Debra Lynn Self

I was born and raised in Oklahoma City.  My legal background is diverse and includes serving the citizens of Oklahoma as a judicial law clerk, criminal prosecutor, corporate attorney and private practitioner. Prior to becoming an attorney, I owned multiple performing arts businesses.  My favorite cases allow me to use all of these skill sets to help my clients with creative and unique resolutions to complex legal issues. I am actively involved in the community and an avid supporter of the arts.  Below is a list of my professional and community activities.
