Aggressively Representing Clients For Over 40 Years

Whether you have a criminal record or this is your first run-in with the law, it can be intimidating to navigate the criminal process alone. And, unfortunately, making a mistake can have a long-term impact on your freedom, your goals and your family’s welfare. When the stakes are high, it is critical to work with an attorney who knows how to defend you against charges.

As a solo practitioner with 47 years of experience, I have seen the Oklahoma criminal justice system evolve, but my core mission remains unchanged: providing a formidable defense built on integrity. When you face the state or federal government, you aren’t just fighting a charge; you are fighting to preserve your future. I offer a direct access model, ensuring that your case is handled personally by me, not passed to an associate.

Time is not on your side after you’ve been arrested or charged with a crime. Call 800-787-2415 to reach my Oklahoma City office now and speak to a skilled lawyer for free about your case.

Equipped To Handle The Difficult Cases

Across the state, I am known for my substantial understanding of the law and my assertive legal strategies. I know how to build a strong case that highlights flaws in the opposing counsel’s argument, getting you the results that you deserve. Using decades of courtroom experience, I am qualified to represent clients in a range of matters, including:

• Asset Forfeiture and Highway Interdiction
  In Oklahoma, law enforcement often uses highway stops as a dragnet for Asset Forfeiture. Under the guise of interdiction, officers may seize your cash, vehicle or property without ever filing a criminal charge. My firm is uniquely equipped to challenge these seizures. I hold the government to its burden of proof, demanding the return of property taken through overreach or lack of evidence.
• Drug Crimes: The “Drug Dog” Defense
  Serious drug crimes, from possession to trafficking, frequently hinge on the use of K-9 units. I am recognized for my skill in attacking the dog. I teach other attorneys how to dismantle the accuracy and reliability of these animals. By exposing deficiencies in training or handler cuing, I move to suppress evidence, often leading to the dismissal of high-stakes felony charges.
• DWI and Implied Consent
  A DWI (Driving While Impaired) charge in Oklahoma is a specific misdemeanor for those with a BAC between 0.05% and 0.08%. It carries significant penalties and administrative weight. I understand the complexities of implied consent laws and fight to protect your driver’s license from automatic revocation and challenge the validity of the initial traffic stop.
• Illegal Search and Seizure
  The Fourth Amendment is the cornerstone of my practice. An illegal search and seizure is the most common gateway to a criminal conviction. Whether it is a warrantless search of your home or a pretextual stop on I-40, I meticulously review every second of body-cam footage and every line of the police report to find the constitutional flaw that breaks the prosecution’s case.
• Property Crimes
  Whether you are facing charges for larceny, burglary or the state’s aggressive new organized retail crime statutes, these “Class A–D” designations now trigger predictable and often severe consequences. I provide a sincere and purposeful defense, leveraging my 47 years of experience to challenge the $1,000 felony threshold and intent elements, ensuring you are not swallowed by a standardized sentencing machine.
• Violent Crimes
  From homicide and manslaughter to shooting with intent to kill, violent crime charges carry heightened time-served requirements and mandatory minimums that offer little room for judicial discretion. My approach is authoritative and formidable; I meticulously scrutinize the prosecution’s evidence to challenge force or fear allegations and seek to protect my clients from the life-altering reach of these standardized prison terms.

As your attorney, I will take the time to go over your case and explain your legal options, including the potential advantages and consequences. I will craft a legal strategy that is geared toward protecting your future as I zealously defend your rights in a court of law.

I am a trial-tested litigator who will not back down from a legal challenge. When you have a difficult case, do not hesitate to contact me.
