Duke Lineberry never planned on practicing Family Law. A native of Charlotte, he interned at the United States Attorney's office in Raleigh and hoped to become an Assistant United States Attorney.

Instead, after working on an admiralty case and impressing a well-known attorney from Wilmington, he moved there, practiced in the attorney's firm for a number of years before striking out on his own and now has over thirty-nine years under his belt in the often stressful, but ultimately rewarding practice of family law.

Navigating Family Law - that is what a new client does every time he or she enters Duke's law offices. Becoming a client in this area of the law can be scary, uncertain, stressful and sometimes costly. And to make it tougher, either you or your opponent, and sometimes both of you, are not always at your best.

This podcast takes you inside the family law practice world, according to Duke Lineberry. Like another podcast of a family law practitioner, he believes that most people who come to see him want hope. That is what he tries to get for everyone. It does not always come easy, but in the end, he offers you the chance to start all over again.

This is an area of the law that requires grit that hopefully becomes resilience. Achieving that for his clients is his reward and what makes it all worthwhile.
