Biography

About Peggy Gonsoulin Vallejo — Over 27 years of Louisiana alimony experience

Peggy Vallejo is a dedicated attorney with deep ties to Louisiana, having grown up in St. Bernard Parish and attended the Academy of Holy Angels High School. She pursued her undergraduate studies at Tulane University and earned her J.D. from Tulane Law School. Before entering the legal field, she amassed twenty years of experience working in a St. Tammany Parish law firm, starting as a legal secretary and later serving as Paralegal Manager. Her work during this time focused on various areas, including personal injury litigation, family law, successions, and mass tort cases. At the age of forty-four, Ms. Vallejo made the bold decision to pursue her law degree, launching her solo practice immediately after passing the bar in 1999. Today, she focuses on family law matters—such as divorce, spousal support, child custody, and succession litigation—as well as personal injury cases involving auto accidents and slip-and-falls. Her unique legal skills and commitment to excellence have earned her consecutive recognition as a Top Lawyer by New Orleans Magazine in Personal Injury and Family Law from 2015 to 2019.
