Professionals Praise Detente, Founder Stacey Langenbahn, J.D.

"Stacey is a highly-motivated and well-trained lawyer who combines mediation skills with Collaborative Law in the context of settlements of divorces and other family law issues. She is committed to peaceful resolution of difficult disputes and helps the parties focus on the issues that are most important to them. Stacey also helps the parties create their own solutions rather than following standard guidelines or formulas. Her approach provides a new option for those who want to avoid the acrimony of typical divorce litigation."
