2019 Peck Law Firm Scholarship Winner

August 22, 2019 By Leave a Comment

We are honored to announce the winner of our fourth annual Peck Law Firm Scholarship. Four years ago, our divorce law firm decided to sponsor a yearly scholarship to help assist exemplary students pay for their college education. We recognize that college tuition has continued to grow significantly in the past decade — and we expect the scholarships we award to help offset these costs.

For our 2019 contest, we asked our applicants to respond to the following essay question: “Should judges start child custody cases with a presumption that fathers and mothers should have equal time with their children after a divorce?”

We received over 500 applications this year, which is more than the previous three years combined! We read through each of the essays and chose the winner based on the merit of their writing. We did not consider their gender, race, age, place where they live, or where they plan to attend school. After countless hours of consideration, we found the one essay that stood out from the rest.

The writer of that essay — and winner of the 2019 Peck Law Firm Scholarship — is Gavin Sziber. We are paying $2,000 toward his school expenses this year.


Gavin just turned 18 years old and lives in Alliance, Ohio. He graduated from Ohio Virtual Academy earlier this year, which is an online charter public school.

Gavin has been attending Stark State College in Canton, Ohio for the past five years through College Credit Plus (CCP) as a dual-enrolled high school and college student. His goal is to graduate from college without any debt. So far, he has been able to complete 60 credit hours with no cost to him or his family. He currently has two semesters remaining and expects to continue using the online class format to finish his degree in Accounting—Computer Information. The online format has allowed him to juggle school, part-time work at Panera Bread, a lawn service business, and volunteering.

He was adopted out of the foster care system at the age of two and because of this has strong beliefs when it comes to child custody and the law. These firm beliefs and the thought-provoking essay question really encouraged him to participate in the Peck Law Firm scholarship essay contest.

In addition to accounting, Gavin enjoys riding his bike, reading, playing board games with friends, logic puzzles, baking, collecting coins, hiking, and visiting U.S. National Parks with his family.

We are extremely proud of Gavin and have posted his winning essay below.

We thank everyone who submitted an application this year. We enjoyed reading all of your thoughtful essays and differing perspectives. We are in the process of deciding whether we will continue our scholarship for a fifth year, and will post any updates regarding this to our blog.

Here is Gavin’s winning essay:

After divorce, it is common for loving parents to want sole custody of the children. Each parent may believe that they are more capable of raising the child than the other parent. Should judges start child custody cases with a presumption that fathers and mothers should have equal time with their children after a divorce? The simple answer is yes unless there is a valid reason for one party not to have child rights. I believe that judges should start child custody cases with joint custody as the standard because it is healthier for the child. Joint custody will help a child to become more accustomed to the fact that both their parents are no longer together and to have some sort of stability in their lives. It will help them to cope with the challenging times that their family is in and allow them to be able to communicate with both of their parents.

In 2017, more than 20 states started to investigate some sort of joint-custody laws. In 2015, there were only two states, Wisconsin and South Dakota, that actively encouraged joint custody of a child between parents. Results from a survey that questioned 150,000 people about this very topic showed that the vast majority supported the idea of a shared parenting arrangement after a divorce. How would the courts even decide whether to start a child custody case with a presumption for equal time between both parents with a child?

In most states, the law says that child custody is dependent on what is in the “best interests of the child”. How are best interests decided? The courts look at five different factors, including the child’s safety, the child’s age, the evidence of parenting ability, the consistency factor, and how big the impact would be on the child’s existing routine. Combining all these factors is how the court decides which parent is better equipped to care for the child. However, if these factors show one parent is more well suited than the other to care for the child, then why does joint custody even need to be considered? Let us look at some of the reasons for this type of court order.

Children start creating bonds with their parents by the time that they are 8 weeks old. Therefore, the loss of a parent is one of the most upsetting events a child can suffer. As a child ages and become more attached, the more difficult it would be for them to be able to let go of one parent. Thus, a joint custody order is more beneficial for a child. Instead of having to push a parent out of the child’s life, a joint custody order allows the child time to see both parents. Recently, there has been a new type of custody arrangement called birds nest custody that allows the child to stay permanently at their home while the parents take turns living in the house and caring for the child. This helps younger children to have stability rather than disrupting their routine. Whether using the bird’s nest method or not, it allows the divorce to be not as severe on the child and allows there to be more benefits for everyone involved. What are the benefits of joint parental custody?

