I’ve unfortunately had Judge Peake preside over my case since 2019, and after six years, I can confidently say she is the least competent judge I’ve ever encountered. My divorce dragged on for over four years, and due to her unclear and inconsistent orders, we’re now back in court for a modification.She frequently dismisses motions based on inaccurate or misleading information and doesn't even take the time to review her own docket. We've shown up to court multiple times, incurring significant costs, only for her to ignore our motions and rule on unrelated issues instead. Judge Peake is biased, dismissive, and often downright disrespectful. She has dismissed serious abuse claims with little to no consideration, and makes insensitive comments that undermine the very people and families she's sworn to protect. Her approach seems to be to give one parent full custody, often disregarding the child’s best interests and refusing to consider co-parenting solutions. How is that acceptable? Her slogan claims to review cases timely and bring fairness to families, but in practice, it’s the exact opposite. And I know I’m not alone. There are so many families being failed by her, and it’s time to speak up. A judge like this should not be on the bench. She’s abusing her power and causing real harm to families in the process. We need to make sure our voices are heard and our votes count. She has no place in the courtroom—she needs to be removed from a position where she can continue to wreck havoc on people’s lives.

Very Bias Doesn’t Have The Love of God In Her Heart Very Contentious. And Will Reward The Wicked Right In Front Of Your Face. Disregards Evidence Unprepared To Work Laugh At Alligation That Could A Harmful To Children. Very Ignorant Operate Out Of Devaluation. Can’t look you in the eye because she knows she wrong. Very nonchalant concerning domestic violence. Very manipulative emotionally abusive mentally abusive and financially abusive. Use anointing oil fast and pray a let God deal with her.

Judge Sandra Peake in the 257th court has a rocket docket where any litigant with a 10 minute or less issue can login to her zoom court to have an issue addressed. I logged into the rocket docket, had my issue resolved and Judge Peake and her staff were very patient and courteous.

She is a laxy, cunning individual who receives a government salary but fails to hear the case before delivering a verdict. I would prefer a jury over her. She speaks in a manner that lacks credibility, so it is important to make an informed decision before electing her.

Ms. Peake failed to to review any of my materials I summitted to the court. She refused various witnesses to testify after they were sworn in and rejected most of my testimony. In the end I felt unheard and taken advantage of. She minimized every aspect of my case and seemed like she was defending the other side from the very beginning. It also took her almost two years to hear my case which put my family in one unpredictable situation after the other. She appeared to be burdened during the duration of trial and put little effort, if any, in understanding the complexity of my matter. I did not find her to be professional nor effective. At one point she decided she could not bothered anymore and hung up on on everyone during a long awaited zoom trial. She also made crude remarks and demanded an apology from the respondent's team. People in her position have a profound duty to serve their community and ensure they come to a proper conclusion as they ultimately have the power to decide on peoples lives and freedoms and in my honest opinion she is not doing her due diligence. She was impartial throughout and it seemed as though she had her mind made up before I even spoke a word.

Treated case like a conveyor belt and ruled based on personal bias or laziness, as though she didn't even hear or read anything. Constantly talked over my attorney and treated her rudely while showing clear favoritism to other side's attorney who was not following rules and constantly overruled our objections "because (other side) was really trying" to answer, while shutting me down for everything/granting everything for opposing counsel. Cut off for a break in the middle of my testimony and then threatened my lawyer if I refused to agree to what she wanted to change she would award attorney fees to the other side. Had tons of evidence admitted on my side, nothing on other side, and she decided to force a change that is harmful to my kids because she had already made up her mind before the case was presented. She seemed to have a problem with me even though I barely got a chance to talk and had evidence to back up everything I was arguing. Got the strong impression it was my gender or appearance that formed her ruling.

This lawyer was very unorganized and on multiple occasions she continued court without consulting me. She seemed to be very involved in our initial consult but once she was retained, she did not return my phone calls and would not update me on my case. Many times I had to log on to the Court portal in order to see the status of my case. There were also a few occasions where I felt she was prejudiced as she made very inappropriate comments about my ex-wife's attorney. I felt like she was targeting people in the courtroom and would become frustrated and would lose her patience, making us look bad in front of the Judge.

Mrs. Peake did an outstanding job. Going through a divorce is already hard, but having someone that knows what to do and is fighting for you every step of the way is a relief. She is highly experienced.

Attorney Sandra Peake was referred to me by a friend who has used her services, and I could not have been happier. Attorney Peake kept me informed throughout the legal process. She is highly astute in the courtroom. Her litigation skills are impeccable - some of the best I have ever seen (able to seamlessly rebut the inaccuracies of opposing attorney). I have hired Ms. Peake repeatedly throughout the years, and would do it again without fail. She comes highly recommended.

I thought that I could probate my mother's will my self. That was an incorrect thought. I met Mrs. Peake in the court house and asked her if she was an attorney. We met in her office later that day. I explained to her what needed to be done and it was. Whenever I called her she answered the phone with the directions that I needed. Even when there was an out of state issue It was handled. One of the things that I appreciated is the timeliness in which all maters were handled. Sandra Peake explained the process step by step. No concern of my was too small or frivolous for her to attend to. I would hire her again if the need arises.

Sandra was very skillful and methodical in handling my case. She guided me all the way through from the first point of contact all the way through Mediation, Proofs of grounds for Divorce, Court Hearings (reminding me of the implications of every step that I took and instructions given) and to the Final Judgement. She is awesome and committed to her client. I am more than satisfied with the services that she provided me and I will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing her expertise.
