Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Criminal Charges In Oklahoma

What should I do immediately after being arrested?

Exercise your right to remain silent — do not make any statements to police beyond your name and basic identification. Do not consent to searches beyond what is legally required. Contact a criminal defense attorney immediately. The sooner I'm involved, the more I can do to protect your rights.

How much does a criminal defense attorney cost?

Fees depend on the charge and complexity of the case. I offer free initial consultations and transparent pricing with no hidden fees. I believe quality defense should be accessible, and I'll give you a clear quote before any work begins.

Is a first-offense DUI a felony in Oklahoma?

A first-offense DUI is a misdemeanor, carrying up to 1 year in jail and fines up to $1,000. However, a second DUI within 10 years becomes a felony with 1 to 5 years in prison. Aggravated DUI (BAC of 0.15% or higher) carries enhanced penalties even on a first offense. You also have only 30 days to challenge your license revocation.

Is drug possession still a felony in Oklahoma?

Since State Question 780, simple possession of a controlled substance is a misdemeanor for first and second offenses — maximum 1 year in jail and a $1,000 fine. However, possession with intent to distribute and trafficking remain serious felonies with mandatory minimum sentences.

Can my criminal record be cleared after a conviction?

In many cases, yes. Oklahoma's expungement laws allow eligible individuals to seal dismissed cases, deferred sentences, and certain nonviolent convictions from public view. I offer expungement services and can assess your eligibility during our consultation.

Do you offer payment plans?

I understand that legal costs add stress on top of an already difficult situation. Contact my office to discuss your options — I work to make quality criminal defense accessible and will be upfront about all costs from the start.
