At both firms, Peggy’s pro bono interests included litigating cases addressing homelessness, employment discrimination, and civil rights.

Peggy graduated from Saint Mary’s College, Notre Dame, Indiana in 1971 and received her JD from the George Washington University Law School in 1976, where she was a member of the Order of the Coif and led the National Moot Court team. In 2014, the GW Law Association of Women and the GW Law Alumni Association honored her with the Belva Lockwood Award, recognizing her long and successful career as a female trial attorney.
