Peggy is certified as a tax specialist by the California Board of Legal Specialization and is the past chair of the firm’s tax and wealth transfer planning group.

The Tax Law Advisory Commission prepares and grades the 6-hour examination for legal specialization in tax law.

In addition, the Commission members advise the California Board of Legal Specialization on matters pertinent to tax law specialization.
