The trial lawyers at the Law Office of Aaron D. Bundy, PLC, are focused on obtaining the best results possible for each client in every case.
The attorneys at the Law Office of Aaron D. Bundy are Aaron Bundy, Katie Egan, Amy Page, Michelle Thuillier, and Danya Mahjoub. We work to obtain value and positive outcomes for our clients from the fallout associated with failed and betrayed relationships, including divorce and family law, criminal charges involving family members, and conflicts arising from business and social relationships, including verbal and written agreements and partnership disputes. There is no law firm in Oklahoma like us.
Here is how we handle cases:
1. Keep it simple. Every case has its factual and legal complexities. If a settlement cannot be reached, a decision will be made by a judge or a jury. Obviously jurors may not have any legal background. Did you know that judges do not have any specialized training or skills to be a judge? Judges are not necessarily aware of the things that impact their own decision-making, including their own biases. Cutting-edge psychological studies show us that humans are worse decision-makers than we think we are, and that all human brains are inherently lazy. Our job is to present your case in a simple, understandable way so that your best possible outcome is the outcome that makes sense to the ultimate decision-maker.
2. Cross-examination. Trials are about facts. For any given fact that is at issue in a case, there is more value establishing that fact through the opposing party than proving that same exact fact through you, the client. The nature of our court system requires each side to present their best case. Judges and juries are aware of this, so they have an inherent skepticism of any evidence that is presented by a person, and that person's attorney, as a good fact for his or her side. That skepticism goes away when the opposing party admits the same exact fact -- surely they wouldn't admit a fact that helps you, their opposing party, or that makes them look bad, unless that fact that they are admitting is absolutely true. Proving facts that way is done through cross-examination, which is an important skill for every type of courtroom lawyer. Cross-examination requires skill and intense pretrial preparation. Sometimes we go into hearings, such as emergency custody hearings, temporary injunction hearings, and protective orders, with very little time or information to prepare. We are experienced and skilled at successfully handling tough, uncooperative witnesses in stressful, adverse circumstances with little opportunity for preparation. Strong cross-examination skills have allowed us in exceptional circumstances to win custody and breach of contract cases without our client even testifying, because we were able to prove everything we needed to prove through cross-examination of the opposing party.
3. Focus on what matters. Every lawsuit can quickly be bogged down and become very expensive when attorneys start fighting over discovery and other things that have little or nothing to do with the ultimate outcome of the case. During litigation, our focus is on adding value to the case. We tailor discovery to confirm facts that support our client’s case and that hurt the other side’s case. Discovery is part of trial preparation, and we use the discovery process to help prove facts at trial. We do not play games and hide evidence or engage in obstructive behavior that increases fees and expenses.
Statistics tell us that most cases settle. To obtain your best settlement, you need a trial lawyer who knows how to put a case together and make the strongest possible settlement demand. When the other side is unreasonable or a bully and the case cannot be settled, you need a trial lawyer who can take your case all the way.
