Criminal Defense in Stillwater

Nearly 20 Years Defending State & Federal Criminal Cases

An arrest, investigation, or criminal charge can force immediate decisions about police contact, release conditions, court dates, and evidence. I represent people facing felony and misdemeanor allegations connected to Stillwater and Payne County, including matters in state and federal court. My first priority is to determine where your case stands and identify which decisions can’t wait.

I offer a free one-hour consultation to discuss the accusation, review available documents, and outline potential next steps. Virtual initial meetings are available, so you can begin the conversation without visiting an office.

Call (405) 504-1858 to schedule your free one-hour consultation and discuss your criminal case directly with me.

Defense for a Wide Range of Criminal Allegations

The appropriate defense strategy depends on the allegations, available evidence, court jurisdiction, and whether charges have been filed. I handle matters ranging from misdemeanor investigations to complex felony and federal cases.

My criminal defense practice includes:

  • Drug crimes: State or federal allegations involving possession, distribution, trafficking, or related conduct.
  • Federal crimes: Investigations and charges handled within the federal court system.
  • Felony criminal defense: Serious charges that can expose a defendant to substantial penalties and long-term consequences.
  • Juvenile crimes: Allegations involving minors and the procedures that apply in juvenile cases.
  • Sex crimes: Investigations and charges involving alleged sexual misconduct.
  • Title IX matters: Proceedings involving Title IX, the federal civil rights law addressing sex discrimination in education.
  • Violent crimes: Allegations involving assault, threats, weapons, or other claimed acts of violence.
  • White-collar crimes: Financial and business-related allegations such as fraud or embezzlement.

Work Directly With Me Throughout Your Case

You’ll work directly with me rather than being passed to a junior attorney or staff member. I remain involved, explain significant developments, and discuss decisions that require your input. This direct communication keeps deadlines, questions, and case priorities clear.

I bring nearly 20 years of legal practice and experience handling hundreds of cases. My background as both a defense attorney and a prosecutor gives me insight into how criminal allegations are investigated, evaluated, and presented from both sides of the courtroom.

Confirm the Court, Case Number, & Deadlines

The Payne County District Court is located in Stillwater and handles criminal filings within the county. If your paperwork identifies that court, note the case number, charge classification, release conditions, and next scheduled date before speaking with an attorney. These details clarify what has happened and which issues may require prompt attention.

Don’t assume your case will follow the same schedule or procedure as someone else’s. Requirements vary based on the court, allegations, filing status, and orders entered in each case. Rely on your paperwork and the official case record to verify dates and obligations.

Preparing for Your Free Criminal Defense Consultation

You don’t need to have every answer before contacting me. Bringing the documents and facts currently available, however, can make the first conversation more productive and help me assess your immediate concerns.

If available, gather the following materials:

  • Charging documents, citations, or copies of a warrant
  • Bond, release, or booking paperwork
  • Court notices and upcoming hearing dates
  • Protective orders or other restrictions
  • Names and contact information provided by law enforcement
  • A written timeline of relevant events

During the consultation, I can review the available details and documents, address time-sensitive concerns, and outline potential next steps. Until you’ve received advice specific to your situation, don’t post publicly about the allegations or discuss the facts with investigators without counsel.

Discuss Your Criminal Case Directly With Me

If you’re under investigation, have been arrested, or are approaching a court date, I can provide direct guidance based on your circumstances. Be prepared to share the allegation, court information, case number, upcoming dates, and any paperwork you’ve received. I can use the consultation to identify immediate concerns and explain what may come next.
