Federal Public Defender – Tulsa, OK

Federal Defense for the Northern District

The Federal Public Defender for the Northern District of Oklahoma provides top-tier legal representation to individuals charged with federal crimes who cannot afford to hire a private attorney. Unlike state courts, the federal system has its own set of complex rules, sentencing guidelines, and procedures. The attorneys at this office are specialists in federal criminal law, handling everything from white-collar fraud and drug trafficking conspiracies to firearms offenses and internet crimes. Their mission is grounded in the Sixth Amendment, ensuring that every defendant receives a vigorous defense regardless of their financial status.

• Experienced Trial Lawyers: Attorneys who focus exclusively on federal court litigation.
• Investigative Support: In-house investigators who track down witnesses and uncover evidence to support the defense.
• Sentencing Mitigation: Specialists who prepare detailed reports to advocate for fair sentences, humanizing the client to the judge.
• Appellate Practice: Handling appeals to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals to challenge unjust convictions or sentences.

Located in Downtown Tulsa
