About Jessica
Biography
Jessica has devoted much of the last decade to reframing and expanding the entire way we view families in the context of their legal needs, with a focus on resolving high-conflict family law matters with the lowest level of litigation possible.
Traditional family law firms focus almost solely on divorce, custody, and property division. Jessica has handled more than 200 contested and collaborative cases in these areas. Jessica also insists on mastering the other types of expertise and legal services modern families rely upon when life gets most challenging.
Named a top Colorado education law attorney, she helps parents and kids seeking enforcement and protection of disability rights in our schools. Likewise, she is seasoned at representing kids and parents tied up in school or juvenile court proceedings. For families seeking to expand through adoption and guardianship, she’ll be there in court with you. She is passionately devoted to helping families find solutions to mental health and substance abuse challenges and is adept at crafting parenting plans that use modern technology and tiered-visitation to keep kids safe. With a public policy graduate degree and multiple prestigious fellowships focused on government accountability, Jessica crafts creative and workable solutions for our clients, in the context of healthcare law, enforcement of medical billing protections and much more.

The GOAT -
I have arguably the most complicated and most litigated custody case known to mankind - while others refuse to work on my case Jessica has taken it on with such grace and positivity.

Jessica Peck's Lawyer Endorsements
"Jessica is a skilled family law practitioner and a true asset to her domestic relations clients. I enjoy working with her and endorse her without hesitation."
"I worked with Jessica on an high-conflict case, and found her to be both professional and reasonable. She was always available to communicate, and we were able to reach a positive resolution for both of our Clients. In a field so occupied by high-tension and borderline unprofessional dynamics between opposing counsels, I found Jessica's approach to be refreshing and lovely. I highly recommend Jessica if you are seeking intelligent, compassionate, and thoughtful representation."
"I have seen Jessica working tirelessly on behalf of her clients. She literally works nights and weekends for them. I've seen her in court and she is brilliant. Anyone seeking a family law attorney would be well served to hire her."
"Jessica does what's right for her clients. She knows the law and can put you in the best position for a good outcome in your case. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse Jessica as a family law attorney. I had the pleasure of working with her on a particularly divisive child custody issue and found her to be an honest, straightforward, and respectful attorney. Her approach assured that we were able to reach a settlement that benefited both parties and avoided a nasty hearing. I wish all family law attorneys handled their cases like Jessica, as she obviously understood that at the end of the day we are dealing with families."
"I endorse this lawyer. Jessica is a brilliant attorney who fights vigorously for her clients. She is always professional and a pleasure to work with as opposing counsel. Her clients are privileged and blessed to have her working for them."
"Jessica is a caring and compassionate attorney with a strong concern for ethics and her clients' well being."
"I endorse this lawyer. Great attorney knowledgeable and competent."
"Outstanding."
"Jessica and I were opposing counsels on a very difficult case. One of the hardest cases I have ever had, and probably ever will have. No matter how crazy our clients were going, Jessica and I were able to continue a professional relationship that was positive and helpful. With almost any other opposing counsel, the case would have been a nightmare. I know that she is a great attorney who fights for her clients, but does so in a way that is professional. I would recommend Jessica to anyone."
"I endorse this lawyer as a passionate defender of her clients' interests."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Peck constantly provides incredible answers to Avvo questions and shows her knowledge, common sense and caring and compassionate to people who are scared and in serious need of assistance. I would not hesitate to refer to her."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Peck in emerging areas of law. I have always found Ms. Peck to be extremely confident and highly knowledgeable in the subject matter. Ms. Peck provides her clients with a high level compassion while diligently protecting their interests. As an attorney, Ms. Peck is a top performer."
"I have known Jessica for over 8 years and I highly recommend her as an attorney. I am a personal injury lawyer and I do not hesitate to refer my clients to Jessica if they need help with their divorce, contract disputes or other legal needs. Jessica is an extremely bright attorney who is not afraid to tell her clients the hard truth. In the world of divorce work it is hard to find a lawyer that is both fair to their client and fights for every last thing that the client deserves. Jessica is that lawyer."
