Above & Beyond

I came to Mr. Peddy in the middle of my divorce case after a horrible experience with my first attorney. He was gracious enough to take on my mess of a case and made me feel like everything was going to be ok. He has a wonderful team of very competent and compassionate individuals! This team was comm...unicating with me at 4am on the day of my Trial! I am grateful for Peddy Law firm for going above & beyond!

Family Law Case

Mr. Peddy represented me in a family law case. Mr. Peddy was easy to reach for questions. Sarah and Trish returned my emails, usually on the same day. Peddy's firm was able to navigate through rough waters caused by opposing counsel. Opposing counsel never returned emails or telephone calls and did e...verything she could to stall proceedings and control every aspect of the process. I won't mention the counsel's name but it's similar to carcinoma. I was pleased with the outcome of my case. I would retain Mr. Peddy again if needed.

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.