Some benefits to joint custody are that children have a higher self-esteem and better academic records when both parents are active in their lives. Federal statistics show that children with both their parents in their lives are more likely to stay out of jail, stay away from drugs and alcohol, and avoid teen pregnancy and depression. Also, the children can maintain contact and continue to build their relationships with each of their parents. All these benefits come from having both parents in a child’s life. Joint custody does not only benefit the child. Both parents benefit as well from a joint custody court order. A joint custody court order means that one parent does not have to play the role of both father and mother. Research also shows that fathers that only have visitation rights are eight times as likely to commit suicide than fathers that have more parental involvement in their children’s lives. All these benefits show that if one parent is removed out of the family, there can be devastating consequences for both parents as well as the child.

Joint custody is just one option, it is, in my opinion, the most beneficial type of custody when both parents have been deemed suitable. It provides benefits to the child as well as the parent and it allows the child to continue to create bonds with both parents rather than just the one. Many states are now encouraging joint custody as it has been scientifically proven to be the more beneficial type of agreement in a child custody case for all those involved.

2018 Scholarship Winner

August 27, 2018 By Leave a Comment

We Have Selected A Winner For Our 2018 Scholarship!

Three years ago, we began sponsoring The Peck Law Firm scholarship to help assist exemplary students pay for their college education. The cost of attending college has continued to grow in recent years and we expect the scholarships we award to help offset these costs.

This year, we asked our applicants to write an essay responding to the following question: “How will America’s declining birth rate redefine American families, culture, and government?” We were eager to hear the differing perspectives of young adults on this important issue.

We had over 140 applications submitted to us from across the nation. The winner was chosen on the merit of their essay — without any reference to gender, race, age, where they live, or where they plan to attend school. After numerous hours of consideration, we found one essay that stood apart from the rest.

The writer of that essay, and winner of the 2018 Peck Law Firm Scholarship, is Elizabeth Hipes.

Elizabeth is the first winner of our scholarship who is local to the Charleston area. Our two previous winners were from outside Charleston County. We are especially honored to help a student so close to our firm. She is also the second high school student to receive this award.

Elizabeth was born in Columbus, Ohio and lived there for four years before moving to Wilmington, North Carolina. Ten years ago, she and her family moved to Mount Pleasant. She graduated from Wando High School in June 2018 and will be attending the College of Charleston this fall.

She plans on double majoring in Chemistry and Communication with a minor in Spanish. Her dream is to go to medical school and became an Anesthesiologist in New York City.

We are extremely proud of Elizabeth and have posted her winning essay below.

We thank everyone who submitted an application this year and can’t wait to see what’s in store for our 4th annual 2019 scholarship contest. We will be announcing the essay topic soon.

Here is Elizabeth’s winning essay:

With the steadily declining birth rate in the United States, there has been lots of debate on what the future of our country looks like and what should be done, if anything, to solve the problem. The declining birth rate will redefine many parts of American life like families, culture and government; but there is significant debate over whether or not this shift should be looked upon as a blessing or a national emergency.

The traditional American family 60 years ago consisted of the working father, stay-at-home mother and 2.5 children. But in today’s world due to the declining birth rate and and many other factors, the “traditional” American family is almost impossible to put into one category. The birth rate has been slowly declining since the 1980s and has been continuing to decrease for several different reasons with one of the biggest reasons being that women are waiting longer to have children. With secondary education becoming more and more common, women have been focusing on furthering their education and building a career rather than having children. Because women are going off to college first, some decide to focus on their career and not have children at all while others simply wait until a later age. Not only has the population been dipping because of the emphasis on secondary education and career building for women, but the intense lapse in teen pregnancy rates have also contributed to what is now seen by some demographers as a national emergency. Teen pregnancies in the United States have dropped 8% since 2014 and are continuing to drop. Because of this rising trend in secondary education and the degeneracy of teen pregnancy rates, American families are becoming smaller and parents becoming older. As compared to the “traditional” American family back in the 1950s, today’s family unit looks drastically different and will continue to do so until there is stabilization in America’s population.

