Some Trials I have Completed:
Jury Trial, September 18-20, 2017, Tulsa County, Oklahoma
My client was charged with 1st degree Burglary. He was facing 21 years to life and anyone sentenced to prison for this crime must complete 85% of his sentence. The state presented an eyewitness claiming my client attempted to break into her home. However, I was able to discredit her identification and showed how the police had wrongly suggested and encouraged her to identify my client. The police also made many errors in investigating the case, which I brought out to the jury. When it was all over the jury returned a verdict of NOT GUILTY.
Jury Trial, January 27-28, 2015, Tulsa County, Oklahoma
My client was charged with 2nd degree Burglary. The plea offer from the state was 5 years in prison. The state would not offer any kind of probation in the case even though my client had no prior felony convictions. The punishment range is from 2 years to 7 years in prison. The jury found my client guilty but sentenced him to the minimum of 2 years. And we can still ask the judge for probation when my client is formally sentenced.
Jury Trial, January 20-21, 2015, Rogers County, Oklahoma
My client was just driving through Oklahoma with his legally obtained medical marijuana from Arizona when a traffic stop led to the police finding it. A felony possession charge was eventually filed because he had a prior marijuana conviction from Arizona.
I filed a Motion to Quash early on (asking the judge to dismiss the case) because the Oklahoma statute clearly says that you cannot possess CDS in Oklahoma unless it is obtained pursuant to a prescription or order from a practitioner. This was denied. I asked for a necessity jury instruction during the trial. Denied. A necessity instruction tells the jurors that they can find the defendant not guilty if they believe it was necessary for him to violate the law.
The jury panel was surprisingly very anti-marijuana. Even the DA said she had never had such a jury panel that was so anti-marijuana.
My client testified about why he used medical marijuana and how it helps him and how it allowed him to get off pain pills that caused him terrible side effects. He testified he was just passing through Oklahoma on his way to Ohio and how he could not be without his medication for more than a day or two.
After about 4 or 5 hours of deliberation, the jury came back and found my client NOT GUILTY of possession of paraphernalia but were unable to reach a verdict on the count of possession of marijuana. Therefore, a mistrial was declared on the possession charge. After the mistrial, this case was scheduled to go to trial again. On the eve of trial, the state dismissed the case.
Jury Trial, October 20-22, 2014, Wagoner County, Oklahoma
My client was charged with Felony Domestic Violence and was looking at a range of punishment from 4 years to life in prison. The plea offer before trial was 15 years. At the trial, I asked the jury to find my client not guilty of the felony and to convict him of Misdemeanor Domestic Violence and sentence him to one year in jail. That is exactly what the jury did. My client has already served over a year in jail, so his time was already served.
Jury Trial, March 18, 2014, Okmulgee County, Oklahoma
This is another trial that I completed all of the pre-trial work for but did not actually take to trial. My client was charged with DUI-Drugs for allegedly driving his car while under the influence of marijuana. I filed many pre-trial motions and was well prepared for the trial when the DA dismissed the case the day before trial was to begin.
Jury Trial, October 24, 2013, Broken Arrow Municipal Court, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma
My client was charged with Possession of Marijuana. I actually did not complete this trial because when my client and I showed up for trial, the city prosecutor dismissed the case.
Jury Trial, September 12-13, 2011, Delaware County, Oklahoma
My client was charged with Felony Eluding. My client was facing a range of punishment of 3 years to life in prison. Because of my client’s extensive prior felony convictions, the plea agreement offered by the District Attorney was 20 years in prison. The jury convicted my client of Misdemeanor Eluding and sentenced him to 1 year in the county jail.
Jury Trial, June 13-16, 2011, Okmulgee County, Oklahoma
My client was charged with First Degree Murder. My client was facing a penalty of life or life without parole if convicted. After a four day trial, the jury convicted my client of First Degree Manslaughter and sentenced him to 15 years in prison.
Jury Trial, April 20-22, 2009, Tulsa County Juvenile Court, Oklahoma
My juvenile client was charged with 2 counts of lewd molestation of two younger male relatives. The jury found my client NON DELINQUENT, which is the juvenile court’s equivalent of NOT GUILTY.
Jury Trial, June 2008, Okmulgee County, Oklahoma
Second trial of my client charged with Manslaughter in the Second Degree. Jury found my client NOT GUILTY.
Jury Trial, March 2008, Okmulgee County, Oklahoma
Client charged with Manslaughter in the Second Degree. Jury deadlocked after 8 1/2 hours of deliberation with 10 jurors voting NOT GUILTY. Case is scheduled for trial again in June 2008.
