When you need to go to battle....

...Attorney Peck is the only one I would ever consider. Mike has represented me for many years. Preparation for Court is a process not to be taken lightly and Mike prepares like no other. He knows the CT Practice Book and uses it strategically to win! When in battle, you want Attorney Mike Peck. ...Period.

A superb and honorable gentleman of the law

I have know Michael Peck for more than a dozen years. Over the years my family and I have consulted with him. He is very personal, professional, and a superb listener. He will ask you questions, pause and evaluate what you said to him and then he will review your statements before offering an opi...nion. In working with him I was impressed with his unorthodox ideas. He exemplifies for me what I believe in. The rule of law and fairness. I believe he is a veteran and what that means to me is he took an oath for our country and was willing to fight for all of us. And to that end he will always be my recommendation to anyone with legal concerns.

Simply Excellent!

When I consulted Mr. Peck I was totally unaware of the situation I was going through and he was simply amazing. He was patient, reunited all the pertinent information and went beyond my expectations. He oriented me in all minimum details. I super recommend him.

Honest and Fierce

He is the type of lawyer that will tell you honestly what are you up against and will fiercely defend your rights. We could have not chosen a better attorney. Our case was solved and justice prevailed. We cannot be thankful enough.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2013.

Conditions issued in CT, 2013

updated on 09/19/2014

A condition is a disciplinary order from the Statewide Grievance Committee that an attorney fulfill a condition within a certain time frame. If the attorney does not fulfill a condition in a timely manner, the Superior Court may also impose any condition necessary to protect the public.

Reprimand issued in CT, 1987

updated on 11/02/2013

A reprimand is an order from the Statewide Grievance Committee after it has found that an attorney has engaged in ethical misconduct. If an attorney receives more than 3 reprimands in 5 years, a presentment must be filed against the attorney so the Superior Court can decide if more serious discipline should be ordered.

Michael’s comment:

“My clients who were a young couple and first time home buyers were too aggressively represented as stated by our Statewide Grievance Authority (SWG). The sellers wouldn't give us the contractual required satisfactory septic system report. I threatened suit. We got the report! The non-client sellers were quite peeved and grieved me after the closing. SWG agreed with them. I am still upset 26 years later. ps. My clients still don't know about this from me. mrp”
