Still She Rises – Tulsa, OK

Holistic Defense for Mothers in North Tulsa

In the heart of North Tulsa, a revolutionary legal organization is changing the landscape of public defense. Still She Rises is the first holistic defense office in the United States dedicated exclusively to representing mothers. Founded in 2017, this non-profit organization was established to address a critical crisis: the high rate of female incarceration in Oklahoma. Recognizing that legal problems rarely exist in a vacuum, Still She Rises adopts a client-centered, holistic approach that goes far beyond the courtroom. They honor the dignity of the women they serve, fighting not just for legal victories, but for the stability and unity of families.

More Than Just a Law Firm

Still She Rises understands that a criminal charge is often just the tip of the iceberg. Their team includes not only zealous criminal defense attorneys but also civil attorneys, family defense attorneys, social workers, and client advocates. This interdisciplinary model allows them to address the root causes of legal system involvement. Whether a mother is facing criminal allegations, eviction, or the removal of her children by the state, the team works in unison to provide a fortress of support. By handling these interconnected issues under one roof, they prevent the cascading consequences that can destroy a family’s future.

• Criminal Defense: Aggressive representation for mothers facing misdemeanor and felony charges, with a focus on keeping them in the community.
• Eviction Defense: Fighting to keep families housed by challenging unfair landlord practices and wrongful evictions.
• Family Defense: Representing mothers in child welfare proceedings to prevent family separation and advocate for reunification.
• Social Work Support: Connecting clients with essential resources like healthcare, housing assistance, and employment services.

Community-Centered and Compassionate

The office on East 46th Street North was specifically designed to be a welcoming sanctuary, starkly contrasting the cold, institutional feel of most legal offices. It features warm spaces, private consultation rooms, and even a "Book Nook" for children, ensuring that mothers feel respected and safe. The staff at Still She Rises are deeply embedded in the North Tulsa community, working to dismantle systemic barriers and advocate for policy changes that benefit all residents. Their work is driven by the belief that when you lift up a mother, you lift up her entire family and community.
