Peggy Gehl has been selected to work with some of the top civil, family, guardianship and probate practitioners in the community. Protection of the rights of the incapacitated has always been a top priority, as well as extraction of the outer layer in a family case to discover the true motivation behind a party’s interest. Her developed sense of listening helps her determine motivation– the key to a successful mediation. Her years of practicing civil law has enhanced her ability to flesh out the issues in civil suits efficiently.
“Dear Judge Gehl, thank you for being so fastidious and detailed in our mediations. You have been able to get both sides to come to agreement on several cases I had labeled DOA heading into mediation. Thank you also for waiving your cancellation fee on the last one. I hope you made it out unscathed with both Helene and Milton.”
“I have been practicing in the area of Probate and Trust Litigation for the past 12 years. I have utilized retired Judge Peggy Gehl as a mediator numerous times over the last few years. What sets her apart from other mediators (aside from her vast knowledge and experience in Probate and Trust law) is that she gets actively engaged in the process and genuinely wants the parties to reach an amicable resolution to their disputes. She carefully and thoroughly reads all of the materials in advance of mediation, and challenges both sides regarding the strengths and weaknesses of their respective positions. Even though she successfully resolved almost every case she has mediated for me, she routinely follows up to offer any assistance she can to facilitate an ultimate resolution in those rare instances when a settlement is not reached at the mediation conference. For these reasons and many others, I highly recommend Judge Gehl as mediator.”
