Very recently, I successfully re-united a divorced father with his Oklahoma son, who had been unable to return to Oklahoma from his Eastern seaboard home due to financial constraints. I did not take the case expecting to become wealthy, and charged very little. That said, I made myself available as needed, even beyond normal business hours, and was able to secure visitation that to him, once seemed impossible and unaffordable to seek.

It boils down, in my view, to trust between the attorney and client. To me, that means following through, and remaining objective, and not being afraid to share good news or bad news - so long as the client's best interests are kept in mind.

Experience is important. I have been a Member of the Oklahoma Bar Association for over a decade and focused exclusively on Family Law cases. However, there must be mutual trust and respect between the attorney and client. The client should never feel talked down to, nor patronized. She or he should always trust that the attorney is honest, forthright and will always provide sound, credible advice based upon education, experience, and knowledge of the law.

It certainly helps, but in the end, the law is the same in every county at the state level. I have practiced in a number of counties, and while the peculiarities of the locality may vary, the ability to utilize my skills and knowledge have seen me through even in new places.

I am very active in the community. I am church member, and serve in leadership roles in the church and in volunteer work. I work with people of all faiths, or even no faith, though in my personal life, it helps me. What I find most rewarding is helping others in whatever capacity I can. I am pursuing a Masters in Social Work in Tulsa at nights and on weekends to supplement my legal skills. So, obviously, helping people of all backgrounds, races, classes, religions, genders, and socioeconomic status is what drives me to do my professional work and my work in the community.
