Smart, experienced and effective

I hired Angela to represent me during my divorce and custody trial. I found Angela based on a family friend’s recommendation. From the first consultation, I could tell that she was caring, she communicated well, and she was knowledgeable about family law. Angela made sure I knew what would be ...expected of me during the process, what documents I need to support my positions, and the best way to achieve my goals. She made herself available to me on short notice. During trial, Angela was very prepared, and she presented all the facts to help me persuade the Court to rule in my favor. Angela ensured that I was prepared and knew what to expect. She made me feel comfortable and confident during the whole process. She was honest and up front. When the trial came, I felt confident in Angela's abilities and knowledge. I knew she would do all that she could to help me and my children. I would highly recommend Angela to anyone who needs a family lawyer.

My Angel

I hired Angela to help me navigate the divorce process. I was very stressed out, and I felt I had no one to turn to until I met with Angela. She was extremely knowledgeable about the laws, especially spousal support, and she guided me throughout the entire process. Angela comforted me and provided... suggestions to help me meet my goals. She was very responsive to my calls and emails, and she took the time to listen to my questions and provide me with her honest feedback. Angela went out of her way to make the situation the best it could be and helped me keep calm when I was upset or worried. She helped prepare me for each hearing, and she was on top of every deadline. In the end, she helped me achieve exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend Angela and will use her services again.

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

Great experience

Once I met with Angela Peacock, I knew she was the attorney for me! The divorce process is stressful, emotionally draining and at times, difficult to understand. However, Angela was able to guide me in the right direction, and she was able to explain the process to me. She was very compassionate a...nd kind, and I always felt she was looking out for my best interests at each stage of the process. Angela was always available to answer my questions, and she still is! Angela truly wants to protect your best interests, and she will fight for you! I highly recommend Angela for family law cases.

newly divorced

I have just experienced one of the most challenging events of my life, a divorce. It was overwhelming, upsetting and expensive. Thankfully, the court has ruled mostly in my favor, and that is a s a direct result of how Angela handled my case. She has the knowledge, experience and compassion to eff...iciently navigate the turbulence. She communicated with me concerning the strategy and likely corse of the case. When I was confused and emotionally upset, she and her staff were able to efficiently calm and reassure me. She responded to my emails and phone calls quickly. She clearly explained what was needed from me and how to proceed throughout the ordeal. Her billing and invoices were well-outlined and explained. My family and I were impressed with her preparedness and presentation at the trial. She was calm, assertive, organized, professional and competent. It is clear the Judge agreed. I chose a different attorney to start my divorce process, and that turned out to be a vivid mistake. I transferred to Angela about 2 months later, which was an effective decision. She immediately helped me with a strategy and actions to recover lost time. A good marriage is a good thing, and a bad marriage is a very bad thing. Life is either too short or too long to live like that. My advice to anyone thinking about divorce, visit with Angela prior to taking any action. She will help you navigate the best strategy for your situation. I hope you'll never need her services, but if you don, you'll be in good hands.

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."

"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."