Jury Trial, January 2008, Creek County, Oklahoma
Client charged with the felony offense of Assault and Battery Upon a Law Enforcement Officer and facing a punishment of 4 years to life in state prison. The jury found my client guilty of the lesser misdemeanor offense of Resisting a Peace Officer. My client was sentence to one year in the county jail.
Jury Trial, January 2005, Tulsa County, Oklahoma
Client charged with Sexually Abusing a Minor Child and Exhibiting Obscene Material. The judge dismissed the Exhibiting Obscene Material charge before trial. The jury found my client NOT GUILTY of Sexually Abusing a Minor Child.
Jury Trial, June 2004, Tulsa County, Oklahoma
Client charged with Lewd Molestation. During deliberations the jury asked the judge if they could sentence my client to time served. The judge instructed the jury that they must sentence my client to the minimum of 1 year in prison. They jury returned a verdict of guilty and sentenced my client to 1 year in prison. With credit for time served, my client was released about 3 months later. The offer made by the assistant district attorney to settle the case as part of a plea bargain before trial was 7 years in prison.
Jury Trial, May 2003, Seward County, Kansas
Client charged with the following: 1. Aggravated Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer; 2. Obstructing Official Duty; 3. Criminal Damage to Property; 4. Possession of Cocaine, 2nd Offense; 5. Possession of Drug Paraphernalia; 6. Possession of Marijuana; 7. No Tax Drug Stamp; 8. Criminal Threat. The judge dismissed the Criminal Threat Charge after the State presented its evidence. The jury found the client NOT GUILTY of Possession of Cocaine, 2nd Offense, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Possession of Marijuana, and No Tax Drug Stamp. Although my client was convicted of counts 1 – 3, he received a punishment far less than the county attorney offered as part of a plea bargain before the trial.
Jury Trial, November 2002, Finney County, Kansas
Client charged with 5 counts of felony theft. Jury found client NOT GUILTY on all counts.
Jury Trial, May 2002, Seward County, Kansas
Client charged with felony DUI. Jury found client NOT GUILTY.
Dismissed Cases
I do not have a complete list of all of the cases that I have had dismissed for an illegal search and seizure or for lack of evidence. If I had such a list it would number well over 100–too many to list here. However, here is a partial list of some of the cases that have been dismissed pursuant to motions I filed:
Case Dismissed by District Attorney, May 22, 2020, Creek County District Court, Sapulpa, Oklahoma
My client was arrested for trafficking after a search warrant was executed at his house. I filed a Motion to Quash the search warrant. The DA did not even file a response and agreed to my motion. My client was released from jail that day.
Three Motions to Suppress, November 21, 2019, Wagoner County District Court, Wagoner, Oklahoma
Three clients were on the docket. The first two were in the same car. One charged with DUI-Drugs and Possession of Marijuana. The other charged with Possession of Marijuana. The third client was charged with Possession of Marijuana. I filed a Motion to Suppress in all three. The DA just announced that I was right and dismissed all three cases. The DA did not even make me put on a hearing.
Felony Dismissed by District Attorney, November 18, 2019, Tulsa County District Court, Tulsa, Oklahoma
My client got into a verbal altercation with a guy at a business. The guy lied and said my client also pulled out his penis and shook it at him. So my client gets charged with Count 1 Indecent Exposure and Count 2 Threatening an Act of Violence. The DA wanted prison time, and any conviction of Indecent Exposure leads to sex offender registration. The case was ready for trial. The DA kept coming down on the offer for Count 1. I said no every time. Finally, the DA dismissed Count 1, and my client took 1 year probation on the misdemeanor Count 2.
Case Dismissed by District Attorney, October 25, 2019, Creek County District Court, Sapulpa, Oklahoma
My client was the driver of a car that had 6 other people in it. The police found pounds of meth in the baggage of one of the passengers and, of course, charged everyone in the car with trafficking. My client was offered 25 years in prison. The state agreed to a polygraph for my client. He passed the polygraph saying he knew nothing of the meth. The state dismissed. He went home to Missouri that day.
Motion to Suppress, October 10, 2019, Wagoner County District Court, Wagoner, Oklahoma
My client was charged with DUI-Drugs and Possession of Marijuana after being pulled over for having no rear-view mirror. However, Oklahoma law does not require a car be equipped with a rear-view mirror as long as the car has two side mirrors. The judge agreed with me that the stop was illegal, suppressed the evidence, and dismissed the case.
