Sandra Williams Peake

Treated case like a conveyor belt and ruled based on personal bias or laziness, as though she didn't even hear or read anything. Constantly talked over my attorney and treated her rudely while showing clear favoritism to other side's attorney who was not following rules and constantly overruled our o...bjections "because (other side) was really trying" to answer, while shutting me down for everything/granting everything for opposing counsel. Cut off for a break in the middle of my testimony and then threatened my lawyer if I refused to agree to what she wanted to change she would award attorney fees to the other side. Had tons of evidence admitted on my side, nothing on other side, and she decided to force a change that is harmful to my kids because she had already made up her mind before the case was presented. She seemed to have a problem with me even though I barely got a chance to talk and had evidence to back up everything I was arguing. Got the strong impression it was my gender or appearance that formed her ruling.

This lawyer was very unorganized and on multiple occasions she continued court without consulting me. She seemed to be very involved in our initial consult but once she was retained, she did not return my phone calls and would not update me on my case. Many times I had to log on to the Court portal i...n order to see the status of my case. There were also a few occasions where I felt she was prejudiced as she made very inappropriate comments about my ex-wife's attorney. I felt like she was targeting people in the courtroom and would become frustrated and would lose her patience, making us look bad in front of the Judge.

Attorney Sandra Peake was referred to me by a friend who has used her services, and I could not have been happier. Attorney Peake kept me informed throughout the legal process. She is highly astute in the courtroom. Her litigation skills are impeccable - some of the best I have ever seen (able to se...amlessly rebut the inaccuracies of opposing attorney). I have hired Ms. Peake repeatedly throughout the years, and would do it again without fail. She comes highly recommended.

I thought that I could probate my mother's will my self. That was an incorrect thought. I met Mrs. Peake in the court house and asked her if she was an attorney. We met in her office later that day. I explained to her what needed to be done and it was. Whenever I called her she answered the pho...ne with the directions that I needed. Even when there was an out of state issue It was handled. One of the things that I appreciated is the timeliness in which all maters were handled. Sandra Peake explained the process step by step. No concern of my was too small or frivolous for her to attend to. I would hire her again if the need arises.
