Attorney Information
Overview
I am an attorney at law for Mitchell-DeClerck, Oklahoma’s Oldest Law Firm.
I love business/corporate law, contracts law, commercial litigation, oil & gas law, real property law, wills, trusts, & estates law, and bankruptcy law.
I love business law and the legal issues that arise in it, such as contracts & agreements, commercial deals, negotiations, corporate governance, fiduciary duties of corporate officers, or even just business formation. Helping entrepreneurs, businesses, and our economy to thrive and be successful is a worthy mission. That way, they can provide for their families & loved ones and provide a good product that society would enjoy. Efficient commerce is a good goal. It’s necessary for our society to thrive.
But being fair & honest when engaging in efficient commerce is just as necessary. We desire efficient commerce - but ALWAYS under the driving principles of good faith & fair dealing.
I love being civically involved in my city's community, politics, & business scene because I greatly love my hometown, Enid, OK, and I want to make her the best place imaginable. Enid’s given me a lot to be grateful for - I can’t help but give back.
I attended the mighty Michigan State University for my undergrad. I love MSU, and it will always be my alma mater. At MSU, I worked as a legal intern in a general practice law firm, Okemos Legal Group, PLLC. I also worked part-time at Jimmy John's to work my way through my undergrad, as well.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
