Family Court: Child Custody Case

I had the privilege of hiring Sara Stephenson Peska for a child custody case. Over the course of two years I was able to develop a wonderful, long lasting relationship with Mrs. Stephenson Peska. In times of need, she was there to comfort and provide me with knowledgeable information in moving forwa...rd. Sara is very diligent, thorough, sharp and compassionate. Mrs. Stephenson Peska came very highly recommended to me, and I could not be more pleased with the outcome of my case. Her professionalism and work ethic speaks for itself, call and make your consulatation today. It will be one of the best choices you make.

Truly wonderful and amazing lawyer! I recommend her!!

Sara took a lot of time helping my husband on his custody case. I can't say how grateful I am for the time she took to look into all of the details and help us out. This lawyer is a highly active lawyer, she is nice and kind. I felt better after everything she did in a little time for my family. ...I was more than impressed.

Expongement Case: Beautifully Done!

I hired Ms. Stephenson for an expungement case in a county for which I was not a resident. She not only got this done for me in a timely fashion but kept me well informed all through out the way, even though I was about 2 hours away from her, by sending me email and snail mail. I'm very impressed wit...h not only her work but also her character.

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.
