As Mike and Rusty independently developed their practices over the years, it became evident that eastern Oklahoma provides bountiful opportunities for litigation in all types of cases. 

Our geographical practice area is statewide, but we primarily handle cases throughout eastern Oklahoma, from the most prominent venues to the smallest. 

To navigate the different landscapes in our footprint, SBLG strives to maintain its working and continuing knowledge and understanding of this unique and varied region of Oklahoma. 

For over a decade, multiple attorneys across the state and region have referred complex or targeted cases for Rusty Smith, Mike Barkett, and the SBLG attorneys to serve as lead or co-counsel. Our attorneys include former two-term Muskogee County District Attorney Larry Moore, longtime trucking collision defense lawyer Steve McClellan, and former prosecutor James Walters. This team is adept at proving a case, and their knowledge of federal, state, and tribal criminal law is difficult to surpass in the region. 

Our attorneys also often serve as local counsel in federal court, as Muskogee is the location of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, the geographical area of which includes a large portion of the state. If you would like to discuss a lead or co-counsel arrangement with the firm, please contact SBLG today.
