• Child Custody and Visitation
• Adoption
• Paternity
  Divorce including post-divorce issues such as modification of custody and child support.  Many times issues in divorce include alimony, custody, visitation, child support, and the distribution of debts and assets.  Paternity includes custody, visitation, child support and modification of custody and child support.  Prior to divorce and paternity actions or within those actions the issues of emergency custody or protective orders sometimes arise.  During a divorce or paternity case many times grandparental rights must be addressed regarding visitation.  I also draft prenuptial agreements.
• Premarital Agreement
• Guardianship
  If the children may be in irreparable harm an emergency is filed which is called a special guardianship. Upon proof the children are in irreparable harm, a show case hearing is held whereby the Court determines if the special stays in place until the general guardianship hearing is held. At the general guardianship hearing, the burden shifts where the guardian must prove the parents are unfit. In short, there are a great deal of legal hoops that one must go through, whether to obtain one, or fight one.

  What are you entitled to? Alimony, assets, debts, personal property, the house, custody and what type? It's overwhelming and one of the top stressors. Don't go it alone!

Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  The law firm of Fathree & Fathree has the expertise and experience to represent you in matters of criminal law. Any time you need a lawyer it’s an uncertain and frightening time but with criminal law there is one extra component: you could go to prison. That means that a “good attorney” simply is not good enough. You want an attorney that can give you the best representation possible. Some of the areas in criminal law where it really matters are...
• DUI/DWI
  Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs remains an offense that is taken very seriously in Oklahoma. Proper representation is imperative to determine your defense to these charges and to minimize your exposure to punishment (which can end up costing you thousands of dollars and the carries the risk of imprisonment). Additionally, you need an attorney that is experienced in dealing with the Department of Public Safety because that agency is going to make every attempt to take your driver’s license.
• Sex Crimes
  This includes violent crimes in which harm has allegedly come to a victim. Actions like murder or felony assault and battery which result in death or serious injury or cases in which sexual assault, lewd molestation or rape have been alleged are traumatic to all the parties involved. It is imperative that your attorney has not only a knowledge of the applicable law and the skills to represent you all the way through trial, but also understands the community in which the charges are filed and where a trial might ultimately occur. Fathree & Fathree can provide this to ensure that you get the best representation possible.
• Robbery
  Felonies would include murder, manslaughter, assault and battery, robbery, drug offenses including distribution, trafficking and manufacturing, rape, sexual assault, crimes against children including sexual abuse and lewd molestation, assault and battery by strangulation, burglary, felony DUIs and crimes involving fraud or theft.
• Burglary
• Theft
• Misdemeanors
  Although many simple possession cases are now misdemeanors in Oklahoma, the damage that these cases cause to your life and reputation are very real. It remains important that these cases are resolved in a way that serves your best interests. And of course, cases that are not simply for possession, like the illegal sale of drugs, remain serious felony matters that can result in a serious amount of prison time.
• Drug Crimes
  Don't be fooled because many simple possession charges are now misdemeanors. There are still plenty of ways to end up in prison on drug charges.
• Assault
  Many times, a domestic assault can result in the filing of a protective order. Although not a criminal matter, the ramifications of a protective order against you can be very damaging. A protective order prevents you from having a firearm in your possession even in your own home. Damaging testimony given at a hearing for the protective order could result in serious criminal charges being filed against you and a violation of the protective order is a criminal matter. Fathree & Fathree can also protect your interests if you are the victim who has found it necessary to file a protective order. We have represented many victims and have the compassion and sensitivity along with the legal skills to see you through a difficult chapter in your life. Call Fathree & Fathree to protect your rights if a protective order has been filed against you or you have found it necessary to file a protective order.
• Murder
• Shoplifting
  Sometimes, misdemeanors don’t seem like “such a big deal”. But even these crimes can wreak havoc on your reputation and your ability to, among other things, get a job. For example, Larceny of Merchandise from a Retailer (shoplifting) could be a felony if you were to be charged with a similar crime later. So, it’s best to have representation to make certain that defenses to the crime are explored or reach the best outcome possible if you need to work something out with the prosecution to resolve your case.
• Manslaughter

Trusts and Estates

• Power of Attorney
  We live in a time where adults are requiring in some cases, protection and legal representation by someone in their family Sometimes, siblings fight over who is to be the guardian. Sometimes there are lawsuits over alleged mismanagement of the estate of the ward which if proven, could lead to criminal charges. In addition to guardianship, the issue of a will, power of attorney, and medical directive may also need to be addressed to insure the best coverage for the adult.
