“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood…so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt
I have spent nearly two decades in the arena, daring greatly to serve the legal needs of my clients. Born and raised in Oklahoma, I learned the values of integrity, community, and perseverance. After earning my law degree in Kansas, I honed my skills over 17 years of practice in Wichita. Now, I have returned home to Oklahoma, driven by my desire to provide high-quality legal representation rooted in empathy, compassion and understanding.
In my career, I have represented hundreds of clients in high-stakes litigation in state and federal courts. I have taken on federal agencies, argued appeals before the 10th Circuit, and secured victories for clients at all stages. I’ve been recognized as by Best Lawyers since 2018, and I was named Best Lawyers’ 2022 and 2023 Lawyer of the Year, 2023 Super Lawyer rated, and AV Rated Preeminent.
While accolades are great, at Triad Legal, I lead a client-focused practice driven by the belief that everyone deserves respect, dignity, and zealous representation. Just as in my childhood, where grit and determination were the Oklahoma way, I bring an unwavering commitment to protect my clients’ rights and relentlessly pursue their success, no matter the challenge. Your defense starts here, with an attorney who will strive valiantly in the arena on your behalf.
I am proud to call Oklahoma home again and to serve my community with integrity, perseverance, and determination – values rooted deeply in my upbringing. My clients are at the heart of everything I do. I am honored to stand in their corner and fight for the outcomes they deserve.