Since the declining birth rate is decreasing the American population, it also means that the number of people in the workforce will continue to decrease as well. Therefore the government’s hand will eventually be forced to act to combat the diminishing workforce. When the “Baby Boomer” generation becomes Social Security eligible, those dependents will then look to the generations before them to fill in the gap or reach the “replacement level” in the workforce so that the retirees can receive their Social Security benefits. But since the birth rate has been continuing to decline, the replacement level will not be high enough to meet the bar set by the Baby Boomers. The government will then be forced to step in to combat the replacement level problem. This can be carried out in many ways but one of the clearest solutions to the problem is to outsource from other countries. By hiring people from around the world to come work in the United States, America’s culture will shift dramatically because of these employees and their families coming from different countries with different cultures than that of the United States. America has always been a melting pot of cultures, but with the declining birth rate and the inevitable influx of outsourced employment, the melting pot of America will become even more dramatically diverse.

Government policies and the types of problems that the government will intervene in will also change because of this growing problem. Government funded incentive programs could encourage people to have more children (like programs implemented in Singapore and Denmark). Aspects like longer maternity/paternity leaves, cheaper child care, and maybe subsidizing families will take place in order to keep the population in America stable. This type of government-run program (although carried out by many other countries around the world) has never been done by the United States before and so would completely change the way American citizens see their government and the role they should play in their everyday lives. Government intervention would not be the only thing to redefine American government; things like policy changes could take place when it comes to immigration. To keep tax revenue flowing — since there will be a lack of due to the aging population — the government could alter their immigration policy to allow more families to legally come into the country and work to stimulate the economy (and therefore generate more tax revenue).

All of these possible solutions to the declining birth rate problem would completely redefine the way American government is run, how American families look and the American cultural atmosphere. Although this redefinition and other effects of the declining birth rate are not seen by all as a bad thing. Some demographers are claiming that the declining birth rate could create several short term benefits for the community and for the planet. As the population declines, it is safe to say that people will produce less waste and consume less energy. With the earth rapidly deteriorating, demographers say that this could buy the world some time to mend the destroyed environment (whether it’s deforestation, air pollution or climate change) before it becomes irreparable. Another reason why the declining birth rate could be a good thing in the short run is that the American economy could be stimulated and productivity would increase. These short term benefits in the face of a declining birth rate are referred to demographers as the “demographic dividend”. When people have less children, they are more apt to focus on career building rather than family building, making a community (and a nation) more productive. Also with children being an additional financial responsibility, those with more children are less likely to consume and would keep the economy stagnant as compared to those with little to no children who would be more financially able to spend their money. There is a compelling argument that the declining birth rate could be an asset; but these benefits are temporary and in the long run the declining birth rate could have a major negative impact.

2017 Scholarship Essay Contest Winner Announcement

We Have Chosen A Winner For Our 2017 Scholarship!

This was our 2nd year of sponsoring The Peck Law Firm scholarship contest to help assist a student in raising additional funds to pay for their college education, which has continued to rise in recent years.

This year, we asked applicants to write an essay answering the question: “What effects will the 2016 presidential election have on American families?” We wanted to see the different views young adults have about the recent election.

We had over 200 applications this year from all around the country. These essays were read and judged without any reference to where the applicant lives or plans on attending school, or any other information like race, age, or gender. After spending countless hours and reading all the essays, one essay really stood out among the others we received.

With that being said, we are pleased to announce that the winner of the 2017 Peck Law Firm Scholarship is Anthony Perez!

Anthony recently graduated from Georgia Tech University in 2016 with a 3.4 GPA and a degree in finance. Anthony plans on pursuing a law degree from Mercer Law School in the fall of 2016.

Anthony came to Georgia Tech University on a baseball scholarship and not only excelled on the field, but also excelled in the classroom. During his time at Georgia Tech, Anthony made the Dean’s or President’s list each semester and was also an academic peer for his teammates on the baseball team.

We thank all of the 2017 applicants for their outstanding essays and look forward to providing more financial assistance with our 2018 scholarship contest!

