⸻ Extremely Disappointing Consultation – Dehumanizing, Rushed, and Unprofessional
I don’t usually leave reviews, but I feel it’s important to share my experience in hopes of helping others make an informed decision. I came into this consultation prepared, open, and hoping for guidance. What I received instead was one of the most dehumanizing and unempathetic interactions I’ve e...
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am truly sorry to hear that you left our consultation feeling dismissed—that is never my intention. I understand how difficult and emotional these situations can be, and I regret that our interaction added to your stress. However, I make it a point to be candid during a consultation because I feel this better serves my clients. Our goal in every consultation is to offer honest, informed guidance—even when that means providing a realistic and sometimes difficult assessment of a relocation case. We know this information can be difficult to hear, especially when the situation is already emotional, but we always strive to approach it with professionalism. During our meeting, I explained you should not hire me because I was unable to help get you what you want, and I suggested you may want to confer with a few other attorneys to seek additional opinions. That said, it is clear from your review that you felt dismissed rather than supported. I am truly sorry for that, but I did not want to mislead you. I wish you all the best as you move forward.

I was advised if I paid the $150 consult fee it would go towards my fees for her. She was aware that I am currently awaiting my disability and did not have a job yet she Took my money and when it came time to retain her, she was suddenly to busy with her case load to take me on despite taking my mone...
We offer a discounted initial consultation fee of $150, and we provide legal advice during the consultation. According to my records, we met for the initial consultation in June 2024. Two (2) months later, i.e., in August 2024, you inquired about retaining me. Unfortunately, as we explained, we accepted a few other cases between the time we met in June and the time you wanted to retain me in August, and I was unable to accept your case due to my hectic trial schedule. However, as a courtesy, we issued a refund of $150 to you. I am sorry I was unable to help you, but I am unable to accept every case. We wish you the best of luck.

Not polite did not fight for me at all in court, unfair pricing.
I was thoroughly disappointed in how Angela represented me. I wish i would have picked someone else. I would suggest to anyone to ignore the high ratings and stars as I was completely disappointed in how she represented me and how much she charges for everything, including numerous issues and mistake...
I am sorry to hear that our services did not meet with your expectations. In our two (2) court hearings, we WON. Even though the opposing party wanted you to have supervised parenting time with your child, we were able to convince the Court that you are a good parent, and we obtained equal unsupervised parenting time. We did not make any mistakes, but we agree that the Court made a mistake, which we were required to correct. Also, as you know, we frequently put in more time on a case than we charge a client, and we provided you with substantial discounts in your case. However, if you want to further discuss your concerns and hopefully resolve them, please contact me at the office. Thank you.

Not good
I would urge potential clients to look for alternative representation/counsel. Ms. Peacock provided less than adequate representation at a high price. Ms. Peacock did not give me an assured feeling of good representation and was at times down right rude in her actions and mannerisms toward me, her pa...
I am sorry for the frustration you experienced. I recognize that when a client retains me, he or she is often going through one of the most difficult times in their lives, and I believe in complete honesty about what the client can expect during his/her family law matter. Sadly, when I deliver information to a client that he or she does not wish to hear or that he or she disagrees with, I take the risk that the client may misinterpret or distrust my advice. I always strive to provide honest feedback to my clients so they can make informed decisions about their case. Please contact me offline at 480-207-5923 to discuss your concerns so we may hopefully resolve them. Thank you.

Worst person ever!
Never met a more rude person. She was unprofessional and belittling. Worse way of handling a consult situation. When you're worried about your child's best interest you're hoping to deal with someone who is nice. Even if you don't like what she is saying she could still be nice, which she was not at ...
I am sorry you feel this way following our initial consultation. Because I have children, I understand that issues relating to parenting time and child support can be very emotional and often times stressful. However, I take pride in providing honest advice based upon the facts. After I heard about your expectations, I explained I was unable to assist you because I did not feel we were a good fit. This is the reason I did not charge you for the consultation fee. I hope everything turned out well, and if you want to address any further issues, please contact my office. Thank you.
"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."
"Angela is extremely professional, knowledgable and has excellent negotiating skills. I would recommend her to anyone."
"Angela is extremely thorough, aggressive, and knowledgeable. She knows what she's doing, and she's very professional."
"I find Ms. Peacock to be very professional; ethical, polite, and efficient. I have no doubt that she is a very qualified attorney, and in my cases against Ms. Peacock, she has always been organized, thorough and courteous."
"I was oppposing counsel with Ms. Peacock approximately two years ago. During our case I was impressed with her tough negotiating skills but also her fairness knowledge of the law and dedication to her client. Since my case with Ms. Peacock I have referred matters to her and will continue to so in the future."
