Lance A. LaBelle, Esq., is a highly regarded mediator, arbitrator, and insurance expert with experience handling all forms of insurance matters. Before embarking on a career as a full-time neutral, he practiced law as an AV-rated attorney for over 30 years, handling a wide variety of matters and specializing in insurance cases. In his conversation with Len, Lance provides insights into overcoming the impediments necessary to resolve not only habitability cases but also others in which insurance issues must be addressed.

Mr. LaBelle tries never to lose sight of the goal of dispute resolution – to assist the parties in reaching an agreement. He carefully listens to the parties in order to gain a thorough understanding of their positions and real interests. While Lance takes an evaluative approach, he also focuses on building trust and a productive working relationship with counsel and their clients. He looks for ways to “expand the pie” and employ creative solutions to reach a settlement.

Lance’s approach to mediation incorporates his belief that mediation does not begin or end on the date of the mediation. He endeavors to discuss the case with counsel before the date of the mediation and follows up with counsel after the mediation, if necessary, at no additional expense, and matters often settle as a result of these continuing efforts. He cares deeply about the outcome of each case and truly appreciates the parties and their counsel placing their trust in him to assist in the resolution of their disputes.

Lance LaBelle is available for both mediation and arbitration through ADR Services, Inc. (www.adrservices.com).
