Posted by Jessica P | October 02, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Glad I found an angel in my most difficult times of my life to endure.

I met Mr. Peck in the year 2018, after speaking with him on the phone for the first time... I knew I made the right choice when I took all the steps, through the hardest moments of my life... I questioned him right away about trustworthiness due to the events that occured in the months prior... He wa...s a godsend in the time of my life where I was facing a scary divorce, going against scary individuals and needed someone trustworthy to represent myself and my child. Their entire firm is extremely respectful, the secretaries for the most part are caring... Eventually as well always return my call, especially when in an emergency. I am very blessed to have met the secretaries that are trustworthy, understandable to life and the many threats on a daily basis. They as well have families, and CARE to get to the bottom of things. I would highly recommend this lawyer to ANYONE in fear for their family, experiencing divorce even if it's a messy one... 10/10: Highly recommend.

Hired Ched to handle my divorce

There were a few bumps in the road but it was to be expected. Ched was able to get my divorce done proficiently. I retained full custody of my children, and was able to keep my ex-wife out of my retirement and she got no alimony..both of which is not an easy thing to accomplish as a male..if youre lo...oking for someone to sugar coat things for you he is not your guy..if youre looking for someone to handle business and tell you how it is hire Ched

An amazing attorney

I shopped around a bit before I ultimately decided to retain Ched Peck as my attorney. After our initial consultation, I knew was the best fit for me for several reasons. First, Ched is aggressive but not unrealistic in his goals. He listened to the pleas of this desperate single mom and created a pr...actical legal plan to get what was best for me and my kids. Also, he is very fair with his costs. He respected that I had certain financial limitations and he worked with me. Ched is reassuring without coddling, which was important to me. Whenever we had to meet with my ex or go to court, he was always there to boost my confidence before and applaud me for my efforts after. He is a well-spoken, hard-working attorney and I highly recommend anyone looking for representation to contact him.

Incredible straightshooting awesome lawyer for Paternal rights.

Ched represented me for my divorce. Life was pretty awful during the early parts and throughout the process. Ched gave me unflinchingly truthful information and possibilities the whole time. He was frank with me, clearly explained my options, boosted my morale without saying things that weren't so.... He didn't sugar coat anything and he worked with me to prioritize the outcomes and processes I needed to be aware of in order to make informed decisions. At the end of the entire mess I ended up with the top 3 things I wanted most: my kids, no alimony, and the ability to move forward without crazy debts. Even when things were horrible for me and I couldn't figure out which way was up; Ched handled the hard stuff and kept me focused. I understand that things are complex and divorces with children are difficult. I understand that not everything works out as someone wants it to. What I liked most about Ched was that he never promised me something that wasn't doable. He always kept me aware of options if things didn't work out as we'd expected. And, and this is huge, he did everything ethically. I swear I wished at times we could be as ruthless and shady as the woman representing my ex. Short term legal battles might have turned out in our favor - maybe. But by keeping us on sound ethical footing regardless of the injustices done to us during the battle; Ched ensured we did nothing that painted us into a corner during appeals or reviews. That assuredly wasn't possible for the ex and her lawyer and was ultimately what resulted in our victories. I've gone into too much detail here I think... but I can't express enough how much I appreciated the legal counsel and practical advice Ched offered. One thing I learned from this entire mess; because I saw it play out with the ex and other people in my network - it is vital you have an attorney you can trust. Having one that behaves in a personally and professionally moral way allows that connection to develop.

I very much appreciate the complimentary review. You are absolutely correct to say that no outcome is certain. Be very skeptical of any attorney that promises a certain outcome in a contested divorce or custody case.

Posted by Daniel | September 18, 2014 | Divorce & Separation

Highly recommended!

I would recommend that if anyone is in need of obtaining a lawyer, to contact Ched Peck. He is very upfront, honest, professional, and knowledgeable about the law. Ched kept me informed every step of the way through my divorce, listened to what I wanted, and then accomplished it. He did an excelle...nt job in the court room; I was highly impressed with him and I will never use another lawyer. He was easy to get in touch with whenever I had a question, and he always returned my calls immediately if he was in court, etc. I am very satisfied with the service that I received from Ched. Anyone looking for a lawyer should give him a call. You will be glad that you did.
