Best Decision!

I am happy I retained Angela Peacock to assist me with my divorce proceeding. Initially, I tried to handle the divorce on my own, but I soon regretted it. The day I first met with Angela, I found her to be warm, caring and knowledgeable about the process, my options and my rights. After my first c...ourt appearance, I discovered I was in way over my head, and I retained Angela that same day! During this process, Angela always took the time to explain things to me in detail so I could understand the decisions I was about to make and the possible outcomes. I would present her with the situation, and she would provide me with the options I could take and her recommendations about how to proceed. From start to finish, I trusted Angela, and I let her guide me during this difficult and stressful time. She will fight for you, support you and give you peace of mind so you can take care of rebuilding a better life for yourself! Without Angela’s help, I know my divorce would not have ended as well as it did. I have already referred other clients to her, and I will continue to do so. Thank you, Angela!

SHE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU!!!

I had been dealing with a family court custody case for over a year by the time I met Angela Peacock. Before I met Angela, I had used a different attorney, but because I lacked confidence in my first attorney, I switched to Angela. Angela was referred to me by one of her previous clients. From the ...first time I met with Angela, I knew she was exactly what I needed, and I knew she would be in my corner. Angela came into the case, and she immediately turned my case around for the better. When we went to trial, I felt prepared, confident and at ease. Angela helped me obtain custody of my son, and she fought for me every step of the way! She is professional, honest, caring, and timely in her responses. Angela is one of the best attorneys, and her assistant, Stacey, is wonderful. I highly recommend Angela, and have already referred my friends to her.

Family Law

To Whom it May Concern: I recently had the privilege to have Angela Peacock represent me in a legal matter regarding something very dear to me--my daughter. Angela's qualifications had impressed me, but what really stood out was her certification as a Specialist in Family Law. By the end of 2016..., only 65 other attorneys had achieved this honor. I scheduled an initial consultation with her, hoping she would live up to her written qualifications. It turned out Angela Peacock is more special than her resume. Her dedication and commitment to my case was immediately apparent. I realized I had found an attorney with integrity and knowledge--I realized I had found the right attorney. From the beginning, Angela was very up front with me about my case. By the end of the first meeting, I felt a huge burden had been lifted because she promised she would do everything possible to help me achieve my goals. True to her word, Angela kept me informed regarding the progress of my case, allowing me to be an active participant. Clearly, she was committed to protecting what I value most--my daughter. Because of her superior knowledge about family law matters, she patiently and skillfully guided me through my case, helping me to clearly understand how my current decisions could impact my future for years to come. Would I have Angela represent me again? In a heartbeat, and again, I would be blessed to have her!

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.

Very proactive, thorough and prepared

At the beginning of my divorce/relocation proceeding, I was using a different attorney, and I lived across the country. Initially, I made some poor decisions which was based upon some bad advice that I received from my first attorney. I wanted a second opinion, and I met with Ms. Peacock. After my ...initial meeting with Ms. Peacock, I immediately had my first attorney withdraw from my case, and I hired Ms. Peacock based on her knowledge, truthfulness and professionalism as a Certified Family Law Specialist. Ms. Peacock was very proactive, thorough and prepared throughout my case which took a year to conclude. Here are some examples: Ms. Peacock explained everything in depth to me, with examples and statues when applicable. I felt this displayed her knowledge of the law, thoroughness, and patience with me. Her straightforwardness and realistic view (even when I did not want to hear it) kept me grounded and ready for any proceeding/outcome to my case. Ms. Peacock responded to emails/phone calls in a timely manner. If she was not in the office- her wonderful legal assistant, Lisa, would get in touch with me, or Ms. Peacock would have an outbox email message to explain her absence and who to contact if anything significant were to arise. Ms. Peacock even emailed me while she was on maturity leave. That is dedication. To help ease my anxiety, Ms. Peacock would meet me prior to all major court proceedings for discussions, strategizing and preparation. It was apparent how well Ms. Peacock was organized and prepared in the issues and facts during my hearing and trial in comparison to the opposing counsel. Everyone’s case is different. If your case was as active as mine, be prepared for long nights and a lot of deadlines. In the end, Ms. Peacock's skills, knowledge, care and experience provided my family a positive outcome. I whole-heartedly would recommend her to anyone involved in a family case. Best, JP

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."
