PRO
I grew up in a small farming town in Wisconsin. Through marriage to a military person, I landed in Virginia. I obtained my undergraduate education at Old Dominion University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science. I majored in Finance and Economics. I went on to attend law school at Regent University of Law. I have four children and reside in beautiful Williamsburg. I own two little designer dogs (Brussels Griffons) and a Ragdoll cat.
Having been through a difficult divorce, including the division of military retirement, I understand the challenging time folks encounter going through a divorce, particularly when there are children involved. I offer a unique compassion for my clients due to my own life experiences.

Completely awful experience from start to finish. She was hard to get ahold of, and when I would speak to her office two of the staff members were nice, but the receptionist was awful. When it came time to go into settlement talks she just wouldn't stop telling me what to do and never gave me time t...
Unfortunately, when you have to let staff go (for behavior problems), they post false reviews. Since none of the above information is true or relates to a client, it is obvious the source.
"Ms. Pedersen deeply cares about her clients. I have personally observed her zealous advocacy both inside and out of the courtroom. Ms. Pedersen has extensive experience in litigating complex family law matters. Her reputation commands respect from her colleagues."
"Ms. Pedersen is truly a family law expert. Her knowledge of the law and our local judicial community, provides an invaluable advantage to her clients' representation. Her compassion and care for each client makes her a well-respected, highly sought after advocate for a reason."
"Consummate professional in every regard. Highly competent, intelligent and professional. Can be counted on to get results for her clients in the toughest cases. My highest recommendation."
