selecting the right attorney is a big decision.....

When I needed the assistacne of an attorney, I did not know where to turn. So I performed a Google search of attorneys in my area. I came across many attorneys , some of whom I recognized their name brand , others I did not. After careful consideration, I contacted Lawrence & Peck and underwent an ...initial telephone consultation with Juliet Peck. Ms. Peck was an excellent listener, and answered all of my questions and concerns. I realize that Doctors and Lawyers will never commit to or guarantee a specific outcome, but I will say that Ms. Peck was confident and well informed and assured me that my case would result in a specific outcome- and she nailed it! I was aware that Ms. Peck was in a principle member in the firm and that most likely , my case would be handled by other members of the legal team. In my case, I had the pleasure of being represented my Ms. Cynthia Negrete, she was fantastic to work with, easy to talk to, smart, professional, well spoken and a great listener. She basically layed out an aging of events that I should expect, including what is covered at each court appearance, she also told me , and I know it's cliche- ' the wheels of justice move slowly". She prepared me for every possible outcome, as a result,- my anxiety level was kept at a minimum. I trusted Ms. Negrete and I felt that we had great attorney - client relationship. My case has now been resolved . If you are in need of legal assistance, you will basically be relinquishing control of your future to someone with a law degree, choose wisely- I would reccomend Lawrence and Peck .

Exceptional

I am writing this review to express my heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for the outstanding legal representation provided during my financial elder abuse case. The personal touch and unwavering support you brought to my case were truly exceptional, and I am immensely grateful for everything you h...ave done for me. Facing a lawsuit from my father for $250,000 was one of the most challenging and stressful experiences of my life. From the very beginning, you alleviated my stress and provided constant reassurance that everything would turn out well. Your profound knowledge of the legal system, combined with your dedication and hard work, played a crucial role in achieving an excellent outcome. Throughout the entire process, you demonstrated exceptional professionalism, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of the complexities involved in my case. Your strategic approach and tireless efforts to defend my rights were instrumental in securing a favorable resolution. Thanks to your expertise, I was able to navigate this difficult situation with confidence and peace of mind. I am forever thankful for your outstanding legal services and the personal care you extended to me during this challenging time. I wholeheartedly recommend the Law Office of Lawrence and Peck to anyone in need of top-notch legal representation. Your commitment to your clients and your ability to deliver exceptional results are truly commendable. I will always be grateful for your dedication and the positive impact you have had on my life.

Great attorney

I had the honor to work with the law office of Lawrence and Peck. I want to start off by thinking the law office of Lawrence and Peck for representing my family in a challenging case. I want to say that the law firm of Lawrence and Peck is the best one in Monterey county.

Their staff is amazing. They get back to you very fast and are very professional with every single matter we had. Once again, thank you everybody in the law firm of Lawrence and Peck.

Thank you for everything!

Couldn’t have asked for a better firm to assist and represent me with my case. Provided guidance, comfort, and set realistic expectations every step of the way. The case went in our favor and I couldn’t have done it without them. Thank you Cynthia for everything that you have done!

Attorney Extraordinaire

Ms. Peck and her team are incredible! They are all very smart, compassionate, and hard working. They are savvy and knowledgeable, and have insight into the Monterey County legal system. They kept us advised of every step of the legal process and discussed their strategies with us. The outcome was m...uch better than what we had dreaded.
