Why Fellow Counsel Trusts Christy L. Hertz in Mediation
Christy brings decades of high-stakes courtroom experience to every case she mediates. In her three decades as a family law attorney, she has navigated complex marriage dissolutions, multi-jurisdictional custody battles, and high-net-worth marital property divisions. This experience gives her an elite depth of insight that directly benefits family law parties and their counsel in the mediation process.
Here are just a few reasons why Miami attorneys have chosen Christy to mediate their negotiations:
- Extensive courtroom knowledge - Having tried complex family law cases for decades, Christy understands how South Florida judges evaluate evidence, assess expert witnesses, and rule on financial disputes and child-related disputes, giving trial counsel an authoritative soundboard during mediation.
- Experience with high net worth cases – She is intimately familiar with complex valuation models, tax implications, and sophisticated property distribution, enabling seamless collaboration with business valuation experts and forensic accountants.
- Tailored resolution frameworks - Unlike the rigid constraints of a trial judge, private mediation allows attorneys and clients to construct customized, highly creative agreements, including tailored buyout schedules and private parenting plans.
- Complete discretion and privacy - We strive to ensure sensitive financial records, business operations, and family matters remain entirely confidential and out of the public record.
How Does Christy Help Resolve Mediation Disputes?
In the state of Florida, those seeking to resolve family law matters are required to attend mediation before trial. Retaining an authoritative, seasoned mediator is essential to setting your case up for a faster, more discreet out-of-court resolution.
Christy provides an active, highly analytical environment designed to help legal teams explore every viable path to resolution:
- In-depth financial and asset deconstruction - Evaluating complex marital estates involving closely held businesses, executive compensation structures, real estate portfolios, and offshore holdings with the financial insight required for high-net-worth resolution.
- Objective litigation risk evaluation - Helping counsel and their clients realistically test trial theories, assess evidentiary vulnerabilities, and weigh the true financial and emotional costs of trial against structured settlement terms.
- Navigating high-conflict dynamics - Applying seasoned authority, patience, and neutrality to de-escalate emotional barriers and move entrenched parties toward actionable compromise.
