I think Holly did an excellent job in a very difficult situation. I was very pleased.

I found Holly to very professional and easy to communicate with. In an intense atmosphere I found her poised, focused, and able lead by showing grace under extreme pressure. She managed to keep me and my ex focused on the facts, and the economics, and most importantly the well being of our children.... I never felt that she took one side or the other, and I can't say we could have sat in the room without her and accomplished the above mentioned objectives.

I recommend Ms. Chernoff as a family law mediator

As a family law attorney, I have used Ms. Chernoff many times as a mediator. I highly recommend her as a family law mediator. She is prompt, knowledgeable of the law and effective. Family law matters are always contentious and no one is happy but as a professional I see her working hard to settle ...difficult matters. Take the reviews written by clients in the context of people going through difficult times and expecting unrealistic results with a grain of salt. They don't want to hear opinions that differ from their mind set.
