  • Many legal issues seem simple at first, but small mistakes can turn into big problems. Whether it’s a contract, a real estate deal, or a business dispute, having a lawyer ensures you’re protected and making the best decisions.

Construction Law

  • Yes. Construction projects often involve complex contracts, technical issues, and multiple parties. Having a lawyer assures your rights are protected and disputes are resolved effectively, whether through negotiation or litigation.

  • Absolutely. We represent builders defending against claims and property owners seeking resolution for issues like defects or unfinished work. Our approach provides practical solutions for both sides.

  • Yes, we serve clients across Oklahoma, from the metro to rural areas, offering accessible legal support wherever it’s needed.

Contract Law

  • Because a poorly written contract can cost you everything. Whether it's vague terms, hidden loopholes, or missing protections, a bad contract can leave you financially and legally exposed. A contract lawyer reviews your agreements to confirm that they are clear, enforceable, and structured to protect your interests—so you’re not left scrambling if something goes wrong.

  • Yes. We specialize in contracts that hold up under real-world conditions—from builder agreements to high-value property transactions.

  • If the other party doesn’t follow through on their obligations, we step in to enforce the contract and protect your rights. Depending on the situation, we may pursue financial recovery, contract termination, or legal action to hold them accountable. The key is having a well-drafted contract in place so you have the leverage to act when needed.

  • Most disputes happen because contracts are unclear, one-sided, or missing key details. We take a proactive approach by drafting contracts that leave no room for misinterpretation. Our contracts define responsibilities, timelines, and dispute resolution mechanisms upfront—so you don’t waste time or money fighting over unclear terms later.

  • Absolutely. We work with entrepreneurs, contractors, and business owners to build solid agreements that prevent legal issues before they arise.

Civil Litigation

  • If you’ve suffered financial harm due to a contract breach, property dispute, or construction defect, you may have a case. We evaluate the strength of your claim, potential evidence, and the best strategy to pursue.

  • No. Many disputes can be resolved through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration—saving you time and legal fees. However, if the other party refuses to cooperate, we’re fully prepared to take your case to trial.

  • Litigation can be costly and time-consuming, which is why we always explore resolution options first. However, when the stakes are high, going to court may be the best way to protect your assets and enforce your rights.

  • Every case is different, but litigation can take months or even years, depending on complexity. We focus on efficient, strategic case management to keep your case moving forward.

  • Do not ignore the lawsuit—delaying your response could lead to a default judgment against you. Contact us immediately so we can assess your options and build a strong defense.
