Lawyers in Tulsa, Oklahoma
Shielding Your Rights from Start to Finish

State and federal criminal laws differ in terms of jurisdiction, scope, and penalties. State laws apply to crimes committed within a state’s boundaries and are enforced by local or state authorities. On the other hand, federal laws cover offenses that cross state lines, involve federal property, or violate federal statutes and are enforced by federal agencies such as the FBI. Federal courts often impose more severe penalties than state courts. Our legal team has extensive experience handling state and federal cases, ensuring you receive knowledgeable representation regardless of the crime.

Our legal team employs a comprehensive approach when handling criminal defense cases. We begin by thoroughly investigating each case, analyzing evidence, interviewing witnesses, and exploring all possible defenses. Innocent until proven guilty is the staple by which our criminal defense team operates. Our experienced attorneys also stay up-to-date with the latest developments in criminal law, ensuring that we can effectively challenge any procedural errors or violations of your constitutional rights. We strive to protect your freedom and reputation by building a strategic defense.

Evidence plays a crucial role in criminal defense and family law cases, as it helps establish facts, supports arguments, and ultimately influences the outcome of a case. Rules of evidence govern the admissibility of evidence in court, determining what information can be presented to the judge or jury. This includes factors such as relevance, reliability, and credibility. Our lawyers are well-versed in these rules and will work diligently to gather, analyze, and present compelling evidence on your behalf to strengthen your case and improve your chances of success.

Our compassionate attorneys understand family law disputes’ emotional and financial challenges, such as divorce, child custody, and alimony. We provide personalized guidance and support throughout the process, working closely with you to understand your goals and priorities. Our team is skilled in negotiating fair settlements and, when necessary, advocating for your best interests in court. We aim to minimize stress and achieve favorable client outcomes by combining our legal aptitude with a sensitive approach.

Common legal problems in criminal defense include unlawful searches and seizures, violations of constitutional rights (such as the right to counsel or protection against self-incrimination), improperly obtained confessions, and issues with eyewitness identification (such as suggestive lineups). These issues can significantly impact the strength of the prosecution’s case and may even result in the dismissal of charges. The lawyers on our team will scrutinize every aspect of your case to identify and challenge any such issues, working hard to protect your rights.

In high-conflict child custody cases, our family law attorneys prioritize the child’s best interests while advocating for our client’s parental rights. We approach these cases with a combination of empathy, assertiveness, and strategic planning, working closely with clients to develop effective negotiation and litigation strategies. Our team may collaborate with other professionals to strengthen our client’s positions and achieve favorable custody arrangements. Fathers have rights in these issues as well and can sometimes be overlooked.

A plea bargain is an agreement reached between a defendant and a prosecutor in which the defendant agrees to plead guilty, or no contest, to some or all of the charges against them in exchange for a less severe sentence than they would have received if they had gone to trial. Plea bargains can benefit both sides of a criminal case by resulting in a much shorter trial and avoiding the risk of harsher punishment. However, plea bargains have some drawbacks that should be carefully considered before agreeing. One of the most significant disadvantages of a plea bargain is that it waives certain rights, such as the right to a trial and the right to appeal. Defendants who accept plea bargains are frequently required to enter guilty or no-contest pleas without knowing the specifics of the charges against them or the evidence that prosecutors have. As a result, defendants may receive harsher sentences than if they had gone to trial.
