Was not the support I was expecting

After reading through some of the other reviews, I wish that I had had the same positive experience they did. I was in a time crunch and she was recommended through a friend of mine that works in the court system. I never felt as though she was on my side or fought for me and my child. I was going... through a very intense and scary custody battle, and I never felt supported or reassured. I honestly dreaded the days when I had a meeting with her. It was extremely difficult to be vulnerable and tell someone, whom I did not know, about all the "bad choices or decisions" that I had made in the past. Unfortunately, after that discussion, her demeanor toward me was completely different in a negative sense. She came across as demeaning and condescending whenever we spoke. There was one time in a meeting that I was having a difficult time remembering something, and she told me that she never forgets anything. I felt that comment was very unnecessary. What upset me the most is that she would give me examples of other cases that would go against my case. I was confused as to why she was not doing the opposite and finding cases that would help support mine. I felt cheated after all the money I spent. It was definitely not worth it. If I had the opportunity to do it all over again, I would not retain her services.

I am saddened to hear you were unhappy with my representation. I pride myself on advising my clients on what can be reasonably expected during the process instead of making false promises. In your case, I was happy we were able to convince the Court you should retain sole legal decision-making and continue to be the primary parent. Unfortunately, as I explained, there was some risk that the grandparents would get some visitation based on recent changes to the case law. However, we ask that you please call the office at (480) 207-5923 so we can address your concerns and hopefully resolve them. Thank you.

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."

"I was oppposing counsel with Ms. Peacock approximately two years ago.
