Bob is a fighter!

From the time that I hired Robert Peddy and his team, they went on the offensive to help me with my case. After many counter measures from the other side we hit a home run in the final hearing! I got 50/50 with my kids and no child support! Hire Robert Peddy you won’t be disappointed if you are pa...tient with the process!

You couldn't ask for a better attorney!!

I had to take my husband back to court for non-payment of child support and alimony. I was so lucky to have found Mr. Peddy and his support team (Trish, Brooke & Stephanie). They were absolutely wonderful to work with and made me feel right at home. They are on top of their game and they do not me...ss around. If you are looking for a great attorney look no further give Robert a call! I received exactly what I was asking for, thank you so much!!

Stacked Deck

My Ex filed for increased child support with the Department of Revenue in Florida. Mr. Peddy was able to defend me in a situation where I thought all the cards were stacked against me. After our scheduled mediation, Peddy won me more time with both of my beautiful children and I cannot be more than...kful for this.

Excellent Attorney

I couldn't have chosen a better attorney than Robert Peddy to handle my case. I worked with him on this case for almost 3 years and he did the best work possible. My daughters biological father wanted no part of her and served me with documents to reduce his child support. Mr. Peddy put so much effor...t and on the long run ended up winning the case. The biological father gave up his rights and my wonderful boyfriend adopted my daughter. Me Peddy always kept in communication and notified me of every single thing going on with the case. If you need a family law attorney or looking for an attorney in the field he works in he's the one to go to. Robert Peddy is the best attorney!!!!

Child support modification/motions for contempt

A friend referred me to Attorney Peddy 13 months ago. I had tried to pursue modification of child support on my own and was overwhelmed with the actions of my former husband and his attorney and felt the need to be represented. I was completely impressed from my very first visit. Attorney Peddy ex...plained everything to me in detail and assured me if I put my trust in him we would prevail. We ended in a trial and Attorney Peddy was not just organized but calm, collected and professional. Never having been in a courtroom for a trial I was nervous. Attorney Peddy made me feel safe, confident and represented. We, of course, prevailed. I would recommend him without reservation!

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.
