Robert Bycelle Peddy Jr.

After many years of fighting an intense custody battle I hired Mr. Peddy and his wonderful staff. I had lost hope completely in the legal system. While other attorneys charged but didn’t do the work- Mr. Peddy and his staff read thousands of messages, put in the time to study my case and fought hard... for me and my child. Mr. Peddy is a force to be reckoned with in the court room and knows the laws thoroughly. I always felt very well represented and I am so happy to say the case was won! I thank God they were on my team! Thank you so very much!

I would definitely recommend Robert Peddy for divorce cases. He is highly experienced in the Polk County family court system and has been winning many cases for many years. I got personally referred to him by the local Dockery family, for my divorce case, and after a two year long divorce battle, the... outcome was great, and that was despite me having to go up against my ex who was a malignant narcissist physician who played dirty and pulled out all the stops to try to pulverize me. Robert Peddy is very capable and knowledgeable about what exactly needs to be presented in court, and he impresses the judges with his case law references, which is really important. He is also talented at sussing out facts from witnesses during depositions and getting to the bottom of things. Personality wise he is respectable, ethical, honest, likable, no nonsense, down-to-earth, good natured, has a sense of humor, and most importantly always maintains his integrity. He has been at this for decades, through which he has developed the good judgment to be able to know when to make an argument and when not to, which paths are worth pursuing and which aren’t. He understands the various judges and works well with other attorneys. He is realistic and doesn’t make false promises, yet still gets awesome results.

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.

When you start the process of divorce, you always hope for the best and trust that things like communication and co-parenting will be seamless and easy, especially for the sake of the children. Its not until you realize that divorce and co-parenting is one of the most difficult things you can encoun...ter as a parent, and that even in the most ideal situations, you WILL need a legal advocate – not simply an attorney. Robert has not only been my legal representative, but he and Trish have been the reassuring voice and guidance that I needed when I faced some of my worst days as a divorced father. Robert is tenacious, aggressive, and strategic, but he is also patient and will “strike while the iron is hot”. As he promised over eight years ago during our first consultation, I now have primary custody of both of my children. I could not have done it without Mr. Peddy and his legal team. His reputation is strong, his knowledge is vast, and his experience is worth every penny. I cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for his contributions to my family's future.

After doing some research I decided to approach the offices of Robert Peddys law firm with what I thought was going to be a tough case for myself being a father in a bitter child custody and divorce battle. Mr Peddy explained my avenues and delivered on what he said he was going to do. Trish in the o...ffice was exceptional, and Brooke and Casey couldn't of been more helpful or professional. After what seemed a very quick outcome, I ended up getting 50% custody of my little girl and came out of the divorce unusually well to say the least. I would and will recommend to any fathers out ther going through a similar situation. I really couldn't be happier with the outcome!
