Juliet Peck - Law Office of Lawrence and Peck

I hired Juliet back in August of 2022, to represent me as the victim in a very difficult domestic violence case. I knew I did not wish to seek prosecution in the case and was refusing to testify against my partner in court. To make matters worse my career, reputation and livelihood was at risk. By th...e time I found Juliet I was a complete wreck due to the complicated nature of my case, but after speaking with her during my first consultation I knew she was the one I wanted in my corner. Juliet is direct, competent, professional, and understanding. She let me know from the start that this was going to be a long and difficult case but gave me the confidence and reassurance that I needed to believe I could come out of this with a favorable outcome. After two years of fighting my case we were able to navigate the delicate situation and were able to achive my end goals. I can not thank Juliet and her team enough for all of their hard work, professionalism, and devotion they brought to my case. I would without hesitation, recommend Juliet to anyone who needs an absolutely brilliant, ruthless yet compassionate lawyer. I owe her more than she will ever know, and am so grateful she and her team were in my corner.

Exceptional Legal Representation

I recently had the privilege of being represented by Michael Lawrence and Juliet Peck of the law office of Lawrence and Peck in a challenging legal case, where I faced over 100 felony charges (not a misprint). From the very beginning, Michael and Juliet demonstrated exceptional professionalism and in...telligence. Upon my arrest, they were already present at the jail, coordinating bail even before I was processed. This case extended over two years, and throughout this arduous journey, I witnessed the justice system in action—an often overwhelming experience. However, having Michael and Juliet by my side made all the difference. They were not just attorneys; they were advocates who took my case personally, as if they themselves were on trial. Their commitment to my defense was unwavering, and their ability to navigate and ultimately prevail in such a complex legal matter was nothing short of impressive. They effectively managed to tame and embarrass an overzealous prosecutor, showcasing their unparalleled legal expertise in Monterey County. What stood out the most was the personal touch they brought to my case. They alleviated my stress and constantly reassured me that everything would turn out well in the end. Thanks to their hard work, dedication, and profound knowledge of the legal system, I achieved an excellent outcome. I am forever thankful for their outstanding legal services and wholeheartedly recommend the law office of Lawrence and Peck to anyone in need of top-notch legal representation.

Pulled off a miracle for me!

Juliet Peck and Cynthia Negrete were in charge of my case. Mrs. Peck was very thorough in our intake meeting as it lasted over two hours. She used this to strategize a compelling defense that would address my goal for the case which was to not go to jail. The case was about me getting 3 DUI's and to ...this day they tell me it's very likely 3 out of 5 more cases like this would see jail time. From intake to home base Cynthia worked with me and was very professional and prepared making me feel no anxiety and instilling in me confidence I'd not have any concern I'd go to jail. I would have hands down worked with them if I were in the same place.

Peace of Mind

I was referred to Juliet Peck after being accused of a criminal act. She and her associates immediately put me at ease and walked me through the entire process. They were always in contact with me and kept me informed of what was happening with my case. They investigated and were very proactive. ...They asked the right questions of me and were very thorough in answering all my questions. They gave me the peace of mind I needed since I had never been through anything like this before. Most definitely would recommend.

Misdemeanor charge while on a misdemeanor probation

I was in a complicated, difficult situation. I was scared of what I would have to face if my case wasn’t handled right. I reviewed online The Lawrence and Peck Law Firm and called right away. They listened to my situation and immediately I felt some relief because they organized my thoughts back to ...me in a way that made sense and we started right away. They were extremely organized, proficient, and efficient with their time and mine. They handled everything this way professionally and personally (how I saw things/how I processed information), prioritizing how to work through the situation in a clear step-by-step manner. Everything came together and the charges against me were dismissed!! Cynthia Negrete, working with Juliet Peck, and the entire staff are an iron clad team, that represent whole-heartedly, by the law, for the benefit of their client. I would recommend their services to anyone in need of solid, successful, representation.
