Exactly the lawyer I was looking for

In 2018 my husband of 30 years and I were going through a rough patch and I made the decision to obtain a divorce. I spoke with friends and checked information on line looking for a good lawyer. Quickly the same name continued to come up and that name was Angela Peacock in Chandler. I made an appoint...ment and after our first meeting was convinced that I had made the right choice. Ms. Peacock quickly became very knowledgeable about our circumstances and acted appropriately. I immediately hired her and was very happy with how quickly our divorce was worked out. Ms. Peacock attended court appearances with me and was able to let me know what to expect. I wanted people to know that Ms. Peacock is a very good lawyer who always got back to me right away, cant say enough about her knowledge of the law and how easy she is to work with.

Great Attorney!

I have worked with Angela as my attorney for over two (2) years, and I am very impressed with her skill, kindness and responsiveness. She is excellent in the courtroom, and the judge agreed with 100% of our positions, and even ordered the other side to pay a portion of my attorneys fees. Angela is... a pleasure to work with, she was able to guide me in the right direction in my case, and I felt she had my best interests at heart. I cannot say enough good things. I am really glad I found her when I needed her! Thank you, Angela.

I wish I would have found Angela Peacock sooner!

I wish I would have found Angela Peacock sooner! Her knowledge of family law was beyond my expectations as well as her professionalism. She was very adept and punctual at responding to phone calls and emails. She even went out of her way responding on weekends and afterhours to ensure I received t...he answers to my questions and confirmed I understood everything. When meeting on phone calls or in person, she was great on staying on task and keeping track of items that needed to be addressed during the meeting. She provided great feedback regarding items that she had run into in the past with other cases and provided her expert opinion on how she believed things could go, which in some cases was not in our favor. If I was not familiar, or did not understand what was occurring during the case, she made sure that I was well informed of my rights and understood what the consequences were. Before any communication was sent out, she was sure to get my approval prior to it becoming legally binding. I highly recommend Angela Peacock for any child custody or family law issues. Her experience of family law is hard to surpass and her humanity is beyond appreciated during those hard times. Prior to hiring Angela, I was being represented by another who had none of the qualities mentioned above and gravely paid for it. If you decide to hire a different attorney, I strongly suggest you do your homework first.

The best!

May 11, 2018 RE: Angela Peacock, Esq. Certified Specialist in Family Law Dear perspective client, Angela Peacock worked on my extremely complex family law case for over two years. During that time Angela and her team responded, without delay, to the steady stream of requests that came from ...court officials, court appointed counselors, the Department of Child Services, opposing counsel, or me. She was always organized, prepared, and up to speed with the complex and expanding details of my case. Angela developed a clear strategy and communicated it to me completely with thoughtfulness and compassion. Her knowledge, skill, preparedness, and strength were consistently comforting during a very stressful time. She always took as much time as necessary to explain how Arizona’s family law fit into my situation, ensuring I fully understood, and was comfortable with our course of action. Angela was instantly ready to implement our strategy and defend me, while simultaneously keeping me calm and focused on our goal. It is with pleasure, I give Angela Peacock and her team my highest recommendation. If you need a family law expert, whose passion and power are always poised and ready to defend you look no further! Sincerely, Shaun

Quite simply the best attorney you could hire

Angela’s knowledge of family law is second-to-none and we experienced this from the moment we had our introductory meeting, based on her understanding of our situation once explained, through to the day we had our successful final outcome. She asked pointed questions, pointed out the flaws in our cas...e we would have to address and offered possible paths we would take to remedy depending on the respondents actions from the outset. Angela continued to steer us in the right direction all through the case and was effective, clear and concise in her filings and petitions. If you expect to hire a top professional with exhaustive knowledge of the law, Angela provides that in abundance. Once satisfied with her knowledge, it was also very important to us that Angela had a caring character and would act in a way consistent with how we view the world. It’s easy to find an aggressive attorney but much harder to find a compassionate attorney that is assertive and steely to back-up their knowledge when needed. Angela has these qualities in abundance. She handled our cares and concerns directly and clearly and was patient with our long list of ‘what if’ questions, always replying in a timely manner and offering to meet whenever we needed by whatever method suited us. She does expect you to do the work with her, but if you’re interested in a successful outcome and you are smart, then you’ll follow her advice as she knows her business. She also does this in a way that allowed us to save money, as she gave us lots of homework that allowed us to keep our costs down when she could of easily had her office do the work and just billed us for the hours. Angela outlined our case from the very beginning in a very matter-of-fact way and continued that approach throughout our case. I have to emphasize that this was critical as we were quite emotional over this case. We needed somebody with clarity and vision that would not get wrapped up in our emotion. Too many people sympathize vs. strategize. When you hire an attorney for a family law case, you need your attorney to do the latter and strategize and that is what Angela provides. She focuses on the law, the strategy, the process, the requirements and the step-by-step approach needed to walk through the case and this helps ease the emotional stress. This was not a one-time thing. As you move through a case like this, things come up that are emotional and have to be dealt with and Angela was there every step of the way each time a situation came up to help explain and calm us. Angela also gave us input forcing us to think about future issues that may arise that had not previously considered and should provide safeguards against. This was not something that she was going to get paid for or credit for in the future, but it was another example of her diligent and professional attitude in providing us that outlook. We now have some solid plans in place for dealing with situations that may arise because of Angela’s advice. I would recommend Angela to anybody looking to fight a family law case. Her knowledge, approach, belief in what is right and work ethic are excellent and I believe in any case against another attorney Angela would prove the be the most prepared, most knowledgeable and frankly the most caring about what the outcome would be. Angela brings a ‘partnership’ to your case that every client hopes for from an attorney and we could not of asked for a better advocate. Thank you Angela, always. D and S.

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."
