where it needed to be, gave affirmation and made me a stronger person and mother over time! During trial, it wasn't just another case to him. I felt like Mr Duke was fighting for his own family! Not to mention he was always strong, knowledgabIe of every aspect, and was passionate in his work! He didn't just prove points, he believed in them! If I could truly express my gratitude, I would but there are not enough words!

Competent doesn't begin to describe Greg Duke

Mr. Duke is the most competent attorney around. He cares about his clients, and he will fight for you. I cannot put into words how grateful I am that Mr. Duke represented me. My ex is very good at intimidating and manipulating people. When I first met with Mr. Duke, I was at the end of my rope. I ...was used to no one believing me or wanting to help me. But he gave me a new perspective. He listened to me. He reviewed every piece of evidence I gave him. Whenever I asked, have you looked at the email from....? Not only had he read it, but he made himself know the evidence. And when we went to court, he faught for me. He didn't back down. He chose to stop once he felt like our position had been made. I can't say enough good about this man. The representation I received from Mr. Duke helped me get my life back. I have hope again. If you want competent, compassionate, and unwavering support, then Mr. Duke is your man.

"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.
