My best intrest first

I’d like to take this opportunity to extend my gratitude to Angela Peacock. Throughout my case Angela always stayed in contact. When I wanted to hide away from the emotionally exhausting endeavor of obtaining a divorce, she handled my case with compassion. Angela is always accessible, knows the law, ...and always looked out for my best interest. She presented the facts to me, gave me time to digest the information, yet allowed me to proceed as I felt best. My case proceeded in a timely manner. The Law office of Angela Peacock was always courteous, and appointments were always on time. Her staff is to also to be commended as they represent h!er and the high standard she sets.

THE BEST. HANDS DOWN.

Angela recently helped our family in a difficult custody case. From the beginning, we felt she was very honest, straight-forward and caring. She explained her expectations for the outcome, she provided us with our different options and strategies, which allowed us to make our own decisions, and she ...was prompt in all of her responses. We are successful professionals, but because we had never been through this process before, we found having Angela on our side with her knowledge of Arizona family law was invaluable. We were very pleased with how our case was handled - she is the one we will always trust and recommend when someone wants the best. Hands down. Hiring her was one of the best moves we ever made.

Highly Recommend!

A few months have passed since the successful resolution of my divorce, but I wanted to take the time to say how grateful I am to you for your excellent work and dedication during the entire process. From our very first meeting, you made me feel comfortable in my decision to hire you to represent me... in this matter. Your confidence, organization, and compassion gave me strength through some very difficult times. One thing that really stood out at me was your calm demeanor. After many meetings, I left feeling empowered to continue and to be strong. You inspired in me my own need to regain control over my situation. I no longer felt victimized by the events leading up to my divorce, but rather saw myself overcoming them. That was an important lesson, not only for me, but for my daughter as well. I also deeply appreciate your honesty and integrity. You were always very clear in your assessment of what needed to be done, in order to be successful in this matter. Your guidance and advice were invaluable, and I thank you! I wish you great success in your professional career. I have, and will continue to recommend and refer you to friends who are looking for an intelligent, articulate, and highly skilled Family Law attorney.

GREAT ADVOCATE/COUNSELOR

Angela was my second divorce attorney; I had to fire the first one. She salvaged my case, got the process on track, and worked hard to settle out of court. She was able to get me to see fairness in a process each party thinks is inherently unfair. She protected me from me, listened to my ranting, ...and then talked me in off the ledge. Her job was a much client management as it was being a lawyer! Regardless, she did an outstanding job and was a great communicator with me and the opposition. I would recommend her to anyone as their first and best choice for representation during a divorce.

Focused, efficient, just what I needed.

I believe I was told I had a "unique" case. My ex-husband and I had agreed to certain terms prior to meeting with our respective attorneys. Ms. Peacock warned me this was atypical and how to be prepared should one side decide to change their mind, which ultimately did happen. More than once. Ms.... Peacock was very accommodating during these transition periods. Ms. Peacock offered suggestions, and advice and kept my well-being in mind when doing so. It is obvious that Ms. Peacock is a very busy woman, yet, I was never made to feel as though I was being put on the back burner. I was able to contact Ms. Peacock by phone or by email without fail. If she was going to be away from the office for a great period of time, I was notified in advance. I greatly appreciated that. I let Ms. Peacock know at our first meeting that I prefer when people are to the point, blunt and state specifically what they mean to say. She did not disappoint. It was refreshing to hear exactly what I needed to hear and not be given what I wanted to hear to skew my focus. In working with Ms. Peacock, I also had the pleasure of working with her Paralegal, Ms. Jackie Dabney. Ms. Dabney could not be more pleasant or work with greater efficiency. It is apparent to me that they work well together and have much respect for one another. They present themselves as a formidable front when needed and are just as comforting and accommodating when they need to be.

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."
