I’m an Oklahoma criminal defense attorney and the founder of The Urbanic Law Firm in Oklahoma City. My practice is devoted to defending people accused of crimes throughout Oklahoma, including DUI and APC, domestic violence, drug crimes, sex crimes, assault and battery, firearms offenses, theft and property crimes, and other misdemeanor and felony charges.
I’ve completed specialized training that I use in DUI defense, including Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST), Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE), and SFST Instructor training. That training helps me evaluate field sobriety testing, officer observations, and impairment evidence from the perspective of someone who’s been trained in how those tests are supposed to be administered and interpreted.
My commitment to criminal defense is rooted in my strong belief in constitutional rights and the principle that an accusation doesn’t define a person. Before becoming an attorney, I served in the United States Air Force, where my duties included supporting and defending the Constitution. I’ve carried that commitment into the courtroom, where I work to protect my clients’ rights, freedom, careers, and reputations when they’re facing criminal charges.
I earned my Juris Doctor from Texas Tech University School of Law, where I was elected to the Order of the Coif. I’ve also earned an MBA from the University of Oklahoma and a Bachelor of Science from Texas A&M University.
My professional involvement has included membership in the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the National College for DUI Defense, the Oklahoma Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, the Oklahoma County Bar Association, and the Oklahoma Bar Association. I’ve also been recognized by Super Lawyers as a Rising Star and by The National Trial Lawyers.
When I take on a case, I’m looking closely at the government’s evidence, identifying weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, and developing a defense strategy that’s tailored to the client and the consequences at stake. I want my clients to understand what they’re facing, what their options are, and what we can do to pursue the best possible outcome.
