I have conferred with Jerry multiple times and I have found him to be very responsive and great at listening. I also appreciate his experience with mediation because it can really make a difference with holding down legal costs.
Jerry has done great work on my Estate Plan, he was thoughtful and thorough and made sure we understood everything in the plan. Easy to work with and now we are protected from probate with our new Trust, etc.!

"Jerald is a very patient and methodical mediator that collects all the information on a given issue then commences a reasonable approach to problem solving. He has a very calming effect on both parties and attorneys when assessing the problems presented to him and that makes him a very formidable problem solver and mediator. I endorse him without any reservation."
