About
Joan Bundy, principal of Joan Bundy Law, became passionate about divorce and family law while serving as a prosecutor. Most of her case load involved domestic-violence matters. She spoke firsthand with domestic-violence victims, heard their stories, and helped bring them justice. She saw how the legal system can be a positive force to help families escape abusive and sometimes life-threatening situations, and move on with their lives. As a prosecutor, Joan learned another important lesson: The justice system’s adversarial nature can sometimes stand in the way, not help bring about, a positive outcome in family law cases. When she opened her own family-law practice in Chandler, which she saw as a natural outgrowth of her previous experience, she saw many of the same patterns. Too many divorce and family law cases are characterized by needless conflict between the two parties and their attorneys. The result is a lengthy, expensive, heart-wrenching process that leaves lasting scars, particularly when children are involved. Only the attorneys stand to gain from high-conflict litigation. Joan’s job is to advocate for the best interests of her divorce and family law clients. She does not hesitate to assertively advocate for them if the situation requires it. If the other party or opposing counsel are uncooperative, there is no other choice. Still, she believes that cooperation is the preferred approach because it often brings faster, more efficient, happier, and longer-lasting outcomes that benefit both her clients and their families. Joan reviews each client’s legal matter individually and recommends the approach that she believes, through years of experience in family law, will work best. If the parties are willing to work together to resolve their issues, she may recommend mediation or another form of alternative dispute resolution instead of going to court. As a divorce and family law attorney, Joan’s goals are to:Joan grew up in a small Iowa town, which she credits for her traditional values and strong work ethic. She has lived in Arizona since 2000. Before entering the legal field, she sharpened her communication skills as a journalist and public relations professional.The proud “parent” of a dog and a cat, Joan considers companion animals to be part of the family and is a recognized national expert on animal law issues. She is immediate past chairperson and a member of the Executive Council of the State Bar of Arizona’s Animal Law Section and, for many years, has been a board member of, volunteer for, and financial contributor to many animal welfare organizations.

When I picked a divorce attorney I found Joan Bundy online, I picked her because of her name! However, so glad I did, she got me everything I wanted in record time, less than 4 months from start to finish for my messy divorce. She also did not charge an arm and a leg. She was sympathetic to my cause and got the job done quickly and efficiently with a no nonsense approach. I highly recommend Joan to help you with your legal problems.
I felt comfortable, while speaking with Joan. Her knowledge, and guidance, provided the confidence needed, to proceed with my court case. I highly recommend Joan Bundy!
She is a very friendly lawyer.I am from China, my English is not good, she is still very patient to explain to me.With her help, I think I have gained effective benefits in the shortest time.During this period of cooperation with her, I can feel that she is professional, careful, patient and positive. And he gave a lot of confidence to me.I really appreciate everything she has done for me.
I have a very complex case spanning over many years of court. Most recently my case was transferred to a different county and I needed to find a new attorney. The attorney I had referred me to Ms. Bundy. As a single parent of four children navigating a complicated history of court filings, proceeding, evaluations etc... I needed someone knowledgable and sensitive to the nature of not just the case but the family behind it. Joan was always professional, timely and compassionate concerning my families wants, needs financial situation, and overall desired outcome. She was motivated to seek and receive the most desirable outcome for myself and my children. She was always available, attentive, and responsive to the needs of the case as well me the client. Ms. Bundy displayed a genuine concern for the outcome of my case and put heart and soul into every action. In the courtroom Joan was assertive, took action, and was effective. I would recommend her to anyone seeking an attorney who will fight for the clients best interests while also lessening confusion and uncertainties that coincide with any court proceeding. Thanks Joan for all your hard work!!
I contacted Joan reference a divorce issue. Joan walked me through the process and advised me on how to handle the issues and what the possible pitfalls might be. Joan communication skills were excellent. She called when she stated she would and answer emails promptly. Joan did an excellent job of writing a response to a motion and counter motion which were well received by the court. I would recommend Joan on any family law matter you might have.
Joan has helped me with my child custody case for the past year and I couldn't imagine a better attorney for the job. Such a case requires you to put nearly every personal thing you have about your life on the table and I couldn't ask for a more professional and trustworthy attorney to handle such a matter for me. She responded quickly to every email I ever sent her and patiently answered all my questions, eased my concerns and kept me informed throughout every step in the process, a most important courtesy when going through such a difficult time. She has worked hard and efficiently with me to ensure that I had the best possible shot in court and represented me very well when the day finally came. As for the money, a good family law attorney is going to be relatively expensive... it is a field that requires loads of knowledge, experience and time. At least you get what you pay for with Joan, and without "surprises".
My partner and I retained Joan to assist us with working out parenting time and legal custody for our son that we share with another couple. Through the entire process of working out the proposed parenting plan, Joan was extremely knowledgeable and confident. She went out of her way to educate us on every step of the process, next steps and what to expect. She is prompt to return emails and phone calls, which is a huge plus when dealing with time sensitive and at times, and emotional situations. Throughout everything, Joan handled the situation with the upmost professionalism. We highly recommend her for working with same sex parents or opposite sex parenting plan needs.
Joan was very professional while handling my case against an attorney that was less then ethical. Joan held her ground and remained confident the entire time.
Joan Bundy thoroughly investigated my case and always had time to listen to and address my concerns. She is and has been very organized and keeps up to date with details regarding my case. She also has taken swift action when it has been necessary. I would highly recommend Joan Bundy if you are looking for an assertive, capable and compassionate attorney.
From day one, Joan has been right on top of things, keeping me up to date on what has been happening, whether it be an email or a phone call. She has shared what the next step would be and what I could expect. Before every appearance, she worked with me, sharing what I might see happen in the courtroom. Following leaving the courtroom, Joan and I would sit in the hallway and she would explain what just took place inside. Then we would talk about what we would be doing next. She has been verry patient and und3rstanding with my individual situation. I would highly recommend Joan to anyone.
