Posted by Mason | December 30, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

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 pra...ctice family law! The bottom line is, he doesn't know what he is doing and I would not recommend him to anyone!

A Very Caring and Thoughtful Divorce Lawyer

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 ste...er 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.

Top Notch!

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!! Doug L Spectrum Reporting Services

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.

"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 lawyer | Jul 14

Relationship: Co-worker

"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."
