Background
Duke has been intrigued with the field of law since he was 10 years old, and saw the movie Legally Blonde for the first time. He loved how the main character, played by Reese Witherspoon, was determined to make a name for herself despite everyone’s doubts. This sparked Duke’s interest and since then nothing has overtaken it. He has grown to love how we live in a rules-based society, where rules and procedures are ideally supposed to give everyone a fair chance.
Before Duke joined Warnken, LLC he worked in different fields, trying to figure out where his skills were best utilized. He was with a landscaping company, and a retail company, before he started working in the legal field doing intake. But now, his work day at Warnken, LLC consists of gathering medical records, drafting court documents for discovery and/or settlement and communicating with clients.
What makes Warnken, LLC different from Duke’s previous work experiences is how genuine the attorneys are. “They really care about their clients, they know that the clients are real people that have real issues, they’re not just a case to them.” Having compassion for the clients is one of Duke’s most important values.
Working At Warnken
The most enjoyable part of Duke’s day is learning the client’s story. He knows that clients are more than just their injury, they have families and stories to tell. As a part of building their case, he gets to learn who they are, to see the full picture and evaluate how best to help them.
What can sometimes frustrate Duke about the work of a personal injury paralegal are the medical records requests. Insurance companies make it very difficult to obtain the information needed, and poorly organize them, which can make Duke’s job a little more difficult.
When Duke isn’t at work he loves to hike in Loch Raven with his dog Chief. It’s a peaceful getaway, where he can just spend time in nature, and listen to a history podcast. He also loves to read Sci-fi books, build Legos, and when he gets the chance to go on vacation, his go to spot is Stone Harbor in New Jersey.
