For more than two decades, Phillip P. Owens II has been fighting on behalf of individuals and families in Oklahoma City, Tulsa and throughout the state. Over his years in practice, he has learned what makes a good lawyer: strong research and writing skills, the ability to advocate for clients in court, and an instinct for when strategic negotiations can achieve legal objectives more efficiently. Just as importantly, he knows the importance of making the legal process simple and approachable for our clients. Whether they have a personal injury claim, a family law dispute or any other type of legal matter, handling the logistics alone can be daunting. Our responsibility is to handle the legal problems and allow you to focus on the other areas of your life.

I have always felt obligated to help others through what can be some of the hardest times of their lives. When someone is injured at work, without income, and not aware of their rights, I help them navigate the complicated field of workers’ compensation. The law does not always protect the injured worker, especially in Oklahoma, but I will never stop trying to help injured workers through either the court and/or commission or through the legislature. When not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my family on our ranch. I grew up farming and something has always drawn me back to it. It recharges my batteries. If you can’t find me at court or in the office, then I am likely at the ranch but never too far away to help.
