Attorney Information
Overview
It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the death of RPWB member attorney, D. Charles “Chuck” Dukes.
Chuck died on July 29, 2025, one day before his 46th birthday. He is survived by his wife Jenn and two daughters, Eva and Arabelle.
A native of North Carolina, Chuck obtained his B.S. in Business Administration from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. After beginning his career in real estate development, Chuck moved from Texas to Charleston to attend the Charleston School of Law. He began clerking for RPWB while he was in law school and upon graduation was hired full-time in 2013 as an associate attorney. In 2023, he became a partner in the firm.
Chuck was a member of our firm’s consumer class action team, where he represented individuals seeking justice in state and federal courts throughout the country as well as whistleblowers who exposed fraud perpetrated against the U.S. government.
He was a tireless advocate for his clients and took great pride in helping the families of clients who were seriously injured or killed. In one such case, he secured $5.4 million for the grieving widow of a young man killed by a drunk driver in downtown Charleston.
Chuck was known around the office for his warmth, humor and compassion.
