The Best in Tulsa!
Sabah is the best at what he does! He worked diligently to get my charges dropped and was very helpful and always quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had. His confidence in my case and what he does made me feel better and calmed my nerves. I highly recommend Sabah!

Best ever!
I was extremely nervous and scared about the entire DUI process. It was my first time to ever be pulled over and taken to jail for a DUI. I asked a million annoying questions, and he answered each and every one of them. My case took a very long time and Sabah was patient with me and walked me through it step by step ensuring me we were taking the best route to get the best outcome. I'm so grateful I listened and had him fighting for me. He won my case and I am so appreciative of all of the hard work he put into my case. I would most definitely recommend Sabah to anyone and everyone. He's a great guy and an awesome attorney!

Sabah is a well educated lawyer. He does his research and is very well respected among his colleagues and in the court house. He speaks loud and clear without any hesitation. He has great communication with his clients. He kept me notified about the status of my case. I felt very confident with Sabah representing me.

Best Dui/ Drug Attorney in Tulsa!
I was facing a felony drug conviction ( after former conviction of a felony) and was looking at going to prison .. The driver of my car was riding dirty and I had no idea. Sabah was understanding, courteous , professional and went above and beyond - I ended up getting a felony dropped and got probation and about 1,000 of fines.. My crime carried a penalty of up to five years , I was freaking out !! Sabah always answered my e mails and text day and night , showed up to court on time and prepared and calmed me down when I was tripping ! I have known Sabah for years and to spite all His success he is still one of the most down to earth , and compassionate people I know ! Don't get Caught holding .. But if you do - you better call Sabah !

Great attorney
I have known Sabah for several years. He is a great attorney and an even better person. As an attorney myself, I have referred several cases to Sabah. All the individuals that I referred to Sabah have expressed to me that Sabah handled all of their matters quickly, with a favorable result and for a fair price. Sabah's legal acumen is matched only by his passion for his clients. He works tirelessly for each one of his clients and I firmly believe he legitimately cares about the future and well-being of every individual that hires him. If you want an attorney that will fight for you and your rights, hire Sabah.

Excellent experience
My experience with Sabah Khalaf was exactly what I would want from an attorney. Attorney fees are not cheap and one should certainly get expertise and service for the money spent. That is exactly what I got. Sabah knew the process of dealing with the court system and how to protect my rights as a citizen. If I had to do it again I would DEFINITELY use Sabah Khalaf. Thankyou Sabah!

Mutliple offenses-Dismissed!!
I recently put my self through 3 back to back offenses, DUI, DWI, and then a public intoxication. From the first meeting I had with Sabah, he made me feel very confident in his abilities to take care of me and my situation and he did it!!! Miraculously obtaining 3 dismissals, after probation periods!! He also treated me with the upmost respect throughout my year long adventure! I would recommend Sabah before anyone else!!

Better Call Sabah!
Sabah was fantastic to work with. He handled my case with diligence and expertise. I never planned to get caught holding, but when I did I was glad to have Sabah in my corner.

Possesion w/ Intent
Police served a search warrant on me at my house. I was arrested for possession w/ intent(228 grams of marijuana), no tax stamp, and possession of 4 firearms In commission of a felony. I contacted Sabah Khalaf to represent me for my charges. Sabah was very knowledgeable in how a search warrant was susposed to be served and the charges that were brought against me. The firearm charges were never filed but the possession w/ intent charges were filed. This was a second felony arrest for me so getting a good deal was going to be tough. Sabah informed me the search warrant was solid after reviewing the evidence brought upon me in the case. We spoke about how best to approach the case from a defendant standpoint as well as what he believed would be the prosocuters angle and thoughts. Being a prosocuter before coming a defendant lawyer, Sabah was very knowledagble of how both sides of the system worked. After not much back and forth between him and the prosocuter, Sabah was able to show that I was in college and used this to get me a 4 year deffered sentence. I was very happy with this decision as I was looking at my second strike. Sabah's legal fees were very reasonable and I was able to make 3 seperate payments over the course of a month to him for him to represent me. I would reccomend Mr. Khalaf to anyone charged with a drug crime as he worked hard to get me what I felt was a fair deal in the end and he did it in a timely manner that was right for my case and my situation.
