CANDACE B. PEEPLES
HELPING INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES GET TO THE OTHER SIDE OF DIVORCE Candi Peeples formed PEEPLES LAW as a boutique-styled practice, limited to Matrimonial and Family Law, because helping families with these difficult issues is what she loves. “We could be practicing other types of law, but we do this because we love it. With us, it’s not a slogan—it’s just the truth,” Candi tells us. A core belief within the firm is that every case has the potential to settle out of court. “We make it a priority to exhaust all reasonable options for settlement, but we are both absolutely ready for trial when that is what is best for our clients,” Candi says. “While a trial may be difficult for a client, we love to try cases—for us, it is one of the most fulfilling parts of our job; we see all the pieces of our team’s hard work come together.” Candi receives high praise from clients for her commitment to Matrimonial and Family Law and she is proud to be of service to the community. Candi says, “We feel that by keeping in mind that we are here to be of service to our clients, we can deliver our very best for them.” The AV-rated firm is proud to boast that they have been featured in distinguished publications, such as Vanity Fair, for their excellence in Family Law. Candi is a graduate of The University of Georgia and the Cumberland School of Law, with honors. She is a certified domestic and appellate mediator, and is the publisher of the Birmingham Matrimonial and Family Law Newsletter. She has been named in the 2016 “Best of Birmingham” list by Birmingham Magazine, and named by the Birmingham Business Journal as one of the “Top 40 Under 40.” She has consistently been named a Top Lawyer by B-Metro magazine. She is also a fellow in the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) and a Certified Family Law Trial Advocate by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. Candi is married to Lloyd Peeples and lives in Vestavia with their two children, Lily and Chandler.
