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. If you are looking for an attorney who combines legal knowledge with compassion, discernment, and professionalism, I would highly recommend Colby.

Personable and Hard-Working. Colby was able to get me exactly what I wanted.... justice. He fought hard for me to obtain a favorable result in the case. He helped me understand everything along the way. Whenever someone says they need a lawyer, I always recommend him. I've been through many lawyers and none seemed to care like him. Thanks!

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 disputes involving non-tribal employers, tribal-government and tribal-business matters, and complex federal litigation in the Tenth Circuit. We do not represent individual employees in employment disputes against tribal employers.
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 many Oklahoma personal injury cases, the general filing period is two years, but important exceptions can shorten or change the analysis. Oklahoma Governmental Tort Claims Act matters generally require written notice within one year after the loss and suit within 180 days after the claim is denied or deemed denied. Other claims can have different accrual, notice, or filing rules, so prompt review matters.
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.
