Best Family Law Attorney

Mr. Pierce was recommended by a friend who practices law in Oklahoma. I hired him to help me in a case regarding my 4 year old daughter. She lives with me and my new husband, who is her legally-recognized father. I was brought to court when a man I knew around the time my daughter was conceived enter...ed an order for paternity, allowed it to lapse over the course of nearly 3 years, and then hired a lawyer to ask for a DNA test. My first attorney (not Mr. Pierce) was unable to block that order for DNA (even though the petition had been dismissed for want of prosecution, my husband was not made a party as the legally-recognized father, and there was no GAL or representative appointed for my child). Needless to say, Mr. Pierce was brought in and placed behind the 8-ball. Even still, he fought hard for us and was able to get a GAL appointed and got the DNA test dismissed. (We are still in process). I only wish that I had hired him to begin with, because his knowledge of the law, his diligence, and his dogged determination to fight for justice (not to mention his genuine investment in the best interests of children) makes him the best lawyer I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He has fought tooth and nail for my family, and no matter the outcome, I will never regret hiring him. I recommend him very highly to anyone who cares about serving the best interests of their children. He is good-natured, very intelligent and never shies away from speaking his mind. He will research (and research... and then research some more) and then fight like hell for you. The best part is: He COMMUNICATES with his clients. He explains the law, he navigates you through the oft-confusing process, asks questions, defers to you for your thoughts and truly wants to know your goals and what you are willing to do to get the best results. He is a rarity in this aspect. Simply put, he is an excellent attorney and advocate for families. If you need a family law attorney... this is the person you want.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
