Each attorney at the Law Office of Aaron D. Bundy, PLC, is effective at obtaining results for clients due to each attorney's meaningful experience, knowledge, and skill. Each attorney has real experience trying cases to judges and to juries. On a weekly basis, we are in court presenting evidence and cross-examining hostile witnesses.
However, courtroom experience by itself is not enough. Experience alone does not necessarily ensure quality. The number of similar cases that an attorney has handled has nothing to do with how good the attorney is in trial. The length of time that someone has been an attorney has nothing to do with how good that attorney is in trial. The law school that an attorney attended has nothing to do with how good an attorney is in trial. Good trial skills are the result of a combination of trial skills training, trial experience and work ethic.
At our law firm, every attorney has had specialized, intensive multi-day training for family law trials at either the National Family Law Trial Institute in Houston, Texas, or the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers Institute for Associates in Chicago, Illinois. As members of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, we attend regular skills training for presentation of evidence and cross-examination of hostile government witnesses, not just for criminal defense cases, but for the forensic interviewers, medical professionals, psychologists and DHS investigators who testify in many high-conflict family law cases. Every year each attorney is required to try cases and required to attend classes all over the United States where the attorney is on their feet practicing real courtroom skills in front of other attorneys. We hire communications professionals to come to our office and help us work on opening statements and ideas for our cases. We have an extensive library with family law, trial preparation and evidence books that we actually read and use. We work with psychologists to help our clients with witness preparation. As a result, we are able to prepare people to testify at depositions, hearings and trial in ways that few other attorneys have even heard about.
We are highly skilled at putting together and trying a lean, efficient case that is based on facts. We investigate matters before filing to gather relevant information, then we use the discovery process to gain admissions from the opposing party and confirm facts through witnesses. We have specialized training and experience in ethical witness preparation for depositions, evidentiary hearings and trial. We work to make each case simple and understandable. Judges and juries are humans, and they bring all the flaws of human decision-making with them to trial, including natural human biases and fatigue. Our focus is on credibility: when we say something, we have the evidence to back it up, and we get to it. We don't waste time in the courtroom, and we don't talk about things that do not matter.
Many attorneys do not understand how we handle cases or why we do things a certain way. For example, we disclose our client's evidence early in the case, including photographs, income information, text messages, and so on. We use discovery requests to force the other side to acknowledge the authenticity of the information disclosed. We prepare cross-examination well before trial, then, at trial, we use tight, controlled leading questions to gain key facts and admissions from the opposing party and opposing witnesses. Some attorneys do not use these tools because they do not know how to do it. Unfortunately, some family law attorneys are threatened or insecure about these "foreign ideas" such as showing the judge a photograph of the children or a map showing the distance between two parents' homes, so, rather than cooperate, those attorneys attempt to obstruct the litigation process by refusing to make disclosures, produce their evidence, or admit the authenticity of our evidence. The behavior of these attorneys is bizarre but predictable. They will lie and deny receiving documents, they will play word games and attempt to avoid having their client admit basic facts, and they will try to hide evidence. We are equipped to handle obstructionist attorney bullies. We do not back down from any attorney who makes false allegations or who engages in bad faith, obstructive behavior.
When we work on a case, everything we do is for a purpose: to win. The old saying is, "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail." Many attorneys are known for pushing paper around and spending time on meaningless activity just to generate big fees, then pressuring their client into a bad settlement when trial approaches. Not us. We work closely with each client, identifying the evidence and the client's goals, and we focus on proving the facts that matter for a successful outcome.
