Impeccable Leadership for a Win-Win Solution

Duane L. Coker was a pleasure to work with over the course of 2012 and 2013. Mr. Coker commissioned his team to help me in the unfortunate matter of a divorce. I cannot imagine having to go through such an experience without the incredible support and advice he offered. He is very trustworthy, impre...ssibly responsive, extremely knowledgeable, and he kept me informed throughout the process. Through Duane's impeccable leadership, his firm managed my entire case with me being outside of the continental US, making the experience almost a breeze for me. What impressed me the most was his willingness to speak candidly with me and actively brainstorm win-win solutions. I would highly recommend Duane Coker for any of your family law needs. You will not be disappointed with the level and quality of service will receive.

Skillful Lawyer with a great team

I was looking for a lawyer for what I knew was going to be a very difficult divorce. Because I had no other personal referrals, I reviewed the Avvo recommendations and decided to meet with Duane for an initial consultation. During the proceedings, Duane was very professional. He never over stated wha...t the possible outcome could be, presented me with the different options and guided me towards to what I believe was the best possible outcome in a terrible situation. At no time I had to question if he acted in my best interest. Besides his own skill and his team, he impressed me with the other people he brought into the process to handle custody arrangements and mediation. I've already recommended Duane to friends and will continue to do so. Even though I hope I will not heve to work with him again, I know where I need to go if the need arises.

Very professional, aggressive, and attentive to your needs.

I have used Duane Coker for several legal issues over the past seven years. Each time he was always honest with his advice and very aggressive in pursuing my best interest in the situation. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
