Client Testimonials
Jerry was a great mediator on our matter. Even when tensions are high, he was able to keep a calm and productive discussion going. He listened and offered creative, helpful suggestions to get us to realize that we could make these decisions on our own, for our sake of our children.
Jerry is one of the best in his field. He is a consummate professional who is results-oriented, knowledgeable, and empathetic, representing the mediation process as well as its participants. The fact that judges and lawyers call on him to resolve difficult cases says it all. I highly recommend him.
Jerald Kessler was instrumental in creating a calmer process of divorce from me and my husband. With his mediation we were able to move forward in our lives and remain on good terms. Without his mediation I feel the divorce process would have been lengthy and would not have ended as amicably.
