I had a good amount of battles in family court and worked with multiple attorneys. When I met Peggy M. Raddatz, it was clear she was the right choice. She is principled, caring, and handles business with a firm fist. She fought for me in my last three cases, and we came out victorious. It’s not just... about winning or losing; it’s about what’s best for the child. And that's what Peggy delivers. I'm so grateful, thank you.

Peggy has been incredible during my divorce process. Her no-nonsense and direct approach has helped keep the whole process focused and timely. She is so knowledgeable of the laws surrounding divorce and child custody issues, and I have been extremely well prepared throughout the process. She has bee...n my ultimate advocate, and I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a straight shooter backed with such extensive knowledge and experience

Peggy has handled my cousins divorce, who had nothing but praise for her and the fact that he got shared custody of kids, return life back to semi normal was priceless. Unfortunately my own divorce happened earlier, with a different lawyer. And while it got concluded, I did not feel like I have som...eone on my side in a costly case. Few years later 2 of my 3 kids reached 18 and I hired Peggy for a child support adjustment (as college expenses now became my primary concern). What a difference from day one. Peggy took care of the court, efficiently ran the case, with no drama getting the issue resolved better than I ever hoped. Then year later my 17 year old youngest one decides he does not want to live with mom and wants to live with dad (which requires registering him at the new school district, taking care of custody, and dealing with uncooperative ex). And all that usually stressful situation where you want to make sure that your child is not impacted, I felt very little to no stress. Because I had Peggy on my side. For every twist and complication she had a solution, and the issue got settled. All I can tell you is that if you are going through these situations you need people like Peggy in your corner. And those type of folks are rare.

I am ashamed to say that originally Peggy was not my first phone call when searching for a lawyer. I was notified of a pending emergency child custody court date literally a week before, and was in a major rush to find a lawyer in time. Everyone I called kept beating around the bush, wanting a consul...tation fee, or even told me that I wasn't important enough for them to take my case. Not Peggy. I called Peggy, expecting an answering machine or an assistant, but I got her direct line. She picked up and we started chatting and she was able to take my case and get all caught up within a few days - and all for a flat rate! I have been so thankful to have her on my side. She is knowledgeable about family law, knowledgeable about child custody cases and Guardian Ad Litems, and will fight like hell for you in court. She is always available for questions - and I mean ALWAYS! Even if I send an email to her giving information or asking a question, she gets back to me immediately, and it is something that is greatly appreciated. She doesn't sugar coat or tell you what you think you want to hear, she tells you how it is. Peggy is one of those people who you want to have on your side because she doesn't back down. She is not afraid of opposing lawyers or judges and she will be your biggest supporter even outside the case. I am fully aware that Peggy has many other clients, but she never makes you feel like a burden. She takes your case personally and treats you like you and your family matters. She is the best advocate you could ask for, and at a rate that is affordable.

Going through a very expensive divorce that lasted almost 2 years I was very unhappy and had little faith in attorneys. I have 3 children who at the time were 5,4,1 and was the most stressful time of my life and needed someone in my corner. I would hear from my attorney maybe once every couple months... and not get emails returned, just the huge bills. Fast forward a couple years and some things came up with their mother and I needed to pursue full custody. I was terrified to lawyer shop again. I was browsing the internet on a Sunday morning and found peggy with 100 5 star reviews which was the best I found. I called and left a message asking if it was indeed a real person. She called me back ON A SUNDAY and we chatted. She was mad at me at first for not calling sooner. I mean this in a good way. She is very blunt and will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear, no sugar coating. Something I really appreciated. She had a flat rate for the emergency custody case which covered my whole case(over a year and a half in total) and a few more orders I feel were not really supposed to be included. Within a few weeks my kids were with me full time, I now have full custody and can still keep the lights on. I saved her best quality for last so hopefully you hung in there....she is ALWAYS available and responds almost immediately. This is so important when you're stressed out. I can't count how many times I had a question and would specifically note "no rush" or "when you're free" . I would still get a phone call or text(yes, from her cell phone) right away. To me it's hard to put a price tag on that, but there was, and it was very reasonable. I really hope to not need Peggy again but if I do I'll feel I'm in good hands. I would also like to give an honorable mention/shout out(use the term that reflects your age) to her paralegal Ginger, she is on top of her game and it's obvious her and Peggy use the same playback when it come to communication and promptness.
