About Laura L
Laura L Reagan trained in the law and completed the steps required to serve as a court-certified mediator. She earned Rule 31 mediator certification and built her practice around helping families and lawyers reach workable agreements. Her approach is practical and procedural; she aims to keep conversations focused on solutions rather than courtroom battles.
Her career has been concentrated in family law and alternative dispute resolution. At Stern Family Law, PLLC she functions as a neutral third-party during settlement conferences and mediation sessions. Colleagues describe her work as steady and centered on process. She guides parties through the mechanics of negotiation, clarifying legal options and the practical consequences of different choices.
As a Rule 31 mediator, she handles the range of issues that commonly arise in family law. That includes disputes over parenting plans, child support, spousal support and division of marital property. She conducts joint sessions and private caucuses when needed. In every case she seeks to create a space where both sides can exchange information, test proposals and narrow the areas of disagreement.
Reagan’s sessions typically emphasize preparation and structure. She encourages thorough pre-mediation exchange of documents and realistic budgeting of time for contentious topics. That procedural emphasis helps keep mediation efficient. It also helps parties and their attorneys assess whether a negotiated resolution is feasible before more costly litigation begins.
Outside of the mediation room she works closely with attorneys who represent clients in family law matters. Those attorney-to-mediator relationships are practical. They allow for clearer calendaring of sessions and smoother transitions when a mediated agreement requires court approval. She also assists in drafting settlement terms that reflect what was agreed to during mediation so that parties can move forward with fewer loose ends.
Today she practices at Stern Family Law, PLLC as a Rule 31 mediator. She accepts referrals for private mediations and court-ordered sessions. Her current work concentrates on facilitating negotiated outcomes in family law disputes and helping parties avoid prolonged litigation.
