An attorney you can trust

Angela is hands down the best attorney you could ask for. This was my first time having to go to court and I didn't know what to expect. Angela took the time to explain exactly what to expect and what we could hope for in my situation. She did exactly what she said she was going to do. If I could ...give her 10 stars, I would. I would recommend her to anyone that is going through a messy custody battle. Angela and her staff went out of their way numerous times to help me prepare for court. They are both extremely helpful and friendly. In court, Angela is firm and does not take any nonsense from the other side, she will fight for you. I will be forever grateful to Angela for helping me protect my children.

Best team to have who has your best interest at heart

Angela Peacock and her team are exactly what I needed during one of the most stressful times in my life! They were efficient, professional, helpful, friendly ... the list goes on and on. Ms. Peacock treated me and my case as if I was extremely important to her. She walked me through the process... from start to finish, explained what I did not understand and provided guidance when I was unsure how I should proceed. She really took the time to explain all of my options to me, their possible consequences, and the best way to proceed in an effort to achieve a successful resolution. Ms. Peacock and her staff were extremely flexible with my schedule and were always there to help me resolve my issues. I would gladly recommend Ms. Peacock to anyone who needs help with a family law matter. Thank you Ms. Peacock and team

Best In Town

During a very challenging time in my life, Angela provided outstanding dedication, legal knowledge and expertise when taking on my case. She calmed my fears and took the stress of my legal situation off my shoulders. She was always quick to respond to my concerns. I felt Angela’s understanding of wha...t I was up against extremely comforting. I greatly appreciate Angela and her paralegal, Stacey. Their hard work, integrity and willingness to go the extra mile truly paid off for me. I would not hesitate to recommend Angela to anyone looking for an amazing family law attorney.

Empathetic Lawyer

I needed a family law attorney for a situation that I did not have the knowledge or understanding to deal with on my own. I feel so grateful and fortunate to have found Angela Peacock. She was incredibly empathetic, thoughtful and responsive in her approach and was able to help guide me to a fair a...nd reasonable outcome.

Caring, Smart Attorney

Angela genuinely cares about her clients, and she went above and beyond to make me feel at ease during my case. Angela is an excellent lawyer, her knowledge of the law truly helped me throughout my process and proved successful helping me understand my rights and garnering me what I was entitled to ...in the law. Angela was always available to me either in person or on the phone. She did not let an issue or question go without being responded to. My case was clear to her early on and with her extensive knowledge she knew how to approach my case and provide a wise argument for my needs with great success. Angela is exceedingly prepared and detail oriented, which I am the beneficiary of. I also benefited from her professionalism and expertise. She has my highest recommendation for others in need of family law matters.

Family lawyer | Jun 23

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."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"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."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
