Excellent Attorney

I spent two months conducting a search for a proper attorney for my separation/divorce – meeting with over 15 lawyers during that time. I chose Angela Peacock because she is highly competent and gets the job done. I am currently a law student can attest that her knowledge of the law is incredibly tho...rough. Whenever making a strategic decision, she would always analyze the current situation while considering both new and old facts. Not only that, but I was dealing with a hostile ex-spouse so I needed someone to help navigate that. Angela proved to be an excellent strategic thinker, negotiator, and an enterprising settlement-maker. She made complex legal concepts and strategies understandable to an ordinary person. I felt that I knew the potential outcomes of each step we took during my separation and that Angela was always five steps ahead of the other side. Her legal documentation drafting, emails between us the opposing side, communication with the judge, and preparation of settlement letters and negotiations was excellent. Angela fought hard for me and was able to win. Without her help I would have been in deep trouble because I don’t believe other attorneys would have had such a high level of skill and competence. Angela executed under pressure and I came out with a major win. The quality of my life has dramatically improved since putting this separation behind me and I am incredibly happy I found her. I would recommend Angela to my closest family members and anyone else who is seeking a knowledgeable lawyer that gets things done the right way."

Exactly the lawyer I was looking for

In 2018 my husband of 30 years and I were going through a rough patch and I made the decision to obtain a divorce. I spoke with friends and checked information on line looking for a good lawyer. Quickly the same name continued to come up and that name was Angela Peacock in Chandler. I made an appoint...ment and after our first meeting was convinced that I had made the right choice. Ms. Peacock quickly became very knowledgeable about our circumstances and acted appropriately. I immediately hired her and was very happy with how quickly our divorce was worked out. Ms. Peacock attended court appearances with me and was able to let me know what to expect. I wanted people to know that Ms. Peacock is a very good lawyer who always got back to me right away, cant say enough about her knowledge of the law and how easy she is to work with.

Quite simply the best attorney you could hire

Angela’s knowledge of family law is second-to-none and we experienced this from the moment we had our introductory meeting, based on her understanding of our situation once explained, through to the day we had our successful final outcome. She asked pointed questions, pointed out the flaws in our cas...e we would have to address and offered possible paths we would take to remedy depending on the respondents actions from the outset. Angela continued to steer us in the right direction all through the case and was effective, clear and concise in her filings and petitions. If you expect to hire a top professional with exhaustive knowledge of the law, Angela provides that in abundance. Once satisfied with her knowledge, it was also very important to us that Angela had a caring character and would act in a way consistent with how we view the world. It’s easy to find an aggressive attorney but much harder to find a compassionate attorney that is assertive and steely to back-up their knowledge when needed. Angela has these qualities in abundance. She handled our cares and concerns directly and clearly and was patient with our long list of ‘what if’ questions, always replying in a timely manner and offering to meet whenever we needed by whatever method suited us. She does expect you to do the work with her, but if you’re interested in a successful outcome and you are smart, then you’ll follow her advice as she knows her business. She also does this in a way that allowed us to save money, as she gave us lots of homework that allowed us to keep our costs down when she could of easily had her office do the work and just billed us for the hours. Angela outlined our case from the very beginning in a very matter-of-fact way and continued that approach throughout our case. I have to emphasize that this was critical as we were quite emotional over this case. We needed somebody with clarity and vision that would not get wrapped up in our emotion. Too many people sympathize vs. strategize. When you hire an attorney for a family law case, you need your attorney to do the latter and strategize and that is what Angela provides. She focuses on the law, the strategy, the process, the requirements and the step-by-step approach needed to walk through the case and this helps ease the emotional stress. This was not a one-time thing. As you move through a case like this, things come up that are emotional and have to be dealt with and Angela was there every step of the way each time a situation came up to help explain and calm us. Angela also gave us input forcing us to think about future issues that may arise that had not previously considered and should provide safeguards against. This was not something that she was going to get paid for or credit for in the future, but it was another example of her diligent and professional attitude in providing us that outlook. We now have some solid plans in place for dealing with situations that may arise because of Angela’s advice. I would recommend Angela to anybody looking to fight a family law case. Her knowledge, approach, belief in what is right and work ethic are excellent and I believe in any case against another attorney Angela would prove the be the most prepared, most knowledgeable and frankly the most caring about what the outcome would be. Angela brings a ‘partnership’ to your case that every client hopes for from an attorney and we could not of asked for a better advocate. Thank you Angela, always. D and S.

Happy with Results

I recently went through a divorce and Ms. Peacock served as my attorney throughout the process. During my initial consultation, Ms. Peacock set realistic expectations as to the timeframe, cost and overall process. She was honest about what I should expect related to the legal process. Ms. Peacock... represented me proactively and responded to all of my inquiries in an extremely timely and professional manner. I'm not proficient in the area of law and specifically in divorce law and I was very impressed with Ms. Peacock's knowledge of the law and advice in this process. She successfully led me through the process of mediation and ultimately a settlement in my case. I appreciated that Ms. Peacock was conscientious of the costs incurred through this process and always advised me as such with an awareness of not spending money when not necessary. I was recommended to Ms. Peacock by a family member that had recently used her services and I would certainly recommend her to my friends and family members.

Angela Peacock, One Of Arizona's Best!

Angela recently represented me in a very unique and emotional divorce case. She listened intently to all of the details during our meetings and was extremely understanding of the special circumstances surrounding this case. Angela always answered every question or concern that I had very quickly, eit...her in person, by email or phone. All of the correspondence letters, settlement letters, negotiations and court documents were professionally written and presented to the courts in order and on time. Her vast knowledge of the law helped guide me through the process and I could not have made it through this without her guidance and compassion.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have worked with Angela on many cases. I would be very confident and comfortable referring my family and closest friends to her for their family law and divorce matters. Angela is unique among family lawyers in that she is both very detailed oriented, she will not miss a small detail, but yet at the same time, like all great lawyers, she can see the big picture and long term needs of her clients. Her mastery of these conflicting skills enables her to provide exceptional advice to her clients. I have witnessed her under pressure and she does not crack under pressure. She is calm under fire, keeps a clear and rational head. She cannot be intimidated. She is very understanding to her client's needs and will work hard to make sure her clients are protected. She is a skilled litigator, and a successful negotiator. She will encourage settlement when settlement is the right thing to do. She is compassionate, reasonable and cares greatly about her clients. She is highly respected."