Case Dismissed by District Attorney, September 25, 2019, Adair County District Court, Stilwell, Oklahoma
My client was a passenger in a car pulled over by the police. The police found a trafficking amount of methamphetamine and a gun in the car. My client was charged with Trafficking Methamphetamine and Possession of a Firearm After Former Felony Conviction. Early on in the case, I filed a Motion to Quash arguing there was not enough evidence to believe my client possessed the methamphetamine. The judge agreed and dismissed that count. My client was being offered 8 years in prison on the gun charge. Days before trial, the district attorney started coming down on the plea offer. I said no each time a new offer was made. The day before trial was to begin, the district attorney dismissed the case.
Case Dismissed by District Attorney, August 22, 2017, Tulsa County District Court, Tulsa, Oklahoma
My client was charged with Kidnapping and Domestic Violence. The police had threatened my client’s wife with arrest if she did not fill out a police report the way they told her to. Of course, this led to the arrest of my client and the filing of bogus charges against him. I was able to get the entire case dismissed at Preliminary Hearing.
Case Dismissed by District Attorney, June 12, 2017, Tulsa County District Court, Tulsa, Oklahoma
My client was charged with False Pretense in an amount of money over $1000.00. This was a bogus case, and my client never took or disposed of the money she was accused of taking. I was able to get the case dismissed at Preliminary Hearing.
Case Dismissed by District Attorney, May 2, 2017, Tulsa County District Court, Tulsa, Oklahoma
My client was charged with Forgery – 2nd Degree. However, upon researching the law, I found that what my client was accused of doing was not a violation of the statute she was charged under. I presented all of my research to the DA, and he dismissed the case at Preliminary Hearing.
Motion to Suppress, October 7, 2016, Okmulgee County District Court, Okmulgee, Oklahoma
My client was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute after 5 pounds of marijuana was found in his car during a traffic stop by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. I was able to convince the judge that the marijuana was found during an illegal detention after the purpose of the traffic stop had been completed. My client was being offered 5 years in prison, but today he is a free man.
Case Dismissed by District Attorney, August 29, 2016, Tulsa County District Court, Tulsa, Oklahoma
My client was charged with illegally possessing a firearm for having a handgun when going through security at the Tulsa airport. My client had to leave town in a hurry because of an emergency hospitalization of his mother. His girlfriend packed his bag while he took a shower. Unbeknownst to the girlfriend, one of the pairs of rolled up socks she put in the bag contained a tiny .22 caliber revolver. We did all the preparation work for trial and had all of our witnesses lined up ready to go. When we showed up for trial, the district attorney dismissed the case.
Motion to Suppress, March 14, 2016, Tulsa County District Court, Tulsa, Oklahoma
My client was charged with Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Distribute. He was pulled over after being seen stopped in the parking lot of an office building at night. The arresting officer said he found my client’s car to be suspicious but was unable to point to specific facts that made him suspicious. It was a hard fight with the assistant district attorney who was suffering greatly from Reefer Madness, but in the end, the judge agreed with my recitation of the law and with my argument. My client went home a free man without a felony charge hanging over his head.
Case Dismissed by DA, February 7, 2016, Okmulgee County District Court, Okmulgee, Oklahoma
My client was charged with felony Possession of Marijuana because it was his second offense. His first offense had come about 20 years previous in another state. A highway patrol trooper pulled my client over for a completely fabricated “traffic violation” because he saw my client leaving a “known drug house.” I filed a Motion to Suppress prior to preliminary hearing. The district attorney kept trying to talk to me about the case to make a better and better plea offer. I repeatedly said no, no, no. The DA then dismissed the case right before the preliminary hearing was to begin.
Case Dismissed by DA, December 10, 2015, Wagoner County District Court, Wagoner, Oklahoma
My client was charged with Assault and Battery with a Deadly Weapon. I made it clear to the DA that it was a case of self-defense and that my client would not accept any plea offer. The case would go to trial. The DA dismissed the case on the eve of preliminary hearing.
Case Dismissed by DA, October 19, 2015, Wagoner County District Court, Wagoner, Oklahoma
A grandmother and her grandson were my clients. Grandma was charged with transferring a firearm to a felon, her grandson. Grandson was charge with possession of a firearm while under the influence. The problem is that the grandson was not a felon and never possessed the gun. The police did a sloppy job on their reports mixing up people and mixing up what the witnesses said happened. The DA called me up about a week before trial shocked, just shocked, that my clients would not plead guilty to something they did not do since they were being offered a very favorable deferred sentence. I told him there would be no plea agreement and that we were going to trial. He called me up the day before trial was to begin and told me he was dismissing the cases.
