Review

“If you chose Miss Angela Peacock to represent you, you chose a young, motivated, competent lawyer who listens to you patiently, who is ready to understand you, who is always there whenever you call her or you need her. She represents you well in front of the second party and the state institutions. ...She offers you correct informations about the fees of the procedures and services and tells you how to reduce them. She really takes care of you and is honest about the problems and concerns that you are asking her for advice. I took the right decision when I hired her.”

Client Review

Angela was who I found when I sent the urgent TEXT message, "HELP! Anyone know a GOOD Lawyer?" I met with Angela & was so relieved to find that she was a very gifted attorney. As a working mother of five I thought our communication would be hindered. However, I was very impressed with how she... kept me informed and even took the time to provide definitions, explanations of various legal terms, & how it would affect me & my family. The case was complex as the child custody, parenting plans and finances were all issues. Angela was very organized & knowledgeable about the law as well as a great person to have discussions with. Angela is a "go-getter", straight forward, honest, graceful, dignified and has the professional determination to do the job right. I am thankful for her because she fought for what was best for my family. I will always turn to Angela for future needs & recommend her to all my family & friends.

Client Review

I am happy to write this review on behalf of Ms. Angela Peacock. I was referred to Angela by another attorney who spoke highly of her skill and expertise in handling divorce cases. I could not agree more. My case was fraught will obstacles at every turn. I appreciated her prompt attention to new ...issues, establishing an open relationship, and providing resources and information which allowed me to make informed, appropriate decisions for myself and my family. I found Angela to be extremely easy to communicate with. She was timely in answering emails and voicemails, and listened to all my concerns whether big or small. She warned me of pitfalls that could arise but also advocated for me despite the inevitable resistance. She understood my rights and the law. It really made a difference in whether I gave in or kept on fighting through the proceedings. Divorce, separation, and custody disputes are such a private, emotional journey. I found trusting my counsel was essentia

Client Review

I had the pleasure to work with Angela during my divorce. As difficult of a time that was, I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. As a lawyer, she was extremely knowledgeable and efficient. Angela is also very personable and caring. I truly believe she wants nothing but the best for her clie...nts and works hard to get it. At one point during the process she had food poisoning and still called me from home to discuss certain items. That was above and beyond the call in my opinion. I would recommend Angela to anyone who needed a lawyer.

Client Review

After having a bad experience with my original divorce attorney, Angela Peacock was a breath of fresh air. She's highly attentive and brought my case to a close with ease. I never was never left out of the loop and felt very confident in her skills. If I need a family lawyer in the future, I woudn...'t think of using anyone else.

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."

"Angela is knowledgeable, experienced, assertive without being the sort of lawyers that judges don't like, and cares for her clients. I have referred clients to her when I could not take them on, which is perhaps the highest compliment one can pay to a lawyer. I highly recommend her."

"I endorse this lawyer. Angela is an excellent lawyer and an asset to the legal community. She is my go-to person when I have a question about family law. Angela is very knowledgeable in her practice areas and is devoted to the highest level of representation for her clients. I never hesitate to refer potential clients to Angela when their needs fall outside of my practice area or I have a conflict of interest that prevents me from taking the case. I know that Angela will provide the same high level of service that I would want if I were hiring an attorney, and I am confident that any potential client will be in good hands with Angela."
