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 meetings 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.
Mr. Duke provided me with phenomenal service! I was in desperate need of legal representation for a child custody case and wanted to hire a lawyer that genuinely cared, understood the position I was in, and was willing to fight for me. Mr. Duke was just that person! I was amazed at how he immediately jumped on my case. Extremely professional, easy to get in contact with and everything was done in a timely manner. Mr. Duke provided me with sound advice and guidance. He made sure that he was fully aware of what I was seeking, that I was fully aware of my options, and the best way to proceed with my case. He made sure that I was apart of every decision made. He assured me that as my lawyer, he was there to protect me and the situation regarding my case. I felt as if I could have faced several giants in that courtroom with Mr. Duke by my side. Mr. Duke did his job extremely well and I don't think it could have been done any better. I was very pleased and would recommend his services to anyone.
Mr. Duke represented us for custody and child support. He always listens attentively and is compassionate through difficult discussions. He offers great advice and represented us well. Outcomes are phenomenal.
I really can not say enough good things about Mr. Duke. He represented me in a divorce and I came back to him for a second divorce and custody. In both cases, things were very uncertain at times and I felt nothing but support and genuine caring from him. He not only gave me support through a rough time in my life, but was always professional and had sound legal advice and guided me through the process. He never set a timer and thoroughly listened to my concerns. He was honest with me, even when it was something I didn't want to hear or maybe didn't benefit him, but was the best thing for my case. Even with how uncertain everything was from one day to the next, I found comfort knowing that Mr. Duke always had my best interests in mind and would take care of it to the best of his ability. He not only has my utmost respect, but is very well respected in the legal community because of his great knowledge of the law and professionalism. I will continue to recommend him to anyone in need of legal advice on family matters.
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!
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.
I was pleasantly surprised at how beautifully Mr. Duke handled my case. He was very approachable, warm, and caring. He was very prompt with communication and most importantly got good results with his hard work and diligence. As difficult a time this was for my children and me, he made us feel safe in his care. He made us feel as if we were family putting his all into our case. I would highly recommend this very trustworthy lawyer to take care of your situation with grace and dignity.
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!
We hired Gregory Duke because he was recommended by our previous attorney for child custody. Now came the time for full custody of my granddaughters. It was down to the wire but he went full force head on in a short time..He made us feel very safe and confident about our case and put in the work. He studied every area of evedince her could to make our case stronger and present in a tactdul manner. His opening argument was just that, he stood our ground on the behalf of our daughter that he was going to prove our case and that my daughter was a wonderful deserving mother .Our case never made it to trial because his opening defense was strong enough the judge made up his mind that he was ready to settle behind closed doors. We walked away from our case with exactly what we expected. He is the best attorney ever and such a caring compassionate affordable attorney that you can rest easy when you know he is representing you because he works hard and goes above and beyond all you could ever ask...Thanks my friend
