D. Colby AddisonTrial judgment. Judicial perspective.

Colby represents people in serious-injury, trucking, and civil-rights cases. He represents employees and employers in workplace matters and advises tribal governments on sovereignty, governance, gaming, business, and employment.

He has more than a decade of trial experience, has handled thousands of matters, has certified classes in litigation, and has recovered millions in settlements and verdicts. The work begins with a practical question: what can the evidence prove, and what should happen next?

His experience includes advising state and tribal legislative bodies, representing public agencies responsible for substantial assets, and serving as an Administrative Law Judge for the Oklahoma Civil Service Division. That prior adjudicative work informs how he organizes a record and tests a workplace claim.

His transactional experience includes leading the borrower-side legal work for nearly $100 million in financing for a tribal casino and hotel development. The work included negotiating the project's construction and development contracts, preparing borrower legal opinions, and carrying the financing through closing.

He currently serves as a Tribal Supreme Court Justice. That experience informs how he reads a record, assesses an argument, and separates the point that may matter from the noise around it.
