Peridot Family Law LLC

The lawyers at Peridot Family Law are smart, thoughtful, experienced, and professional. They are very careful to do things right, and made themselves available when I needed them. I worked primarily with Shannon Barnes, and Cynthia Runge was there for backup and consultation. Because they know what they are doing, my legal costs were much lower than my ex's even though my ex paid a much lower hourly rate. Highly recommended.

I was recommended to Peridot Family Law with whom I hired Karen McCall to help me and my family with a DCF case. Karen was extremely thorough as well as direct in her approach toward DCF. I cannot express my gratitude enough to Karen in such a detremental moment in mine and my family's life.

Shannon Barnes with Peridot Family Law did a great job walking me through the divorce process and being there every step of the way. Her expertise was evident when it came to the financials -- saving me a possible costly error. I would highly recommend Shannon.

Throughout the process, both Shannon and Cindy provided knowledge, understanding and responsiveness to each situation. Bringing a collaborative mindset and compassion, they worked hard to find solutions and to keep things moving forward when they got stuck. I was glad to have them working with me, and on my behalf.

I have recently worked with Cynthia Runge and her team. After a long-term marriage, divorce is never an easy situation. My initial contact with Peridot had been seeking mediation. Unfortunately, we were unable to get to use mediation services to come to agreement. I found Cindy's team easy to work with and knowledgeable. Cindy was available for conversations on nights and weekends which adapted well with my hectic work schedule. There was a complexity to my financials and timing that took extensive work and time. I found Cindy to be detail oriented and strategic. She was thorough and planned for every contingency always having documents ready. As things came together quickly after delays on the opposing side, Cindy, Shannon and Peter worked quickly and comprehensively to help us get to a fair settlement within days of the court date resulting in approval by the judge without a continuance. The staff at Peridot listened to what I felt that I needed and helped me to get there at a time where I needed someone to work hard for me to get a fair agreement.
