I did not know where to turn when my husband told me that he wanted a divorce. I asked friend, searched the internet, and interviewed some divorce lawyers on the phone. Ultimately, I decided to hire Ken Peck as my divorce lawyer. And, I am very glad that I did.
Ken knows the law. He helped steer me through some sticky legal and practical child custody problems when he helped me negotiate my divorce settlement, as well as getting me a very good financial outcome.
From the first call through the conclusion of my case, he demonstrated that he really cared about me and what happened with my son and daughter. Knowing that he went through a challenging divorce gave me confidence when he assured me that better days were ahead for my children and me. And, he was right! Our lives aren't perfect, but my children and I now have a better future because I hired Ken Peck as my family law attorney.
Thorough, effective and persistent representation. Passionate about his work. In my over 24 years working as a court reporter with thousands of attorneys, Ken Peck rates as one of the best attorneys I've had the privilege to work with!!

Exceptionally caring, knowledgeable, and caring attorney!
When I emailed Ken about my and my husband's custody concerns, I was not sure what to expect. I emailed him on a Saturday hoping to hear something back via email by the following Monday at best. I was amazed to receive a phone call that same Saturday. Ken asked me to explain my concerns further as he listened attentively. He then explained my options and while expressing genuine concern and conviction to fight for what is best for a child. Ken Peck is definitely who you want on your side when you truly need an advocate.

Thank you for your knowledge and passion. It is lawyers like Mr. Peck that will help institute needed change. I am forever grateful.

A Great Charleston Child Custody Attorney
Ken Peck saved me and my children. I was at the end of my rope when I came to his office. My husband was cheating on me and threatening to take my children away from me. Ken listened carefully as I told him my long story. He was always there for me and my children as we fought through a bitter divorce, When it was done, Ken had helped me move from the darkest hour to a place where my children and I have a bright hope for the future. If you find yourself in a similar situation, you owe it to your children and yourself to give Ken a call. I know that he can help you.

An excellent negotiator!
Mr. Peck did a great job in my child custody case. Through his skillful negotiation of our divorce settlement, he was able to persuade my former husband to pay most of my legal fees without going to court.

Superb Charleston Divorce Lawyer
I enthusiastically recommend Ken Peck as a Charleston divorce lawyer. In my case, Ken structured a settlement agreement that was very favorable to me on all of the major financial issues, including alimony and the division of marital assets. He knows how to protect high value assets in a complex divorce. Hire him. You will be glad that you did.

Excellent - THE one you need working for you
Hiring Ken to represent me was the best thing I could have done when I found myself in a place I never expected to be. He listened, he questioned, and he learned about my particular situation until both of us were confident he understood my unique circumstances. He earned my trust, he advocated for me. As the years have passed I have come to realize how fortunate I was to have Ken as my attorney.

Outstanding divorce lawyer!
During the course of my divorce, Mr. Peck made me feel like I was more than just a client. He represented me with the perfect mix of empathy, knowledge, and toughness (when needed). When I checked around, I found that his rates are very reasonable for the Charleston area.

Ken is a determined advocate for his clients.
In a sticky divorce, Ken represented me with determined advocacy. I know it when I see someone who is working on my behalf, especially in an attorney because I am one. Having myself represented hundreds of people in domestic relations matters, I knew what I faced when my personal divorce was filed. I chose Ken because I was aware of his experience and work ethic. He was in high demand in Colorado, but he kept me informed when necessary when things heated up with my former wife, but handled the little stuff without wasting my time. He did not disappoint. Use him.

Excellent Divorse Attorney
Mr. Peck is very reliable in representing the clients interest. He attempts to settle matters with the least stress and legal expense possible, however if that fails, he effectively represents the clients interests in court. His years of experience show in how he handles himself. I would highly recommend him.

Had to hire a new lawyer.
Mr. Ken Peck was my divorce lawyer for a year and he was an enormous failure. He did not solve my case, he wasted my time, was very expensive, and I had to find another lawyer. He was extremely hard to reach, it normally took 2-4 weeks of bothering his paralegal before I could schedule a call with him. He’d spend half the call (at $400 an hour) talking about military history or whatever was on his mind. When the opposing party came up with a bogus claim about a conflict of interest, Mr. Peck immediately dropped my case and did not defend me. Absolute waste of my time and money. I found a new lawyer who actually finished the job and defended me.

Lots of talk, but very little knowledge
At the initial consultation, this guy went on and on talking about himself and his own divorce, and it seems he did that because he doesn't know very much about South Carolina law. I later found out that he is from Colorado, and most of his time practicing law has been there - and he didn't even practice family law! The bottom line is, he doesn't know what he is doing and I would not recommend him to anyone!

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Ken for several years know. He is intelligent and experienced, and gets the job done for his clients. He will be there for you."
Family Attorney | Jul 15
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Peck is a well-respected and highly experienced family law attorney. He is not only an excellent attorney, but he truly cares about his clients and cares about providing them with competent and ethical representation. Any person facing divorce, separation, custody or child-related issues would be well served to contact Mr. Peck to see how his firm could potentially help them."
Family Attorney | Jun 16
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I endorse this lawyer. Ken Peck is a caring and attentive lawyer who puts his clients' needs first. He is a very experienced attorney who is well respected in the legal community. Any client would be lucky to have Ken Peck represent them in a divorce, separation, and/or child custody matter."
Family Attorney | Sep 30
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"My contact with Ken has been impressive. He is extremely well credentialed, not an easy thing to come by in the legal world. He is an easy going yet high energy lawyer who I believe does an outstanding job obtaining the best results for his clients through extensive preparation. He is detail oriented and works with his clients to achieve their objectives. Any client would be smart to retain someone of his caliber."
Family Attorney | Sep 24
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"Ken is a very thoughtful, thorough, and diligent attorney. I do not hesitate to endorse him due to his experience in both family law and litigation, combined with his intelligence and and warm personality. Ken is very skilled and works hard to represent his client's best interests."
"As you may have guessed by the fact that I have the same last name as this lawyer, we are related. But while he is my dad, I offer this endorsement as his former client, and subsequently, his co-counsel on a number of high conflict family law cases. In a world where attorneys engage in fist-pumping spats before judges, Ken wins time and again through a simple formula. With his clients actively engaged in pre-trial strategy, he chooses substantive preparation and meaningful negotiation over filing costly motions or lobbing ineffective bombs at the other party. If you're looking for a sassy, big firm lawyer, he's not your guy. But if still you want someone with big firm credentials and an impressive track record without all the drama, I can offer up no better candidate than this shockingly tenacious warrior to lead the legal team for what could be the most important case of your life."
