Who’s Paying My Bills?
An automobile accident is never good. When you’re a passenger in the vehicle, it can be even worse, especially if you’re injured.
Often, the difficult task is determining who’s at fault (your driver or the other driver), and moving forward with treatment. One question I’m asked is "who pays for my medical bills?"
In Oklahoma, your rights [...]
How to Write Your Own Will – Part 3: Content is King
In this last post of our series, I’ll discuss some of the standard paragraphs your will should contain. In the last two posts, we’ve discussed the types of wills and the holographic will.
The main purpose of a will is to distribute property to someone or a group of people, or appoint a representative to handle [...]
How to Write Your Own Will – Part 2: Holographic Wills
In our last post, I discussed the various types of wills. In this post, we’ll talk about drafting your own holographic will. We’ll discuss the holographic will, as opposed to a type-written will, because this is the most common, non-attorney drafted type of will. Again, I like to think of these as "death bed" wills, [...]
Open Access to Courts
The Oklahoma Supreme Court released its second opinion of 2010, and boy was it kind of a shocker to me.
The case is Fent v. State ex. rel. Department of Human Services, 2010 OK 2, and addresses the issue of whether 28 O.S. § 152(D)(E) and (F) as well as 28 O.S. § 152.1(B) are constitutional [...]
How to Write Your Own Will – Part 1: The Types of Wills
Over the past few weeks, I’ve seen a lot of people come to my office seeking advice regarding wills, or asking to probate a loved one’s estate. The most difficult, and sometimes frustrating thing, is that in some of the cases, these relatives could have saved thousands of dollars, had the deceased properly executed their [...]

Keep Your Mouth Shut
The Fox show, Cops, is one of my all-time favorite programs. It’s the original reality show, and each time I watch I’m usually speechless. Most of the time, I can’t believe how much information the charged individual is telling the arresting officer. I’m sure most of the people have been arrested before, so I’m sure [...]
