IN THE BEGINNING

Continuing A Long Family Tradition of Practicing Law in Cincinnati Ohio

Attorney Peck began practicing law in Butler County Ohio in 2005.  A lifelong resident of the Cincinnati, Ohio area, attorney Peck graduated from St. Xavier High School before attending Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Coming from a long line of attorneys and judges, Attorney Peck continued his education at the Ohio Northern University College of Law, from which he graduated in 2004.


Upon passing the bar exam, Attorney Peck began practicing as a criminal defense lawyer employed by a highly esteemed West Chester Law Office founded and operated by his Uncle and Cousin.


Becoming a member of the Cincinnati legal community, Attorney Peck joined a number of past, and at the time present, family members in the practice of law.  Among them:


John Weld Peck (February 5, 1874 – August 10, 1937) was a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.


John Weld Peck II (June 23, 1913 – September 7, 1993) was a United States circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and previously was a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.  Prior to his Federal Judicial career, Peck served on the Supreme Court of Ohio and at the time of his death, was the only living Judge in the United States to have served on both the trial and appellate courts in both the state and federal levels. In 1984, the federal office building in Cincinnati was named for Peck. At that time, Peck was one of only two living Americans to have a federal building named after him.


Hiram D. Peck, was a judge of the old Superior Court of Cincinnati and a member of the Ohio Constitution Convention of 1912

Family Law Client - 2019

 

"Best attorney in Hamilton hands down. Family oriented, understands clients, very trust worthy-you can trust this lawyer to do what you need him to do the best representation in the court room. This attorney you can explain your much needed representation. I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and was treated very professionally/no judgement rather than a number, I was in situations that Ched Peck knew my intentions without speaking to me and still did what my case needed for my representation. He always remembers text/emails. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm or attorney. Thanks!!!"

  Divorce and Criminal Defense Client - 2013-2019



"I highly recommend Ched Peck to anybody who is in need of a great lawyer! My daughter is a young single mother of 2 who was getting ready to go through a very scary time in her life. Ched was truthful with her and never sugar coated anything! Ched listened to her concerns and fears and walked her through each of them! He agreed to take my daughter's case, knowing we'd have to make some kind of payment arrangements, with that being said, in doing research of finding a lawyer that's not a common thing! Ched Peck is a good man & lawyer, I'm very thankful he was part of my daughter's journey! Forever gratefulšŸ˜Š"
