Fair Resolutions Grounded In The Rule Of Law. As an award-winning effective mediator, Peggy Gehls goal is to assist parties to voluntarily enter into fair settlements grounded in the rule of law settlements which will pass the muster of judicial scrutiny and become the law of the case. Civil litigation, probate litigation, and family law made up the bulk of a 13 year private practice during which time she developed a keen attention to detail, strong writing skills and a respect for private practitioners. Moving forward into the judiciary to broaden her purview of the law, Peggy adjudicated thousands of civil and criminal cases in Broward County, after serving the 17th Judicial Circuit as a General Magistrate. In addition to her certification in circuit/civil and county, Peggy is a Florida Supreme Court certified Family mediator-an area where she has broad experience both as a private practitioner and member of the judiciary. Serving as a Florida Supreme Court designated Senior Judge immediately after retirement, she sat in both the family and domestic violence divisions.
