Gregory Gilchrist Memorial

Gregory Gilchrist worked at Durfee Law Group from September of 2021 until his unexpected passing in July of 2022. He graduated from the University of Wyoming in May of 2012 with a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice and Sociology before receiving a full ride scholarship to the University of San Francisco School of Law and completing his Doctor of Law – JD in May of 2016.

At Durfee Law Group, we are always seeking to inspire ourselves and everyone we come in contact with to “Live well, Leave a Legacy”. Greg did exactly that. Was he perfect in every way shape and form? No – nobody is. The point of living well and leaving a legacy is not to be flawless, but rather what you make of life in spite of the flaws. Greg made an effort every day to do the best with what life gave him, and not a day passes where we do not honor and miss this intelligent, funny, and hard working friend whose life touched all of ours.

While we know that not everyone that has or will come in contact with our firm will have known or met Greg personally, we believe everyone can be blessed by seeing a glimpse of who this man truly was by sharing some of the words by which he was inspired and lived by:

“Have More Than You Show; Say Less Than You Know”
– William Shakespeare (King Lear)

“Perpetual learning and personal growth are among the values I hold in high regard. ‘Stimulation over stagnation’ is how we accomplish the things most important to us in life. Beyond just the acquisition of technical knowledge, the ability to sharpen our emotional intelligence is crucial. ‘Reading a room’ and navigating the variables is what creates relationships of substance, personally and professionally.”
– Gregory Gilchrist

“The law has its hand in every component of a functional society; its value contributes to every aspect of daily life. My goal is to make valuable contributions of my own, leaving things in better condition than how I found them.”
– Gregory Gilchrist
