Aaron Bundy
Trusted Guidance for Family Restructuring
I am a trial lawyer from Sapulpa, Oklahoma. I represent high-net-worth private clients in Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma in estate planning and family law disputes about financial support and asset division. I also represent individuals accused of criminal activity in government prosecutions and in high-stakes family law and civil cases that include allegations of misconduct.
I work with my clients to resolve important matters privately and by agreement when possible. When the other side is unreasonable or will not agree, I have the training and trial experience to provide skilled advocacy and representation in court for my clients. I am board-certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy as a family law trial lawyer. I am a fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and the International Academy of Family Lawyers.
My process for legal work is goal-oriented: to obtain the best result possible for each client in any given situation. I focus on providing the highest level of customer service while seeking the best outcome possible. I am committed to industry-leading best practices, so I spend much of every year training in various settings alongside the finest accountants, psychologists, financial advisers, and lawyers worldwide. My case preparation, negotiation, and trial work methods are objectively supported by skills training and cutting-edge psychological research. In 2021, I completed a year-long certificate program at SMU for financial planning, covering taxation, investments, insurance, retirement, and estate planning courses, all to better my knowledge and hone my skills for advising and representing people about their life's work and savings.