Again, we congratulate Anthony Perez and wish him nothing but the best as he pursues his law degree from Mercer Law School! We have posted his winning essay at the bottom of this post.

We wish we had enough funds to award scholarships to all who applied. We want to thank all our applicants for their outstanding submissions and we can’t wait to see what happens for our 2018 scholarship contest.

Read Anthony’s essay below.

“As long as you are going to be thinking anyway, think big.” And oh boy does Donald Trump think HUUGGEE! This past election season was one for the history books. Not only was it the election of our 45th president, he was the first person elected that turned the election into a circus. Though many considered the election a joke, what is a democracy if you can’t vote for whomever you want? Now that President Trump is in charge of ruling the free world, what does that mean for American families? With so many variables and so many topics to discuss, this realm is nearly impossible to answer. Being a Hispanic conservative who voted for Trump, my perspective is taboo to some.

I would say my background is unique but my family’s issue, as well as my own, are the same as some American families. This election brought out the best and worst in people, but for my family, in particular, this election brought out the best. Growing up in a lower middle-class family, working to make ends meet, has and was always the main issue within my family. My father of Puerto Rican descent is a retired police officer and my mother, a southern belle from Louisiana who works as a lab tech, are two examples of what makes America so great, the working class! My parents are in pursuit of the American dream, which President Trump promises to bring back to our country in full force. Almost every morning as my father was paying for his coffee at the nearby Quiktrip, on his way to work, he would repeat the same corny line, as the cashier asked how his morning was going “I’m healthy, I’m employed, and I’m broke, but my people and I came to this country of capitalism to chase the American dream!” It would always give everyone as well as myself in line a little chuckle as he used his extremely apparent fake, broken English accent, even though he was fluent in both languages and had no issue speaking clear English.

This election has brought hope back to the working class American family. Trump’s win wasn’t some overly elaborate underdog win or some conspiracy theory. This country has blossomed from the idea that anyone can be anything through hard work and dedication in the pursuit of happiness. The American Dream used to be an attainable goal. How is Trump bringing back the American dream? Reforms in tax plans, medical services, and government spending are key issues for middle-class families. Since all these reforms are fairly new it is hard to say which will work best or which will work at all, but the concept of the reforms are geared to help those who were overlooked during the past eight years.

Trump’s tax reform stirs away from a progressive tax plan and causes growth and prosperity at each class level. Moving to a flat tax will create incentives for family’s and individuals to progress instead of thinking about how much more the government will take away as they make more money. For instance, my cousin had to make a difficult decision to accept a raise and better herself or stick with her current job so she that she wouldn’t be taxed as much. This should never be a question for someone who wants to move up in the world.

When the Affordable Care Act was passed, our family’s deductibles skyrocketed. Our insurance went from covering almost everything to making us pick and choose what we can and cannot have covered. On top of all of this, insurance companies were dropping like flies – leaving individuals in limbo. Presidents Trump’s idea to build competition between insurance providers would, of course, drive down price through competition but it would benefit the client the most by allowing people to pick the services they want or if they even want service at all.

Where do all of our tax dollars go? What is it used on? What the government spends our tax dollars on is always something we should have a say in. President Trump promises to rebuild our infrastructure. Preserving our government buildings and lands, such as our schools and parks, and help to finally build up our military. Not everyone agrees with these plans for investing in “America First,” as President Trump loves to say, but building up our military is one thing that is for certain going to help protect American families. Building back up our infrastructures will enhance our lives and keep us safe. The last thing our cities or other parts of our country need is another I-85 highway collapse, which drastically affected the city of Atlanta and the surrounding counties.

This election has brought much more back to the American families than policies and reforms. It has brought back the idea that anyone and everyone can attain the American dream. This election has brought back true hope and motivation to the working class. It is much deeper than policy. It is a lifestyle change. The election is a true testament to the citizens of this great nation and their hope for what is to come in the future. Without these deeply rooted ideas of what America really symbolizes, my Grandparents would have never moved to a two bedroom government housing apartment in the lower income areas of New York to chase an imaginary dream. There is truth behind America’s promises. We just need to get back to believing in it.
