How can you tell if you have the right defense lawyer? Well if you are in Oklahoma and facing legal charges, you will know immediately that you have the right lawyer after a few minutes with Jim Drummond! I have personally witnessed Jim's trial skills in action: his ability to discover the 'real' story and seek the truth of the matter puts him in a league above most attorneys. Through his natural ability to navigate to the truth of the matter coupled with the highly specialized trial training from Gerry Spence's trial college, Jim is capable of fighting for Justice and he is the lawyer you need in your corner!

I had the pleasure of attending Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyer's College with Jim.

I encourage you to call Jim if you or a family member has been charged with a crime.
