The troubling state of policing in America is starkly illustrated by the actions of the Tulsa Police Department. When a local news organization sought access to the disciplinary records of its officers, it should have been a straightforward demonstration of transparency and accountability. The press has a vital role in obtaining information about public employees' performance—information that rightfully belongs to the community funding the police. Citizens deserve to scrutinize the very institution that holds the power to inflict harm, detain individuals, or even take lives.

Instead of embracing this accountability, the police have chosen to resist. They’ve put contracts in place with the city that allow them to erase records of officer misconduct after a few short years, and they have even taken legal action to block the release of these records to the public. This defensive posture reveals a deep-seated unwillingness to foster trust. If the Tulsa Police Department truly believed in their integrity and could confidently claim that only "a few bad apples" exist within their ranks—without a culture of misconduct—they would willingly pursue transparency and share these records with the community they are sworn to protect. Their refusal to do so speaks volumes about the issues within the department.

If you feel that your rights have been violated by law enforcement, don’t hesitate to contact The Jones Firm, PLLC. You deserve advocacy and support in the pursuit of justice.

The City of Tulsa is withholding 66 pages of police officer disciplinary records after the police union went to court to stop their release.

A hit-and-run is a serious offense with significant legal repercussions. If someone damages your parked car, they must either find the owner or leave their information for insurance. Providing false insurance details can lead to severe charges, and fleeing after hitting an occupied vehicle may result in felony charges.

At The Jones Firm, PLLC, we are committed to defending clients against hit-and-run allegations. Prosecutors must prove that a person knowingly left the scene or provided false information. For instance, if both parties agree not to involve insurance, but one changes their mind, it doesn't count as a hit-and-run.

With a strong track record of not-guilty verdicts and charge reductions, The Jones Firm, PLLC is here to help. If you’ve been charged with a hit-and-run, contact us today for a free consultation and let us protect your rights. Your future is important—take action now.

Unfortunately, many assume that committing a hit-and-run isn't as serious of a crime as it is. This blog explores the penalties you can face.

In light of the opioid crisis, law enforcement has ramped up efforts against prescription drug crimes. Remember, possessing any prescription medication not prescribed to you is a crime, especially with Schedule II drugs like OxyContin, Percocet, Adderall, and Ritalin, which are both medically beneficial and highly addictive.

If you face charges, it’s important to know that the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you solely possessed the drug. This can be difficult, as these medications are often found in shared spaces.

At The Jones Firm, PLLC, we have a strong history of achieving not-guilty verdicts, dismissals, and reduced charges for clients. Contact The Jones Firm, PLLC, today if you're facing prescription drug charges. Our dedicated team is here to defend your rights and support you through this challenging time.

Last week, I had the opportunity to meet with the author of "Shielded," a powerful exploration of the pervasive protections that law enforcement enjoys—legal, financial, and criminal—regardless of whether their actions violate constitutional rights. It's crucial to understand that when individuals are insulated from the repercussions of their misconduct, they are more likely to engage in and repeat those unconstitutional behaviors.

The recent Executive Order from the Trump Administration exacerbates this troubling trend, offering increased legal backing, more lethal weaponry, and stronger incentives to cover up their unconstitutional actions through misleading accusations against their victims. In the realm of civil rights, we recognize these frequently used false charges as "The Big 3": assault and battery on an officer, resisting arrest, and obstruction.

We must confront the very real fear that this Executive Order could pave the way for martial law, particularly if this Administration embarks on a sweeping assault on our rights, reminiscent of the shocking events of January 6th or the violent actions taken at Lafayette Park. In these crises, police may act with impunity, believing they will face no consequences for their unconstitutional behavior.

If we allow this situation to unfold, it will not solely be the fault of this Administration or the Executive Order—it will be a reflection of a broader failure to hold law enforcement accountable in courtrooms nationwide. For those who misuse their power, that day will feel just like any other. We must rise together to demand accountability and protect our rights before it's too late. Contact The Jones Firm, PLLC, immediately if your civil rights have been violated.

A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent operation that uses new investors' funds to pay earlier investors, creating a facade of profitability without any real products or services. While many think of high-profile cases like Bernie Madoff, smaller schemes have also been identified, often mistakenly, as Ponzi schemes.

It's vital to note that not every failing business is a fraud. Misleading investors is illegal, but simply struggling in the market is not. At The Jones Firm, PLLC, we know that indictments don’t always equate to fraud. Genuine fraud requires proof of intentional deception, and we have successfully achieved dismissals and not-guilty verdicts by challenging the government's case.

Elderly individuals deserve to age with dignity and grace. Elder abuse laws were enacted to protect them from abuse and exploitation. While the intention behind these laws is commendable, their ex*****on can sometimes fall short.

A conspiracy is, at its core, an agreement between two or more individuals, accompanied by a clear action that supports that agreement. In many cases, these conspiracy charges are tied to drug trafficking, where the simple act of agreeing to sell or transport drugs, combined with any supporting action, can lead to serious consequences. Remarkably, the required action doesn't need to be significant; even something as minor as renting a car or purchasing packaging for the drugs can implicate all involved parties.

Prosecutors are fully aware of this strategy and often levy conspiracy charges to pressure defendants into cooperation. However, The Jones Firm, PLLC has a proven track record of successfully challenging drug trafficking conspiracy charges, achieving dismissals and not-guilty verdicts for our clients. When prosecutors overreach with conspiracy charges, it creates a crucial opportunity for skilled legal representation to fight back.

Trials are the cornerstone of my passion for practicing law. They embody the essence of freedom, allowing citizens to challenge the government and require proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. My success in numerous trials stems from my deep understanding of this critical process.

When it comes to trials, there are two main types: bench trials and jury trials. In a jury trial, a group of community members delivers the verdict, bringing a unique perspective to the case. In contrast, a bench trial puts the decision in the hands of a judge. The choice between these two options is significant and should be made with the guidance of experienced legal counsel.

There are several factors to consider in this decision. For instance, if your case involves intricate legal issues, a bench trial might provide a clearer path to justice. However, if witness credibility plays a crucial role, a jury trial could be your best chance for a favorable outcome.

At The Jones Firm, PLLC, we are dedicated to taking your case to trial and fighting tirelessly for your freedom. If you’re ready to stand up for your rights in your criminal case, don’t hesitate—contact The Jones Firm, PLLC, today. Your future depends on it!

No one can bear the thought of a child being harmed, which is why our criminal justice system has established laws to protect them from abuse. However, the intention behind these laws can sometimes lead to overzealous actions by prosecutors. A single call to the police or Child Protective Services (CPS) can cast suspicion on loving parents or guardians, regardless of the truth behind the claim. This means that an accidental injury from sports, a scraped knee on the playground, or even the chaos of a busy household can trigger serious legal repercussions.

At The Jones Firm, PLLC, we recognize the challenges posed by aggressive prosecutions. We are dedicated to fiercely defending individuals facing child abuse charges. We've witnessed firsthand the power of a jury to set things right when they deliver a not-guilty verdict, sending a strong message that prosecutors can indeed overreact.

When people hear "organized crime," they often think of the mafia, but it actually includes any illegal activities conducted by groups like gangs or businesses.
