Carol was instrumental in helping my adult son establish paternity and obtain legal rights to his son. She listened to his wants and needs and was able to help him understand all the legal terminology to his level without talking down to him or making him feel dumb. 5 stars and thanks a bunch Carol and TJ for making this difficult process much easier!

I am very particular when it comes to who I do business with, especially when it comes to something as sensitive as the law. I interviewed quite a few attorneys before hiring Carol. I loved that she was down to earth and easy to talk to. She was there for every step of the way and was an excellent communicator. Thank you for your professionalism, guidance, and results!

I used Carol Lee Peake for my divorce. She was open and honest about the process. She took my feedback on the documents to make them suit my situation. Both her and her staff were very responsive and timely with communication and filing of all of the documents with my case. Her prices were very reasonable when compared to other attorneys in the area. I would definitely recommend and would use her in the case that I would need other services.

— H. Bova, 2/8/2024

I would highly recommend Carol and her team.

Divorce and the laws that govern it often are not fair or what I would describe as balanced. Her experience helped me navigate the divorce process. She prepared me for what would happen step by step and was there to answer all my questions.

The service of Carol Lee Peake Law Office is excellent. When I called her office, she personally picked up the phone and gave me a free consultation right to the point of what problem was and how to solve it. The proceeding of the legal issue was smooth with ease. She made the court procedures simple, straight forward, and less time. Her legal assistant is great - very knowledgeable, efficient, and effective. Even more, her professional fee is fair and affordable. I will strongly recommend her to all my friends in Jacksonville and Ormond Beach or anyone who need legal advice in the area of family law. A small office but its quality is BIG! and second to none!

— P. Tayapongsak, 12/01/2023

Carol has been very professional to work both times I have needed assistance. The first time I used her service she was very thorough in explaining all the steps that would entail the process. The second time, which is most recent, I contacted her because of the ease and professionalism she showed me from prior time and this time exceeded my expectations as well. She is easy to get in touch with when needed and very attention to detail for her clients. I highly recommend using her services for any of your needs that a great lawyer can accommodate.

Not even sure where to begin…

I was blind sided one day with with my daughter being moved over 2 hours away from the area her and I called home. Overwhelming feelings of hopelessness and anxiety consumed me as I called attorney after attorney. None of which felt like they took any interest in my cries as a father in which the “law” seemed completely against me. A blatant and malicious abuse of power supported by a government that views fathers as 2nd class parents made me feel extremely trapped and that my only option was to surrender to the demands of the opposing party. One morning as I was sorting through the mail, I came across a marketing letter from Carols office . Tired of calling attorneys I nearly through it out…. Thankfully something (God, universe) told me to call.

From the moment we began talking, Carol made me feel heard, validated, and supported. By the end of our initial consultation I knew she was the person for my case. Carol and her assistant TJ couldn’t have formed a better team to help establish an outcome that couldn’t have been better for the life of my daughter. While the journey was very trying at times, I knew they wouldn’t stop fighting until a fair and just outcome was met. Carol and TJ became the light I needed to see through the one of the darkest times in my life. I now get to spend so much time with my daughter worry free that I will never be viewed less than her Dad. I couldn’t be more grateful for Carol and TJ. If you need a team, that will fight not only for you, but for what’s best for your children… look no further.

Thank you

— Laked9199, 8/20/2023

Very easy to talk to and exceptionally quick to get the job done. I couldn't have asked for a better experience during an emotional time in my life. I highly recommend Carole and her staff to anyone looking for quick and compassionate results.

What I was most impressed by though was their unwavering commitment to my daughter's well-being. They always displayed a genuine concern for her best interests, understanding the importance of maintaining a stable and loving environment. Carol’s ability to articulate to the courts the things that were most important for my daughters continued growth and development was instrumental in presenting a compelling case for custody.

When the day of the court hearing arrived, Carol demonstrated her exceptional courtroom skills. Her poise, confidence, and articulate arguments were truly impressive, leaving a lasting impact on the judge and opposing counsel. Thanks to the duo’s teamwork and expertise, we achieved a favorable outcome, securing custody of my daughter and ensuring she would have every opportunity to become successful in life!

I wholeheartedly recommend Carol Peake to anyone seeking a family law attorney. Her commitment, legal prowess, and compassionate, but tough love approach truly sets her apart.

I’ve been extremely satisfied with my services from Carol and her assistant TJ. They are kind and helpful and always respond to any questions I have had, very promptly. Carol has been wonderful to work with and is very caring and informative. I am so happy that I found her. Her prices are completely reasonable and speaking with her has always been great. She is so down to earth and actually listens to your concerns and lets you speak. Many of the other attorneys in this area that I spoke with prior to hiring Carol, were very short and not there to listen or very personable. If I could give more stars, I would. If you’re looking for an attorney for family law, please don’t hesitate to give her a call. She is wonderful. Thank you so much!!