Motion to Suppress, August 28, 2015, Okmulgee County District Court, Okmulgee, Oklahoma
My client was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia. The arrest occurred during a traffic stop by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. I received the police reports early on in the case, but when I received the video of the traffic stop, I saw that what actually happened did not match what the trooper wrote in his report. Therefore, I filed a Motion to Suppress. Five days before the suppression hearing was scheduled the State dismissed the case.
Motion to Suppress, August 7, 2015, Okmulgee County District Court, Okmulgee, Oklahoma
My client was charged with felony possession of marijuana and misdemeanor possession of paraphernalia. The arrest occurred during a traffic stop when an Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper abandoned investigating the driver for a cracked windshield and taillight out and started investigating my client, a mere passenger in the car. After a hard fought battle and multiple court appearances and briefs, the judge granted my motion to suppress and dismissed the case.
Motion to Suppress Search and Motion to Quash Bindover, December 5, 2014, Okmulgee County District Court, Okmulgee, Oklahoma
My client was charged with Possession of Methamphetamine for methamphetamine that was found in her purse. There was also more methamphetamine found in the house in which she was just a visitor. The judge suppressed the methamphetamine found in her purse after I showed the judge the search of the purse was illegal. I also convinced the judge that there was no evidence that my client possessed, or even knew about, the other methamphetamine found in the house. My client’s case was dismissed.
Motion to Quash Search Warrant, October 16, 2014, Okmulgee County District Court, Okmulgee, Oklahoma
My two clients were charged with Cultivation of Marijuana. I filed a Motion to Quash the Search Warrant and the judge found that the warrant was defective and quashed it. This led to the Cultivation charge against my clients being dismissed.
Motion to Suppress and Motion to Quash Search Warrant, April 9, 2014, Seminole County District Court, Wewoka, Oklahoma
My two clients were charged with Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Distribute, Attempted Cultivation of Marijuana, and Conspiracy. This was a case involving a police “sting” where a box containing marijuana was delivered by police officers posing as employees of the post office. The judge found that the police did not have enough evidence to believe my clients knew what was in the box, and that lack of evidence tainted the later obtained search warrant for the house. The case against my two client was dismissed.
Motion to Suppress, January 17, 2014, Creek County District Court, Bristow, Oklahoma
My client was charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana and paraphernalia. The arrest occurred during a traffic stop when the police officer starting searching my client’s pockets for no legal reason. I filed a Motion to Suppress and showed up for a hearing on my motion.

Motion to Suppress, January 9, 2014, Tulsa County District Court, Tulsa, Oklahoma
My client was charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana, paraphernalia, and felony possession of a single pill. This all happened in a Wal-Mart parking lot, where a police officer accosted her at her car, and then held her until a drug dog arrived. The dog alerted on her car, and the car was searched. To me it was clearly an illegal detention, so I filed a Motion to Suppress. When we showed up for the preliminary hearing, the DA said that he had read my motion and that he was dismissing the case.
Motion to Dismiss, September 13, 2013, Tulsa County District Court, Tulsa, Oklahoma
My client was charged with Outraging Public Decency for something she did while working in a gentlemen’s club about 3 years before her arrest. For some reason, it took the state about 2 years to file a charge. It took a little over 1 more year for her to be arrested. I filed a Motion to Dismiss based on a violation of her 6th Amendment speedy trial rights. The judge agreed with me and dismissed the case.
Motion to Suppress, September 12, 2013, Sequoyah County, Oklahoma
My two clients were charged with Possession of Marijuana, Possession of Paraphernalia and Public Intoxication after being stopped for an alleged parking violation. The problem was I could find no parking law that had been violated. I filed a motion to suppress. However, when I appeared in court for the suppression hearing, the DA said that the deputy did not show up for the hearing, and he dismissed the two cases.
Motion to Suppress, August 13, 2013, Tulsa Municipal Court
My client was charged with Possession of Marijuana after police stopped him for a cracked windshield. Unfortunately, my client gave permission to search his car during the stop. (NEVER consent to a police searches!) The police not only searched the car but also searched my client. The marijuana was found in his pocket. There were two issues: 1. Whether the police had consent to search my client’s body. 2. Whether the police could further detain my client to ask for permission to search. I filed a motion to suppress. The law was on my side, and I thought I would win. It was set for hearing twice, and the officer failed to show up for the hearing both times. Therefore, the city dismissed the case.
Motion to Suppress, January 9, 2013, Creek County, Oklahoma
My client was charged with Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Distribute. He was pulled over on I-44. The trooper ended up searching the car and found about 2 pounds of ganja.

