Duke can identify issues well before the client even knows there’s a problem. But it’s his real-world experience and practical approach that gives him a unique perspective and insight into his clients’ issues and enables him to offer a blend of legal experience and practicality to complement his approach to family law.
Duke was born in Vietnam and raised in Oakland, CA. He graduated from California State University East Bay with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. He earned his Juris Doctor from Valparaiso University Law School.
Duke has made the journey from Law Clerk/Paralegal to Associate Attorney. Prior to his start at The Law Office of Arthur Lin, Duke spent three years soaking in whatever he could in family law as a paralegal at The Law Office of Robin Yemans. He has wide and extensive experience in all kinds of family law disputes. He is pragmatic, direct, and confident, navigating our clients through the complex maze of family law to straightforward results.
Duke’s devotion, commitment, and integrity are consistently demonstrated by his tireless efforts on behalf of the law firm where he devotes his time.
Famed in the office for his jokes and smile, he makes the workday more enjoyable.
