Stacie Feldman Hausner has an exceptionally high settlement rate due to her tenacity, calm and friendly demeanor, creative “out of the box” thinking, and keen insight. Stacie draws on her broad mediation experience, as well as her extensive study and understanding of the fields of negotiation. Especially after an extensive career as a litigator, practicing law at both defense and plaintiff firms.
Stacie has been a full time mediator since 2015, and has successfully mediated more than 1,000 cases in the areas of:
- Business
- Real estate
- Personal injury
- Employment
- Insurance coverage
- Construction defect
- Malpractice
- Civil rights
- Entertainment
- Intellectual property
Stacie launched her mediation practice because she understood the perspectives and interests of the opposing sides to a dispute, as well as the benefits of alternative dispute resolution. She received an LL.M. in Dispute Resolution from the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution at Pepperdine University School of Law, and prior to joining ADR Services, Inc., she successfully mediated more than one hundred settlement conferences for the Los Angeles Superior Court. In addition, she has spent considerable time mediating for the Central District of the United States District Court, the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the Department of Consumer and Business Affairs, and the Center for Conflict Resolution.
Stacie is enthusiastic in her passion for mediation, and teaches mediation skills to practitioners, attorneys, and law students. She is an Adjunct Professor teaching “Mediation Theory and Practice”, “Advanced Mediation”, and “Mediating the Litigated Case” at the Straus Institute, where she has taught more than 25 classes.
