“Thoughtful, Ethical, and Truly Client-Centered Attorney. I had the opportunity to work with David Colby Addison, and I was deeply impressed by his approach and integrity. He is an attorney who listens carefully, offers clear and honest guidance, and genuinely takes the time to understand the full context of a situation before responding. What sets Colby apart is his empathy and perspective. He does not rush to conclusions or treat legal matters as purely transactional. Instead, he approaches each situation with curiosity, fairness, and a sincere desire to help people navigate challenges in a way that aligns with their best interests. He is ethical, loyal, and someone who operates with a strong moral compass.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about hiring an Oklahoma attorney
We represent clients across Oklahoma in personal injury claims (car accidents, trucking wrecks, medical malpractice), civil rights litigation under Section 1983 (excessive force, jail neglect, police misconduct), employment law disputes (wrongful termination, discrimination, FMLA violations), tribal law matters, and complex federal litigation in the Tenth Circuit.
We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront and owe no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. There is no cost for your initial consultation, and we advance all case expenses.
Section 1983 of Title 42 of the U.S. Code allows individuals to sue government officials and entities that violate their constitutional rights. Common Section 1983 claims involve excessive force by police, deliberate indifference to medical needs in jail or prison, wrongful arrest, and First Amendment retaliation. These cases are filed in federal court.
Yes. Every potential case begins with a free, no-obligation consultation. We will review the facts of your situation, explain your legal options, and give you an honest assessment of your case — all at no cost. Call us at 405-698-3125 or use our online contact form to get started.
We serve clients statewide from our Oklahoma City office. We regularly handle cases in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Norman, Edmond, Lawton, Broken Arrow, Sapulpa, and dozens of other communities. For federal matters, we practice in the Western, Northern, and Eastern Districts of Oklahoma and the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals.
In most personal injury cases, Oklahoma law requires you to file suit within two years of the date of injury. However, there are important exceptions — claims against government entities often have much shorter notice deadlines (as few as 90 days), and medical malpractice cases may have different discovery rules. Contact an attorney promptly to protect your rights.
Our founder, D. Colby Addison, serves as a Tribal Supreme Court Justice — a rare credential that provides firsthand understanding of tribal governance, sovereign immunity, and jurisdictional issues. We represent tribal nations, gaming commissions, and tribal enterprises on matters including tribal code drafting, gaming regulation, and sovereignty defense.
