In addition, Mr. Lundy also has lectured on the subject of retirement account division to judges, family law practitioners, and other family law professionals throughout the country.

Clients seek his counsel as a means to not only accurately address legal issues related to retirement accounts, but also to advise on and execute the most practical means of expeditiously resolving retirement account issues. Mr. Lundy has also spearheaded a movement to encourage to discourage the unlicensed practice of law in the context of QDRO preparation, as a means of protecting the public at large and to ensure that clients get the best and most complete service possible. This has included lecturing and writing articles on the topic of UPL, as well as a seeking advisory opinions from at least one state bar association clarifying the bars position on this particular topic.
