Some lawyers talk about justice. Stephen fights for it, one client at a time.
Every day, Stephen hears it from good people caught in bad moments: “I’m not the person these charges make me sound like I am.”
He knows they’re right because one mistake shouldn’t define a life. That truth fuels every argument he makes, every motion he files, and every verdict he wins. Stephen became a lawyer to make sure people are seen for who they are, not for what they’re accused of.
The Foundation of a Fighter
Stephen started his legal career deep inside the system as a bailiff in the Tulsa County Courthouse, working directly beside the very judges who decide criminal cases. For eight years, he stood at the right hand of both District and Special Judges, managing misdemeanor and felony dockets and eventually serving the Chief/Presiding Judge in high-stakes trials. That insider experience gave him rare insight into how judges think, how cases are won, and how to read a courtroom before he ever argued in one.
Driven to master the craft, Stephen earned his law degree from the University of Tulsa College of Law, where he received the CALI Award for top performance in his class. He also studied abroad at University College Dublin School of Law in Ireland, broadening his perspective and sharpening his legal instincts.
He never stopped learning. From forensic science to cutting-edge defense tactics, Stephen continues to train nationally alongside the best in the field to stay ahead of the police technologies and prosecution strategies used against his clients.
Experience. Dedication. Results.
Before entering private practice, Stephen served on the Felony Docket for the Public Defender’s Office, where he gained firsthand experience defending some of Oklahoma’s toughest cases. That work built the foundation for his trial skills and sharpened his instincts for protecting the accused when the odds seem impossible.
Since then, Stephen has transformed that experience into consistent courtroom victories, representing clients in both misdemeanor and felony cases across the state.
He has gone head to head with Oklahoma’s top prosecutors in high-stakes trials involving first-degree murder and manslaughter, standing firm when everything is on the line. Today, he brings that same tenacity, preparation, and precision to every case he takes, whether it involves DUI, drug possession, assault, theft, burglary, domestic violence, or other serious criminal offenses, helping hundreds of Oklahomans move forward without a criminal record defining their future.
Stephen is no stranger to the spotlight. Alongside his father, Bruce, and his brother, Jason, he has been interviewed about legal cases in national and local newspapers, as well as on major television networks including NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, and others.
Stephen’s commitment and courtroom skill have earned him the title of Super Lawyer, recognition reserved for the top attorneys in Oklahoma.
Today, his practice is 100% dedicated to criminal defense. No divorces. No civil cases. Just pure, aggressive defense for people whose lives, freedom, and reputations are on the line.
Because when the State has an entire team coming after you, you deserve someone whose only mission is to fight back.
