She has not only been an advocate for parents, but often for the children themselves through numerous court appointments.  In addition to her private practice, Peggy serves as an Assistant Family Court Commissioner for La Crosse County and Supplemental Court Commissioner for Judge Elliott Levine.

Since she began practicing in the Coulee Region, Peggy has also helped injured persons recover the damages due to them for their pain and suffering, medical costs, lost income and other compensation for which they are entitled.

In addition to her law practice, Peggy takes an active role in the Coulee Region and State, evidenced by the many professional associations and community groups with which she has been affiliated.  She has been selected by her peers to be included in the 2013 Best Lawyers in America listing for her work in Family Law.  She has been named a Super Lawyer by Milwaukee Magazine and has been recognized by the YWCA of the Coulee Region as an "Outstanding Woman" in the area of Business/Professional.  She was also recently chosen to receive the State of Wisconsin's Business and Professional Women's "Woman of Inspiration" award at BPW's state convention.
