Mediation is a distinct profession. While a knowledge of the law, finance, family dynamics, and child development are important, it is mastery of conflict resolution that is key. Unlike many who hold themselves out as mediators, I do not "dabble" in mediation as a sideline or as something to do in retirement after a career in law.
Mediation is a voluntary process that can address a range of conflicts. Whether you're dealing with child custody law or labor law, mediation can benefit both parties involved. Jerald A. Kessler provides effective dispute resolution in Libertyville, Northfield and Chicago, Illinois. Job and guardianship mediation are calm and reasonable approaches to the litigation process, but not all mediators are the same.

Kessler can help you have a collaborative divorce in Libertyville, Northfield, or Chicago, Illinois based on peace and understanding. Taking an adversarial approach is toxic and inefficient.
I hired Jerald Kessler to help manage my mediation for my divorce in 2010. Jerry was fair and impartial during our meetings, as well as kind and compassionate during a difficult time. He has a wonderful sense of listening to both sides to figure out the best solution for a very emotional situation.

I can’t say enough about how Jerry has helped me. His services go beyond mediation. He provides great attorney recommendations too! I would recommend speaking to him before any litigation issue.

Jerry is one of the best in his field. He is a consummate professional who is results-oriented, knowledgeable, and empathetic, respecting the mediation process as well as its participants. As President of the Mediation Council of Illinois, Jerry has been at the forefront of advocating mediation as an alternative to litigation long before it was popular and accepted. The fact that judges and lawyers call on him to resolve difficult cases says it all. I highly recommend him as a mediator.

Jerry did a good job with helping me through my divorce during a pandemic. He kept me informed, which set my mind at ease. Walked me through the process and was willing to speak up when things weren’t in my favor. I would highly recommend him.

Jerald Kessler was instrumental in creating a calmer process of divorce for 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 have ended as amicably.

Jerry Kessler is an excellent mediator and attorney. My family and I have engaged him many times to mediate the various issues regarding divorce, elder care, pre-marriage agreements, and even teenagers! He is compassionate, caring, and highly intelligent. His demeanor is calm and reassuring, even in the midst of turmoil and uncertainty. I highly recommend him if you choose to go through mediation.

He dragged the divorce process out to overcharge. Low level representation for a high price cost at a snails pace. Disappointing.
