General Info

I am an attorney that is completely dedicated to the protection of civil liberties. I have never worked as a prosecutor. I have never been a police officer or worked in any type of law enforcement capacity. I have never worked as a judge. Therefore, I have never placed anyone under arrest, asked a jury to send someone to prison, signed a search warrant and have never ordered anyone to prison. Since I began the practice of law in 2001, I have been dedicated to the protection of the rights of the individual. * Licensed to practice law in Oklahoma and Kansas * Lifetime Member of NORML Legal Committee * Member - Oklahoma Criminal Defense Lawyer Association * Member - Tulsa County Bar Association * On average, I complete 4 to 5 jury trials a year * 2008 and 2010 Republican Candidate for Oklahoma State House * Admitted to the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma My law practice is about 95% criminal defense work. I have handled just about every type of criminal case from traffic tickets to murder cases. I have also handled just about every type of drug case from simple possession to trafficking. I am one of only three attorneys in Oklahoma who is a lifetime member of the NORML legal committee. The other types of cases I handle are closely related to criminal cases. These cases are civil forfeitures and civil rights violations. Civil forfeitures are civil cases in which the government takes property from an individual, usually cash, and attempts to keep the property by claiming it was gained from, or somehow used in, an illegal transaction, usually drugs. When the police or other government agents use excessive force against a citizen or illegally enter the property of a citizen, the citizen can file a civil lawsuit seeking money damages for that violation of his civil rights.
