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.”

Completing My Marriage

I met Angela Peacock after retaining Bishop Law Firm from a very reputable referral resource! I also had Interviewed several Law Firms before choosing to retain Bishop! After Meeting with William Bishop, he felt Angela Peacock would be the best choice for my case! I feel he was right as I began m...y journey through the unpleasant process of a divorce! Angela was great at staying in contact with me, keeping me abreast of changes, confrontations, challenges, and any details that I was completely confused about or confronted by... Such as “Legal Language”, “Case files from other cases that were pertinent to my divorce”. Angela was a “tiger” for my defense in both the court room and in both depositions, and yet has a very securing and consoling nature to client. I was a completely devastated when this divorce began, I clearly did not want it! Angela quickly powerfully and compassionately got me focussed and moving in the fastest least painful way out of the marriage! I am 100% completely confident in Angela’s abilities! When she did not know an answer she was straight with me up front and quickly utilized the resources of her Bishop law firm team to deliver the correct information! I have since referred Angela to two people, one man and one woman, no relation to each other who were venturing into a divorce! As I said, divorce is not fun at all, a great Attorney will keep you focused and on track! A bad attorney will add to your suffering by using you to achieve their agenda! Angela Peacock went to great lengths to minimize the cost of my divorce! That was very important to me! I hope this review helps you in your consideration process! R. Follett

Angela Peacock Review

Divorce was something that I felt would never happen to me. When divorce became my only option, I had no idea what to do and where to start. After meeting with Angela for the first time she made me feel comfortable and gave me the answers to all the questions that had been keeping me up at night. ...Angela not only took into account my best interests, but also the best interests of my children. Angela was very professional and at the same time very personal and understanding of the situation I was going thru. Looking back, now that my divorce has been finalized, I’m thankful for Angela, her knowledge, her experience and for time she spent working to find the best solution for my family and I. Angela Peacock was referred to me by a family member and I would definitely refer her to anyone who is going through a divorce.

Smart, educated, and easy to talk to. This lawyer knows her stuff!

From the first time I sat down with Ms Peacock it was obvious she knew what she was doing, what i needed and how to get it. I was in a divorce involving minor children and a bi-polar wife. Angela knew exactly how to go about making sure that there were provisions in the divorce to keep my kids sa...fe and leave me an option to go for full custody later should my ex not take her medication. Always prompt, polite and quick with a joke, she made what was already a rough situation much easier to get through. At no time did I ever feel that she was not in complete control of the situation and on top of what it would take to get this done in a timely manner. In short, divorce is rough, even under the best of circumstances. Having Angela as a lawyer made it infinitely better to go through. I would recommend her first for anyone dealing with such a difficult task.

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.

"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."

"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."
