I wholeheatedly endorse Pegi Price. She is a tireless worker who fights hard to protect her clients and to assert their best interests at all times. Pegi is a "real" person. She understands her client's concerns and is a caring person and an excellent attorney. Her client's love her. At the same time, she works very well with other attorneys and her charm can often achieve real results.
