Experienced Criminal Defense

State and Federal Criminal Defense Attorney

Representing clients facing criminal charges in Oklahoma state courts and federal courts in the Eastern District (EDOK) and Northern District (NDOK). When you’re facing serious charges, you need an experienced attorney who knows the system.

Your Criminal Defense Attorney

As a solo criminal defense attorney practicing in Muskogee, I represent clients facing serious charges in both Oklahoma state courts and federal courts throughout the Eastern and Northern Districts of Oklahoma.

With a focus on personalized representation, I handle every aspect of your case personally—from the initial detention hearing through trial and sentencing. When you hire Medlock Law, you get direct access to an experienced attorney, not a junior associate or paralegal.

I understand that being charged with a crime is one of the most stressful experiences you’ll face. My goal is to provide clear guidance, aggressive advocacy, and the focused attention your case deserves.

Why Choose Medlock Law

Why hire a solo practitioner instead of a large firm?

As a solo practitioner, you get direct access to an experienced attorney at every stage of your case. You won’t be handed off to junior associates or paralegals. From the initial consultation through trial, you work directly with me. This personalized approach means faster communication, consistent strategy, and the focused attention your case deserves.

What's the difference between state and federal criminal cases?

Federal cases are fundamentally different from state court. Federal prosecutors have more resources, sentencing guidelines are complex, and the stakes are often higher with mandatory minimum sentences. I have experience in both systems and understand how to navigate the unique challenges of federal court in the Eastern and Northern Districts of Oklahoma, as well as state courts throughout the region.

What should I do if I'm under investigation or have been arrested?

The most important thing is to exercise your right to remain silent and contact an attorney immediately. Anything you say to law enforcement can and will be used against you. Do not try to explain your way out of the situation. The earlier you have legal representation, the better we can protect your rights and begin building your defense.

How do you determine the best strategy for my case?

Every case is different. After thoroughly reviewing the evidence, charges, and circumstances, I evaluate all available options—from challenging the legality of the search or arrest, to negotiating with prosecutors, to taking the case to trial. My goal is to achieve the best possible outcome, whether that’s dismissal, reduced charges, acquittal, or minimized sentencing exposure.
