Section 01

Key Qualification: Probate Knowledge

In Oklahoma, only the Personal Representative of the estate can file the lawsuit. If your lawyer messes up the estate administration, your lawsuit can be dismissed. Ensure your attorney handles both the civil tort claim and the probate process.

Section 02

3 Red Flags When Hiring

  • Guarantees: Any lawyer who promises a specific dollar amount is unethical. Run.
  • Upfront Fees: You should never pay out of pocket. We work on contingency.
  • High Volume: If you never meet the attorney (only case managers), your case is just a number to them.
