About Laura
Biography
“Ongoing disputes undermine business, sap executive and personnel energy and sometimes threaten partner or customer relations. Nothing is more rewarding to me than helping parties to come to a solution better for each of them than litigation, ideally in mediation, or efficiently in arbitration.”
In mediation, I use all the tools in the mediation toolbox with a keen eye to helping the parties resolve their own dispute, knowing they have special insight into their relationship.
In arbitration, I focus on controling the process to assure the parties that arbitration is in fact more expeditious and less costly than litigation.

Biased
Very biased and power hungry woman I used to arbitrate. Enjoyed being heavy fisted. A Trump supporter all the way who enjoys ruining lives. Bitter, bitter human being.
Laura Kaster
Replied last March 19, 2025I do not serve as an attorney in any matter, I serve only as a neutral arbitrator. I am very sorry this person had a bad experience. There is, unfortunately, always one loser in every arbitration. The rules always impose a burden of proof and alway require compliance with outstanding Orders. My politics have never been revealed in any arbitration in which I am involved. This commentator knows nothing about my political views. My commitment in an arbitration is to the Rule of Law, basic fairness and neutrality.
