Tribal law and tribal litigation is an area of legal practice that is exponentially expanding in Oklahoma. Tribal litigation and tribal law was already a very active area of litigation, and the United States Supreme Court’s McGirt decision exponentially increased the volume of cases handled by tribal courts.
If you have been criminally charged in state court, and have any documentable Native American heritage, it is possible that state courts may have no jurisdiction over your criminal case under the United State’s Supreme Court’s McGirt decision.
Experienced Tribal Law Attorney in Oklahoma
Konsure Law Firm handles all types of civil, criminal and family law cases in tribal courts in many different tribal jurisdictions. While tribal courts have similarities to state and federal courts and often base their laws on state law, in effect, practicing law in a tribal court is similar to being in court in a foreign country.
Each tribe has its own set of laws, statutes and court rules. It is important for a client to choose a lawyer who is familiar with the laws of each particular tribal jurisdiction, or who is willing to familiarize himself or herself with the laws of each particular tribe.
Konsure Law Firm represents parties in the following tribal courts:
- Choctaw Nation Tribal Court
- Muscogee (Creek) Nation Tribal Court
- Seminole Nation Tribal Court
- Chickasaw Nation Tribal Court
- Cherokee Nation Tribal Court
Konsure Law Firm is also available to represent parties, civilly, criminally, and in family law cases in other tribal jurisdictions. We look forward to assisting you with your tribal law needs.
It is important to note that in some cases state or federal courts and tribal counts may have concurrent or alternative jurisdiction over the same matter. It is important for your lawyer to effectively evaluate whether or not it benefits you to attempt to proceed in tribal court, or to potentially avoid tribal court, if that is an option.
Konsure Law Firm actively represents people in several tribal jurisdictions and our lawyers have the experience, knowledge, skill and determination to evaluate your particular situation and place you in the best situation for your particular case. We are also not afraid to advocate your position, or to “cut against the grain” if it is necessary to advocate your position.
