Custody and Relocation

Peg Simok is the attorney you want on your side. Over the past 2 years (on several different custody matters, including relocation), Peg proved to be compassionate, knowledgeable, ethical, steadfast, and confident. She was never afraid to tackle the task at hand (our case went to Pennsylvania's Su...perior Court), and she spoke frankly with me about outcome expectations. She is honest and trustworthy, and she gets the job done (and well!) I am so fortunate to have found her. She does a WONDERFUL job, and I would HIGHLY recommend her.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
