Biography

Charles grew up in a family construction business and has been dealing with contracts and legal issues for over 30 years. He went to law school to reduce cost in the business, however during this time found a new passion in helping people through the legal hurdles that we all face at some point in time in our life.

Charles has been married to his wife Gina since 2003 and they have an adopted daughter whom they have had since birth. Actually since day one, as they were in the birthing room when she was born. Going through the adoption process has given us insight and experience from the clients view and understand the stress that comes along with an adoption, not to mention they have also undergone the stress of three failed IVF rounds, so understanding that stress and expense is nothing new to them either.

Charles focuses mostly on Family Law issues, such as Guardianships, Divorce, Custody or Visitation, and Adoptions. However, he is also very adept with Construction Law, general Business Law, and Tax Law.

Legal Answers
Q. Can a 15-year-old in OK choose which parent to stay with in a custody dispute?
A: Your preference is only a factor the court will consider when determining your best interest. There are multiple factors the judge uses and yes you preference is one of those factors.

You would need one of your parents to contact their lawyer and insert the preference. Good luck.
Q. Are sheriff’s deputies required to give their name and badge number upon request?
A: I assume you are speaking of Major County sheriff deputies as you mentioned Fairview. A common misconception is the only law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction within city limits is the city themselves. However, this is incorrect. The City of Fairview is located inside Major County; therefore a Deputy has jurisdiction as well because they have jurisdiction throughout the entire county. Oklahoma Highway Patrol even though not a city or county agency would also have jurisdiction on Highway 60 or 58. OBN would have jurisdiction because they have Statewide jurisdiction. So, to answer your question, they do not have to be called or dispatched to insert themselves into the situation.



If they have body cams, then those would be accessible to the public through the Freedom of Information Act as public record. From your facts, there does not appear to be any illegal action taken by the Law Enforcement Agency.

Q. the city of Tulsa has a lien on my house. my house in on muscogee creek nation land.
A: Get with your tribe, however, a lot of people want to claim McGirt changed this, however, it has been ruled and there is controlling law that it does NOT affect land ownership and therefore based on your limited facts, the city has not violated any rights to this point as it is a presumably valid lien.
