We retained George Brown of Brown & Flesch to assist us with a dispute involving an insurance company. George and his staff promptly answered our questions and got to work on the problem. George provided timely, competent advice and explained the different issues and the risks involved. With the assistance of George, we were able to reach an agreement with the insurance company for the payment of our claim. We highly recommend George and Brown & Flesch for all of your legal needs. If you want a team who is on your side and will get you the result that you need, then you should give them a call. We will certainly contact Brown & Flesch again in the future if we are in need of legal services. Excellent job!

I have nothing but good comments to report on my experience working with Matt Fleischer. My sister and I were the executors of our mother's trust after she passed away. Her mineral rights assets had not been entered into the trust, so we hired Matt to probate them over to a new trust for us. We did not live in Oklahoma but Matt took care of everything and was very easy to work with. He let us know up front what the total cost would be and each step of the process, including court dates, documents we would need to provide and/or get notarized, etc. Everything was handled via phone and email, with certain documents eventually being mailed. Fees were right in line compared to other firms in OK. Finally, I don't think I ever called Matt where he himself didn't answer the phone - that is what I call responsive and helpful. I would recommend Matt's firm to anyone needing legal help in Oklahoma!

I filled out my form for a consultation Saturday night, and James Belote called me back the next day one Sunday to talk about my accident. They dealt with the insurance company and got me enough to be able to reset myself financially and finally recover from both my accident and having to pay for another car. Wonderful office! Everything was done via email, text, or phone call which made it easy for me. 100% reccomend!

Mr. Henry was a Chickasaw Nation court expert and seemed to know all the lawyers on both sides of the aisle and all the judges. Almost like a celebrity. We found out later that he is the Chickasaw Nation drug court defense lawyer too. He seemed very busy but kept in touch and most importantly got the felony dismissed and a wonderful no jail misdemeanor....Great Lawyering!

I can’t say enough good things about Adam Banner. He helped our family at an incredible time of need. He always answered my calls/emails. He was a listening ear when I needed one, gave good council when I asked for it, and was with me every step of the way. He knew my case in and out and got a dismissal for me and my family. He will work harder than any attorney out there. I’m sure there are a lot of good ones, but Adam has separated himself from them, in my opinion. He was upfront about the costs involved and delivered the best result we could have asked for. If you find yourself in need of an attorney, you came to the right place. Adam Banner can be trusted.

His words resonated with the jury! My family and I will be forever grateful for the hard work and dedication he put into my case.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
