Firecracker Lawyer!

Audra is an ethical attorney who is sharp and keeps opposing counsel in line. The judge in our case respected what she had to say because she knew what she was talking about, set the stage in her opening statement and kept her case on point. I call her my firecracker attorney, because she is young an...d doesn't take BS from opposing counsel. My husband was trying to set aside our marital settlement agreement and had an attorney who kept misrepresenting the facts and she kept him in line. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an ethical attorney.”,

Very Knowledgeable

I met Mrs. Peddicord at a pro bono clinic because my son's father was trying to reduce his child support, claiming he was unemployed. I knew he had a history of hiding his financial information from the office of child support, when he had his own law practice. Mrs. Peddicord went through all of his ...bank records and employment situations, and filed numerous motions against him. Upon litigating the case, the judge not only denied his request to reduce his child support, but he tripled my ex's child support, found him in contempt, and awarded Mrs. Peddicord for attorney fees. I don't think I could have gotten this result without Mrs. Peddicord's help and advocacy. Mrs. Peddicord is very knowledgeable in the legal system concerning my case and she conducted extreme research to ensure the case was clearly prosecuted.

Unknown lawyer | May 11

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Audra is a thoughtful and smart attorney. She is equally adept at negotiating a mutually advantageous resolution as she is ready to take the matter to litigation if necessary. In the matter where I was Audra's opposing counsel, she was assertive yet unfailingly polite. Recognizing the contentious nature of the messy custody and divorce battle in which our clients were embroiled, she helped whittle down the case to its last disputed components, as a result of which the custody matter settled. Having seen Audra in action, I refer clients to her on regular basis."
