Carol Lee Peake's Lawyer Endorsements
"I represented my brother in a highly emotional case (death/custody) and Carol Lee Peake was the opposing attorney. While representing her client to the fullest extent, she was also compassionate about the situation. With great confident I would easily refer a client to her."
"Over the past decade, I have worked cases with and against Carol in the Dependency courtroom and know her to be an honest, hard-working and effective advocate. I wholeheartedly recommend Carol for contested family law type cases, especially when children's interests are considered."
"I have known Carol for several years and she is ethical, compassionate and prepared in all her cases. She and I have been opposing counsel on multiple child abuse cases and I have always found her to be willing to listen and reason to find a solution for the families we have worked with. She is a zealous advocate while still maintaining her professional courtesy toward other attorneys. I not only would recommend her but would consider using her services myself if needed."
