  • Expungement & Pardon Law in Oklahoma allows for the removal of certain records under certain conditions. Not every offense is eligible for expungement or a Pardon, and not every record may be stricken as a result of an expungement. Expungement Law in Oklahoma examines numerous records with the arresting agency, local courts, and the OSBI. The OSBI records are the most comprehensive, but the clearing of your arrest record with the OSBI is subject to strict rules and guidelines, and therefore, few people qualify for the expungement of these records. A person often will need to be granted a Pardon in order to qualify for an expungement. A pardon is a lengthy and document-intensive process.

    Arrests, Convictions and Protective Orders can often limit the type of job you can get and where you live. These can often be removed, or expunged, from your permanent records, meaning that in the future they will only be accessible to law enforcement.

    Contact Beverly if you have any questions about your expungement and pardon eligibility. If you would like to have a record of your arrest, nonviolent felony conviction, deferred sentence, VPO, or juvenile offenses expunged, contact Beverly for a free consultation.

    Types of expungements available in Oklahoma law include:

    • Full record expungement under 22 O.S. §18/19

    • Expungement following a deferred sentence under 22 O.S. §991c

    • Expungement of a Victim’s Protection Order (VPO) under 22 O.S. §60.18

    • Expungement of Juvenile Records under 10A O.S. §2-6-109

  • Beverly wants to help you to have a smooth transition to transfer property and money to spouses, children, friends and charities and take care of your estate with attention to detail and a smooth transition.

    A Will lets the Courts know how you want your property divided if you do not have a trust. Yes, everyone needs a will. People who feel they have little or no assets need a will as much as those who have multiple assets and large estates. Trusts do not cover every situation (such as a car accident with legal matters pending).

    A Trust is a way to bypass the probate process. Different types of trusts exist, depending upon the size of your estate and your goals.

    Probate is the court process. It includes the Judge appointing a personal representative, identifying assets, resolving debts, paying expenses, determining heirs and distributing any money or property to the heirs.

    Time is of the essence. It’s best to address these matters now to avoid conflict and questions later. Don’t wait another minute to start securing your assets and taking care of your affairs.

  • Oklahoma Violent Crimes Law defines violent offenses as those which cause bodily harm or threaten to cause bodily harm to another person or people. Assault, domestic violence, rape, and homicide are among the most commonly charged and prosecuted violent crimes. In some cases, such as DUI manslaughter, a person may be charged using Oklahoma violent crimes law even though he or she had no intent to harm the victim.

  • Oklahoma Drug laws have changed to reflect the changing face of drug abuse. Oklahoma has an active and mandatory Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP), laws prohibiting doctor shopping, laws requiring prescribers to conduct physical exams with patients and to demonstrate an active physician-patient relationship, and prescriber education.

    Often, prescription drug distribution is committed when people share or sell their own legally prescribed drugs, or when young adults steal and sell prescriptions from their parents’ and grandparents’ medicine chests. The distribution also occurs through prescription fraud using forged prescription pads to illegally obtain and sell frequently abused medications, or even robbery of a pharmacy. Protect your rights when you need a Drug Criminal Lawyer in Tulsa.

  • In the United States, a federal offense is considered an act that is illegal according to United States federal laws. The prosecution can occur at either or both the federal and state levels.

    As an experienced Tulsa criminal defense attorney, Beverly handles matters of local and state law and provides Federal criminal defense to those who have been charged with committing a Federal crime. Many Federal criminal law convictions can issue mandatory prison time with minimum sentences ranging anywhere from 5 to 10 years. Following that, a Federal conviction can easily destroy one’s record when it comes to finding new employment, decrease the likelihood of obtaining grants, scholarships, and other methods of financial aid for college, or the candidacy for certain roles and offices within society.

    The federal crimes court system moves more rapidly than the state and local courts. Having a criminal lawyer in Tulsa who understands your rights and how to protect you through the process is important. Beverly is experienced in Federal crimes law and federal crimes trials.
