About

A lifetime of law, all in your corner.

01

Background

Over 40 years of practice across a wide spectrum of law. Michael's career has taken him from the prosecutor's table to the judge's bench, giving him an insider's understanding of how the legal system actually works. His practice now focuses on DUI defense and tribal law — areas where deep experience matters most.

02

On Fees

Clients often ask why Michael's fees are so reasonable. The short answer: he isn't greedy. The student loans are paid off. The cars are paid off. He has practiced long enough that he doesn't need to charge three to six times the going rate. Decades of high-level legal experience, without the inflated price tag.

03

Still Sharp

Michael has been at this for a long time, but don't let that fool you. He plays pickleball most days and works through three New York Times puzzles every morning to keep his mind razor-edged. Experience and sharpness aren't mutually exclusive — with Michael, you get both.

Reviews

What clients say.

Five-star reviews from Google Maps clients across Tulsa.

“Mike had my back from the first phone call. He was straight with me about my options, charged a fair fee, and got me the best outcome I could have hoped for. Forty years of experience really shows.”

Robert M.

Google Maps review

“After a stressful arrest I was terrified. Michael calmed me down, explained the process, and walked me through every step. He treats you like a person, not a case number.”

Jennifer A.

Google Maps review

“I called three other attorneys and Michael was the only one who answered the phone himself. His fee was a fraction of the others and he handled my DUI like a pro. Highly recommend.”

Daniel C.

Google Maps review

“Sharp, professional, and experienced. He knew the prosecutor, the judge, and exactly how to argue my case. Worth every penny — and his fee was very reasonable.”
