The Best Part of My Divorce
Peg is intelligent, experienced, organized and focused. Her collaborative law practice is just that - an experience in which all members of the team work together to meet the goals of the clients. She was the calm in the eye of the storm that my life had become. I especially appreciated her canine assistant, Angus, who provided lots of unconditional love and reassurance during some stressful meetings. Her human assistant, Sandra, was also helpful and responsive to my concerns.
