Mixed Reviews
Jerald Kessler, a mediator and attorney, has received both positive and negative reviews from clients. While some people have had a good experience with him, others have been disappointed with his services.
Lack of Help and Poor Communication
One client, Geets Romo, had a negative experience with Kessler. She and her ex-wife were trying to work out an amicable divorce, but Kessler failed to help them. Instead, she felt that he made things worse by being unprofessional and accusatory. She accused him of "milking" them for money and not providing any real help in resolving their issues.
Unprofessional Behavior
Another client, Fergus Clare, also had a negative experience with Kessler. Clare was concerned about the terms of service offered by Kessler, which he found to be riddled with legal inaccuracies. When he asked questions about the terms, Kessler decided not to mediate the case, citing a problem with the wording of his agreement. Clare felt that this was unprofessional and lacked ethical responsibility.
Good Experience
However, not all clients have had a negative experience with Kessler. An Be ranked him 5 stars and had a positive experience with his professionalism and knowledge. Devin Sullivan also had a positive experience with Kessler, finding him to be professional, courteous, and knowledgeable.
