Our attorneys represent Tribes, parties appearing in Tribal Courts, and parties doing business with Tribes, in the full range of legal services throughout the United States. Our firm has roots in Indian Country arising from our founding and headquarters in Oklahoma, which has expanded in recent years to Tribes across the country.
