Our Commitment
Irrespective of who you are or by whom you are represented, Langbein ADR Services offers a neutral platform to clients during their chosen resolution process. This means both sides participate in the proceeding on an equal basis, each having an opportunity to present its positions in accordance with published ethical standards governing the chosen resolution process.
If that resolution process is mediation, it is important to know that no party can be forced to settle, if that is truly the party's desire. But Langbein ADR Services will explain the benefits of a well negotiated mediated settlement to enable parties to make an informed choice. Langbein ADR Services can assist each party in formulating and presenting a unique proposal that may achieve its desired outcome.

Before she became a mediator, Leslie W. Langbein was a litigator and advisor in labor and employment matters. Her path into mediation reshaped not only her practice, but her view of what real resolution looks like.