Update: a few months ago we finally got through mediation, etc. and a final conclusion with my case. I got everything that I was asking for and even a little better than expected. Carol and her team are so kind and it was a pleasure working with them! If I needed any legal advice or help in the future she would be my first call. She is awesome at what she does and I would recommend her for any of your family law concerns!!

Carol Peake is one of the hardest working and honest lawyers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She went way above the call of duty and put my own needs above her own. Smart, honest, hard working and a true advocate for those she represents. I would & do recommend her to any one in need of her professional service.

— Dangerous Bliss

Where do I start? I could simply say that the Law Office of Carol Lee Peake is the BEST. However, that is not enough. From my very first contact with Carol and throughout the entire process of my divorce I felt at ease. I never once questioned my decision to hire Carol to represent me. She did not sugar coat anything nor did she make promises just to get me in the door. She took the time to educate me on how divorce law works in Florida. Carol and TJ (legal assistant) were there for me every step of the way. So many people say that divorce is so stressful. Carol and TJ take the stress out of it I was never rushed through phone calls, my emails were returned in a timely matter, and whenever they had information to pass along to me such as correspondence from the opposing side or court filings, they informed me promptly. I was never left in the dark. I always felt as if I was their number one priority. If you want an attorney that is extremely knowledgeable, hardworking, genuine, and warm hearted, with the highest level of integrity, then the Law Office of Carol Lee Peake is who you want on your side.

Carol and TJ, thank you for everything you did for me. You truly had my best interest at heart!

— Posted by Dianne W., June 20, 2023

The Law Office of Carole Lee Peake are amazing. I'm definitely satisfied with the service they provided and the outcome to my case. I highly recommend them.

Posted by Henry G, June 12, 2023

I'll just say getting a divorce is like a death in the family and Carol was so helpful during a terrible time in my life. Things were not too messy, but she made all the right choices for me and made my situation manageable. Highly recommend, she pays attention to details and really knows her stuff and how to the make the system work without confusing information I didn't need, she was very clear on expectations. Positive outcome in the end, right attorney, right results.

I had one consultation with a different lawyer and was very unimpressed. Then someone mentioned Carol Peake and I went to a consultation with her. Immediately I knew I had the right person, very personable, very knowledgeable and actually seemed to be interested in the details of the case and not just going thru the motions. Communication was always good with her when it came to court time she blew me away with her prowess at navigating the system. I would have been lost without such great representation. Working with her was effortless and I truly appreciate the expertise she brought to the table but also the approachable and friendly manner in which she interacts with clients. You never get the feeling that she doesn't care, and that is important. If I ever need legal counsel in the future, Carol is my only choice.

Attorney Carol Peake is top notch; thorough, intelligent, courteous, informative, experienced and conscientious. Even though I grew up in the legal field, family law is an entirely unique (and sometimes illogical) animal. Emotions run high and children's futures are at stake. It can make you feel like David fighting Goliath. I can honestly say I wouldn't chose any other warrior for my arena. In addition to the description above, I would add patient and brave. She is the real deal. All the qualities you want and need in a Family Law attorney to help you navigate through an unfamiliar, potentially treacherous journey. I will continue to recommend her services to anyone I encounter in need of such. Eternally grateful. SA in Ormond

Carol did an amazing job representing me during my divorce. Carol was efficient, knowledgeable and organized. Carol was a great support to me and always gave it to me straight. Carol was available to speak to me directly. I previously had a different female attorney handling my case, whom I could never speak to and she kept putting off my case and did nothing at all in 8 months. Carol picked up my case and had my divorce settled in a matter of weeks. I highly recommend Carol Peake to assist you with your family legal problems. Thank you Carol for all you did for me!!

— Posted by Janet, July 11th, 2018 21:23

Carol Lee Peake is an AMAZING attorney. She took the time to explain every facet of my case to me in detail. The support provided by her administrative staff is second to none. Thanks TJ!! My past experience with legal representation really left me with this negative vibe about lawyers and how I always felt as if I was just another dollar sign in their bank account. It always seemed as if other representation would do anything to drag out cases with continuances and cause me to literally drain my savings account. This is not the case with the Law Office of Carol Lee Peake. Her team goes above and beyond what you would normally expect from a traditional law firm. Professionalism, excellent customer service, putting clients first, and an 11 year slam dunk history in family law really put this attorney at the top of my list! If you’re looking at this review and wondering if you should call, wonder no more, she is one of the BEST in the county that won’t break the bank.

— Posted by Chad, May 18th, 2015 08:11

My husband and I spoke to numerous lawyers, not feeling comfortable with any of them. I didn't want to feel like "another client" or that I was just another "paycheck." I wanted to feel like I was the only client they had, even if I wasn't. I wanted to feel like the lawyer cared about my case, not just the paycheck they were getting from me. Carol is a wonderful lawyer. She instantly made my husband and me feel more comfortable with our concerns. She was readily available through email or phone calls to listen to me and offer her insight. She never promised me something that she knew she couldn't legally back up. I liked that I knew I wasn't being dragged along for more money. Carol was very personable yet professional. Would rehire in a heartbeat!

