Best Law Firms in the United States for Family Law Mediation

Berner Law & Mediation Group was founded with the unique focus of helping individuals and families in conflict reach resolutions together, in a problem-solving way, instead of against each other, in a destructive way. Our law firm can offer you several advantages over traditional ways of divorcing, among them cost-effectiveness, durability, and a process that promotes respect rather than prolonging hostility.

Whether in the context of divorce (our primary focus), other family, family business, or workplace disputes, our client-centered approach seeks to create a safe and trusting space to engage in constructive dialogue and perspective-taking. We also conduct financial and legal analyses, where applicable, to provide a deeper understanding of the financial and legal realities. This helps clients make informed, optimal decisions about how to move forward in their lives.

Our Philosophy

Adam Berner, the founder of our firm, was one of the first lawyers in the New York and New Jersey area to practice Alternative Dispute Resolution. He saw families torn apart by divorce and other conflicts as they navigated the court system. He knew there had to be a better way.

Adam built a practice that places clients first, recognizing that divorce has many dimensions: legal, emotional, psychological, and parental. He built a team that maintained the same values. Our team is made up of people who believe the work we do is crucial because a courtroom is not the place to resolve family issues. Our practice creates a trusting environment that facilitates conversation between divorcing spouses and other disputing parties, encouraging them to understand the facts of the situation, address each other’s priorities, and take charge of shaping their futures through mediation and collaborative law.

Trusted Guidance for Family Restructuring

Bundy is the go-to law firm in America's Heartland for family law, complex civil litigation, and appeals. The law firm provides the highest level of service to individuals in Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma involved in dissolution and child custody proceedings, injury claims, and appeals. Its attorneys advise on high-net-worth financial disputes, including the valuation and division of professional practices, mineral interests, farms, ranches, artwork, and investment portfolios. Their trial work includes family law, criminal defense, and civil justice cases involving severe injury or death. In 2023, Bundy expanded into Bentonville, a fast-growing city in northwest Arkansas that is the home to three Fortune 500 companies and a new airport offering nonstop service to all major US cities. In 2024, the firm continued its regional growth into the southwestern portion of Missouri. As a firm, Bundy is ranked Band 1 by Chambers and Partners, which is the highest possible recognition from the world's foremost independent legal research company.

Each attorney is a trial lawyer with actual jury trial experience. More importantly, their legal work is informed by objective standards and best practices, including:

• The Bounds of Advocacy published by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. The Bounds of Advocacy are guides intended to assist matrimonial lawyers confronting moral and ethical problems, as existing codes often do not provide adequate guidance to the matrimonial lawyer
• "Trial By Agreement" by Stephen D. Susman. Mr. Susman was a preeminent trial lawyer who worked on Texas' civil procedure and discovery rules. Over time, he crafted proposed agreements for opposing attorneys to consider to streamline both pretrial litigation and the trial process. His proposed stipulations do not give either side an advantage, and they help attorneys focus on the case at hand rather than fight little battles that have nothing to do with the merits of the case or the outcome
• Federal Judge Claire Eagan's Trial Rules
• Standards for Appellate Conduct established by the Supreme Court of Texas

Recognized as leaders in trial and appellate advocacy, partners Aaron Bundy, Danya Bundy, and Kathleen Egan frequently speak to professional organizations about legal developments and best practices for discovery and trial. Each has completed multiple immersive training programs, such as the Advanced Business Valuation course at the National Family Law Trial Institute in Houston, Texas. Individually and collectively, they co-counsel and privately advise other attorneys on strategy, witness preparation, evidentiary issues, and appeals. Bundy combines proprietary internal procedures and industry-leading software to empower attorneys and staff to effectively collaborate on complex cases without the inefficiency often associated with multi-attorney representation.

Positioned at the forefront of family law, Bundy's lawyers are uniquely qualified to work on high-value, high-stakes financial cases and appellate matters involving novel issues. The attorneys are actively involved in legal organizations relevant to their practice areas. Aaron Bundy and Kathleen Egan are fellows of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. Aaron is the only fellow of the International Academy of Family Lawyers in Oklahoma or Arkansas. All three partners are listed in the 2026 Lawdragon 500 Leading Family Lawyers guide. Their cross-border relationships and experience have led to significant jurisdiction-focused work – either contesting jurisdiction as improper or aiding with registering foreign family law orders for clients who have relocated to our state.

Bundy helps clients navigate complex family transitions using next-generation technology. Their intake, discovery, trial preparation, and briefing processes are enhanced by artificial intelligence. You may check out their free, easy-to-use intake process here: Bundy Intake Pathway
