"Ms. Peck has been representing my husband in his custody case for over 7 years. We have a very complicated case that she handled extremely well. When we first started working with Jessica our case was in the appeals court that was then remanded back to the court. Jessica built a very strong case against opposing party! And now my husband and I have full custody of his three children. We have recommended both friends and family who have also had great turnouts on there cases. We will continue to use Ms. Peck for any of our legal matters."

Frequently Asked Family Law Questions
We understand lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.
How fast can I get a protection order?
Courts can issue a temporary order the same day a sworn complaint is filed. A permanent-order hearing is usually set within about two weeks. We draft, file, and prep you for testimony.
What qualifies as an “emergency” for custody?
Recent endangerment—violence, credible threats, severe impairment, or child safety concerns—can justify ex parte restrictions. A prompt hearing follows. We file targeted motions and bring focused evidence.
Will DHS/CPS take my child?
Removal is a last resort. Early legal help, a workable safety plan, and documented supports can avoid or shorten out-of-home placement. If a case is filed, we appear at the 72-hour hearing and advocate for services and parenting time.
I’m dealing with addiction or a mental-health crisis. Can you still help?
Yes. Courts want safety + progress. We connect you to detox/treatment, set UA/Soberlink, gather releases, and bring structured updates that judges and caseworkers accept.
Do I have to talk to the other party during a no-contact order?
No. We set safe communication channels—lawyer-to-lawyer, monitored apps, or third-party exchanges—and adjust the parenting plan to match the order.
What should I save as evidence?
Keep screenshots, call logs, photos, medical records, and school incident notes. Don’t edit or annotate originals. We organize exhibits and subpoena what you can’t access.
Can the school help with safety?
Yes. We send clear letters for pick-up restrictions, no-contact, and exchange rules. We also coordinate with IEP/504 teams when disability or behavior plans are part of safety.
How much will this cost?
Urgent matters start with a retainer. We prioritize the filings that protect you now, then plan cost-effective next steps (mediation, treatment updates, or a limited hearing).