— Posted by Angela, April 4th, 2015 10:33

Carol was direct, helpful, explained all information in a direct and informative manner. Carol did what she said she would do and helped us tremendously through a legal process. I'd recommend her to anyone in the area.

— Posted by a client, June 27th, 2019 20:22

I have hired several attorneys in the past and nobody was able to do what Carol did in just two visits in front of the judge. She is articulate well prepared and extremely organized. Well worth her time. I highly recommend her.

— Posted by a Family client, August 26th, 2014 18:55

I hired Ms. Peake for my divorce case. She was very professional, personable and friendly. After my initial consultation with Carol and increasingly thereafter, I felt a level of trust not only in her abilities to represent me well, but also renewed hope in a perceivably questionable judicial system.

— Posted by a Divorce client, August 19th, 2014 07:56

Very hard to find any one that cares about your case, more than Carol. She worked with me on family child custody support issues. She represented me in court and fought hard for what was right and just for my children. She put more time and energy into my case than many before her. She goes above and beyond the call of duty. And I am happy to say we won my case in court on every level! Very satisfied .... and would highly recommend her.

— Posted by Brian Madsen, a Child Custody client, August 13th, 2014 18:38

She was always quick to respond when she could. She kept me up to date as things went on. Always very prepared. She is very knowledgable and great to work with. She went above and beyond in my eyes. I highly recommend her to anyone who especially needs a great divorce lawyer!

Carol did a wonderful job. She is very knowledgeable in all aspects of family law and is deeply compassionate and understanding. She truly cares about her clients. Carol handles herself with the utmost professionalism, even in some of the most challenging situations. If she is handling your divorce matter, know that you are in good hands. She did a wonderful job with my financial settlement negotiations along with dealing extremely well with a challenging opposing attorney. Thank you Carol for putting me at ease and for making a challenging and emotional situation run smoothly.

— Posted by Tom, a Divorce client, August 31st, 2012 06:41

Carol is the epitome of what a family lawyer should be...knowledgeable, caring, and always available. Prior to finding her, I had visited several attorneys to handle my divorce. I came away from my appointments with them discouraged and overwhelmed. They were oftentimes condescending and cold. I was so relieved to find Carol. She made a difficult time in my life much easier to bear. Thanks so her expertise, I was able to move through that time and get on with my life.

— Posted by a Divorce client, September 9th, 2011 08:35

Carol is kind, compassionate, and truly cares about the family or persons she is representing. She seems to be well organized and understanding of the system. She listens, but is not afraid to tell you what you need to do in order to accomplish the task you ask her to perform. I feel she cares about her clients and the family as a whole. She will tell you how it works, what you need to do, but also listen to your apprehensions and tell you how she feels you need to handle events in order to achieve your goal. I was, and am, totally satisfied with the services rendered and would recommend her to anyone, especially parents, or parent, that have/has been through the ringer. If anyone would ask me if I would use her again, or recommend her to another, the answer is yes.

— Posted by jennifer justis, a Child Custody client, April 18th, 2010 19:29

I've entrusted Mrs. Peake with numerous legal issues over the years, and each was met with complete professionalism and timely results. I'd highly recommend Mrs. Peake on any legal issue.

I had a superb experience with Ms. Peake getting me through a bitter divorce and child custody case. I instantly found her knowledgeable and compassionate. She gave it to me straight and protected me at every turn. Couldn't be more happy with the results.

I found Carol by doing some on line research. I went to meet her to handle my divorce, I found her to be very warm and welcoming so I hired her. Carol was very up front with me and gave me the hard facts of what I would be facing and made me feel very confident in her abilities to make sure my interests were protected. Carol was always there when I needed her and handled my case very effectively. In the end I got a much better deal than we expected and we were under budget. I would highly recommend Carol and her firm. There is no fluff here just honest hard working people that do a great job.

— Brian Madsen

Carol will be honest, tell you like it is, and is knowledgeable, she will do all she can for you as a client, in my experience.

— Stephen Marinella

Best family lawyer I have ever encountered. With Ms. Peake you will get straight forward answers no run-a-round or beating around the bush. She helped my son and me get visitation and communication with his son. Just when we were at our wits end she helped us. She will give you the best advice for your case and what will work. Thank you Carol!

I had the pleasure of having Carol Peake as my attorney in my family court matter. She is knowledgeable, professional and straightforward.

Carol Peake is the hardest working attorney I have ever dealt with. Whatever it takes, whatever needs to be done she is there. Her assistant TJ is very responsive, quick to call back or email and very knowledgeable. This firm is incredible and I highly recommend. I give 10 stars.
