Aaron D. Bundy carried the Fry & Elder banner proudly and highly in our nation’s capital earlier this month.
The accomplished Oklahoma trial lawyer traveled to Washington D.C. to present at the 55th Annual Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC) Conference, which ran June 6-9.
Bundy co-presented with highly-regarded forensic psychologist Dr. Sol Rapaport and former Fry & Elder attorney M. Shane Henry for a presentation titled “Preparing for and Conducting a Cross Examination of a Custody Evaluation.”
“The presentation went very well,” Bundy said. “There were nearly 200 people in attendance – half of them were mental health professionals and the other half were lawyers with one judge on hand.”
Bundy said the presentation fell into three parts.
- Discussion about preparing to testify as a witness and preparing early to cross-examine an expert with an adverse conclusion.
- Discussion about what constitutes a sound custody evaluation.
- Final discussion about the goals and ways to cross-examine a mental health professional making a recommendation to the court.
“We had a lot of positive feedback from the audience immediately after the presentation,” Bundy said. “It really was the most I can remember in terms of the number of people approaching to thank us. It felt great and it was a wonderful event.”