Motion to Suppress, November 8, 2012, Broken Arrow Municipal Court, Oklahoma
My client was charged with Possession of Marijuana and Possession of Paraphernalia after police stopped him while at a McDonald’s drive-thru. I filed a motion to suppress. The law was on my side, and I thought I would win. It was set for hearing twice, and the officer did not show up. Therefore, the judge dismissed the case after the officer failed to show up the second time.
Motion to Dismiss, November 2, 2012, Tulsa County, Oklahoma
Although a Public Intoxication case is not the most serious crime a person can be charged with, I treat all cases and clients the same. In this Public Intoxication case, I made a Motion to Dismiss. Before I even finished making my argument to the judge, she stopped me and said my motion was granted.
Motion to Quash Search Warrant, October 1O, 2012, Tulsa County, Oklahoma
My two clients were charged with Possession of Marijuana and Possession of Paraphernalia after a search warrant was served at their house.

The judge agreed and quashed the warrant and dismissed the case.
Motion to Suppress, July 25, 2012, Craig County, Oklahoma
The highway bandits (aka Oklahoma Highway Patrol) stole $22,000.00 from my client as he was just passing through Oklahoma. The State filed a forfeiture case on the money. I believed the search that produced the money was illegal. I filed a Motion to Suppress and asked that it be set for hearing. The State never filed a written response to my Motion. Therefore, I asked the court to grant my Motion without further proceedings because of the State’s lack of response. The court granted my request, and I got all of my client’s money back.
Motion to Suppress, July 11, 2012, Mayes County, Oklahoma
My client was charged with Possession of Marijuana and Possession of Paraphernalia after a traffic stop. I filed a motion to suppress citing various legal problems with the stop and subsequent search. The DA called me two days before the court date and said she was dismissing the case. She said the police were not cooperating with her in responding to the issues I brought up in the motion to suppress. Therefore, she would dismiss the case that day.
Motion to Dismiss and Suppress, May 9, 2012, Tulsa County, Oklahoma
My client was charged with DUI-Drugs, Possession of Marijuana and Possession of Paraphernalia. I filed a motion to dismiss the DUI-Drugs case arguing that there was no probable cause to arrest my client for this crime. Fortunately, there was a video of this traffic stop. I then argued since the marijuana and paraphernalia were found as the result of an illegal arrest, they should be suppressed as the fruit of an illegal arrest. The DA called me the day before the hearing on my motion and offered to dismiss the DUI and possession of marijuana if my client would plead guilty to the paraphernalia charge and accept a deferred sentence with a very favorable term of probation. My client accepted the offer. This case was featured on the DUI TV Program; view the edited video of the arrest below:
Motion to Suppress, February 28, 2012, Wagoner County, Oklahoma
My client was charged with Assault on a Police Officer, Threaten to Perform an Act of Violence, and Resisting an Officer. All these things my client was charged with occurred after the police went into his backyard, into an opened window and eventually started roaming around in his house. I argued to the judge that this was an illegal entry into the house, and the police had no exigent circumstances (true emergency) to enter the house as the district attorney was arguing. The judge agreed with me and held all the evidence of the crimes my client was charged with was inadmissible because of the illegal entry, and all charges were dismissed. I want to thank my client for not answering the police knocks on the door that occurred before the illegal entry, which would have led to the police “getting their foot in the door,” asking for consent to search, and asking other intrusive questions.
Motion to Suppress, February 15, 2012, Tulsa County, Oklahoma
Client originally charged with Felony Possession of Marijuana. The district attorney reduced the case to misdemeanor possession thinking this would result in a plea and that my client and I would give up on the motion to suppress. We did not give up, and after a hearing, the judge granted my motion to suppress and dismissed the case after finding that the search of my client’s car was illegal. I could not have won this motion without the help of my client. My client helped me by doing two important things: 1. He did not consent to a search. 2. He kept his mouth shut during and after the traffic stop and search of his car.
Motion to Dismiss, December 28, 2011, Tulsa County, Oklahoma

Motion to Suppress, September 19, 2011, Tulsa County, Oklahoma
Client charged with Possession of Marijuana within 1000 Feet of a School, a felony, and Possession of Paraphernalia. After the police knocked on his door and held him on his porch in 40 degree weather for 2 1/2 hours, my client’s will was finally overcome, and he consented to a search. The judge granted my motion to suppress and dismissed the case after agreeing with me that the consent was a result of coercion by the police.
Motion to Suppress, October 11, 2010, Washington County, Oklahoma
Client charged with Possession of Marijuana and Possession of Paraphernalia after a traffic stop.

Motion to Suppress, June 10, 2009, Creek County, Oklahoma

Motion to Suppress, March 27, 2009, Tulsa County, Oklahoma
