Highly recommend

Went in for a modification to an existing 50/50 arrangement. In the process of that, I had to get an emergency pickup order put in place for my 3-year-old. Something that normally takes a week or more to get done, was done in 1 single day. I received calls and emails throughout the process after busi...ness hours which showed their dedication to each person's situations. Can't thank Mr Peddy, Brooke and the rest of the staff enough for all their hard work. They were organized, on time and prepared. I now have full custody off all 3 of my kids and they made sure to put stipulations in place to help their mom get back on track so she can hopefully at some point get herself re-involved with the kids as well. It wasn't about 1 side or the other winning, it was about doing whats best for the kids.

Family Law Battle

Spent about two years working with the office on a family case. Brooke is phenomenal & the rest of the staff was friendly as well. Always there to listen, quick to reply, and very educated. You don’t have to ask many questions because they explain everything so well. Though these types of cases can b...e a nightmare, Peddy Law makes it seem not so bad. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed

Awesome Lawyer/Team

My experience with Mr Peddy and Staff for 50/50 custody of my child has been Amazing. Mr Peddy and his team handled my case with such professionalism and care. Everyone was very understanding of my goals and worked very hard to see that I would gain joint custody and the out come came in my favor.I ...highly recommend them for any legal matters you may have. He has been very straight forward, always there to answer my questions and most of all he will make it happen. Thank You Mr. Peddy, Brooke and the rest of the team. On behalf of myself Julius T., My son and My family Thank You All So Much! “Defend Your Rights as a Father in your child's life as You are Your Child's voice and Don't Ever Give Up".

Family oriented

Wonderful to work with and extremely meticulous in his attention to detail and going for the clients desire with family and children in mind. Couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome of my divorce.

Trustworthy and agressive

Robert Peddy has represnted me for the last 4 years in a very complicated, highly emotional case. The entire staff has been incredibly helpful and has provided services above and beyond. Robert has been honest, and tenacious in helping me bring this mess to clean and final closure. We highly recomme...nd him. Above all... you can actually trust him.

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.
