Finding your family in a legal crisis is unfamiliar territory. “What do I do now” is often the first question I get, followed quickly by “how much will this cost?” I appreciate the opportunity to visit with people about how they want to handle these difficult life transitions. It is important to be informed about your options so that you can proceed in the manner that best fits your needs. I provide legal services for fixed fees. This helps bring some certainty to an often-confusing circumstance.

In 2012, I was accepted into the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML). AAML attorneys pass rigorous testing and peer review to make sure they represent the competence, professionalism and integrity in family law that the organization requires. Family Law attorneys certified by the AAML have substantial experience and are able to handle complex divorce-related matters. There are about 1600 AAML attorneys nationwide.

Since 2017, I have been listed in the publication Best Lawyers In America, the most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession. My firm, the Tulsa Family Law Center, PLLC, is listed by Best Lawyers among the best law firms in Oklahoma for family law.
