Tremendous value

After working with two previous attorneys who both missed the mark in defending my divorce case, I retained Ms. Raddatz, and she completely changed my perspective on what outstanding legal representation should be. Her thorough handling of my case, combined with her honesty, professionalism, and c...onsistent follow-through, helped me achieve the results I was hoping for. She kept me informed throughout the process and always made me feel like my case mattered. I highly recommend Ms. Raddatz to anyone in need of a skilled and dedicated divorce attorney. On top of the exceptional representation, her fees were very reasonable and well worth the investment.

Recommended Unreservedly

Attorney Peggy Raddatz is a first-class family law attorney. I recommend her services unreservedly. To substantiate my recommendation, I will share three points from my experience in working with Ms. Raddatz. First, as noted by numerous other reviewers, Ms. Raddatz is very responsive. Even when... she is unable to turn her attention immediately to my questions, she responds that she has noted my question and that she will turn to it at her earliest opportunity. Second, Ms. Raddatz is direct, honest, and frank with her clients. While it can be difficult to learn and accept the harsh realities of family courts, it is better to understand the facts of the case and what can be done to work towards the best outcome for one's children. Ms. Raddatz always explains what is realistic, what is sensible, and what is out of the question. This knowledge and expertise are indispensable. Third, Ms. Raddatz endeavors to achieve an 'Agreed Order' for her clients. This means working with the opposing counsel to negotiate an order to which both parties agree, and the Judge simply signs off on that order. This avenue is much more beneficial than showing up to court without having done the due diligence of working towards a solution. Judges generally look favorably upon parties that do the hard work of reaching an agreement prior to court. In addition, Ms. Raddatz's paralegal, Ginger, has been immensely helpful in assisting with various administrative matters for my case. If and when additional issues arise that require a family law attorney, I rest assured knowing that I can work with Ms. Raddatz to resolve these issues expeditiously and effectively.

Amazing Advocate!

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.

Very fast response

When I was in need of a lawyer that would fight for me, I came along on her profile. She was fast and down to earth that made me feel confortable telling her what I needed her to do on my personal situation, regarding family matter and she did fast. Thank you Peggy. Lawyer around Chicago area.

Very responsive

Avvo was a great tool which directed me me to attorney Raddatz. Peggy Raddatz was very responsive and answered all my questions regarding my case. Peggy was honest and realistic to the expectations that pertained to my case. Peggy placed my child first and acquired positive results for my child’s ...long term needs. Peggy is an excellent lawyer with years of experience and knows child custody laws. I highly recommend her.
