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.

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.

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.

Ms. Peck was absolutely wonderful during a time in my life when the circumstances were anything but wonderful. In fact, it’s taken me well over a year to write this for her because my case was particularly daunting and emotionally difficult. Even so, I’ve been meaning to put into words just how thankful I am to her for her incredibly thorough, and passionate, work on my case. I came to her with a very complex situation, involving serious terms, that took nearly a year and a half to dissolve. During that period she not only believed in me, but really fought for me and for my justice. She is altogether prepared, resourceful, and well-respected in the courtroom. I can tell you that you will feel a great deal better with her on your team. Lastly, but certainly not least, I am Christian and I know that God Himself placed her in my life, so that we would not fail. Thank you again, Ms. Peck

Mrs. Juliet and her team were respectful, not judgemental, and always professional. Since day one, they made me feel that everything was going to be okay, and that could go on with life during the process. Mrs. Cynthia always answered my calls when times of uncertainty delivering educated advise, and Mr. Bernie always attentive with excellent customer service. I strongly recommend this excellent team.

I want to express how overwhelmed with gratitude I am for Juliet Peck and her team for taking such good care of our family during the most stressful time of our lives. She came highly recommended to us by an attorney friend of ours because our previous lawyer was not doing a very thorough job, and we were losing ground quickly. Ms. Peck and her team were extremely thorough and hands-on, leaving no stone unturned in preparing our case for trial. I can honestly say that Juliet goes above and beyond in taking excellent care of her clients. She invested her heart and energy in the wellbeing of her client, making sure he felt safe and secure. In the end, we didn’t end up going to trial because before the trial date, all charges were dropped!!! (Thank you, Jesus!!!) Ms. Peck is truly gifted at what she does. Her talent and skills are way above par. Juliet Peck, you are forever in my heart and prayers. Thank you for all you did for us, and for securing a successful outcome.

Juliet Peck conducted herself in a very professional manner throughout our engagement. She thoroughly reviewed the facts of the case, asked probing and relevant questions, and quickly absorbed the essence of the case. she then determined the best way to proceed and never missed an opportunity to question the prosecution or offer reasonable alternatives to the "assumed" facts.

With my first run in with the law, i was scared, nervous, and extremely confused. After speaking with numerous firms, I was recommended to Juliet's firm by a close friend, and after speaking with her, it was obvious she was the best person for the job. I hung up the phone with all my questions answered and feeling confident that there was a way out of the situation I had gotten myself into. Throughout the process, I was constantly kept in the loop, given homework, and was represented incredibly well. She was able to negotiate a dismissal during the pretrial conference, which was the absolute BEST possible outcome. I am so grateful to have maintained a clean record, and cannot express how pleased I am with the representation I was given by Juliet and her firm.

Daily I thank my lucky stars I chose Juliet and her team. She, Bernie and Cynthia were extremely kind, sensitive and empathetic during a very difficult time in my life. Juliet helped me towards a positive outcome I never imagined would be possible and was by my side every step of the day. She was always upfront and honest about the process the entire time and was genuinely concerned for my well being throughout. I can not recommend her and her team enough.

Juliet was compassionate and responsive to my needs. She and Bernie worked with me and at no time did I feel I was not in very capable hands. The case was settled out of court in my favor.
