An Oklahoma attorney was suspended from practicing law without a trial, hearing, or the right to call witnesses after four years of investigating government corruption and police misconduct. The Oklahoma Supreme Court imposed the emergency suspension based solely on a complaint filed by the Oklahoma Bar Association, denying the attorney any opportunity to challenge the allegations or present a defense.
The Suspension That Shocked Legal Observers
The attorney learned of his suspension yesterday after years of documenting what he calls systemic corruption within Oklahoma's judicial and law enforcement systems. The Oklahoma Supreme Court granted the Bar Association's request for emergency suspension without requiring any evidence beyond written allegations. No witnesses were called, no videos reviewed, and no hearing scheduled.
The suspended attorney had never faced disciplinary action in his 15 years of practice before he began investigating government accountability issues four years ago. His legal troubles began after filing complaints against attorneys charged with multiple felonies, only to see those complaints ignored while facing investigation himself for social media criticism of public officials.
A Heart Attack That Changed Everything
Four years ago, after surviving multiple heart attacks, the attorney made a conscious decision to risk his legal career fighting what he describes as a tyrannical bureaucracy. He had studied civil rights in college and decided to put those principles into practice, knowing the potential consequences for challenging powerful institutions.
The decision came with full support from his wife, a doctor, who understood the risks involved in taking on the Oklahoma legal establishment. The attorney acknowledges he could have approached some situations differently but maintains he has no regrets about exposing corruption, even if it cost him his law license.
Investigating the Investigators
The attorney's troubles with the Bar Association began when he filed complaints against attorneys facing serious criminal charges. Matt Stacy, charged with 32 felonies for allegedly creating fraudulent medical marijuana businesses, remains uninvestigated by the Bar Association despite the attorney providing detailed evidence. Logan Jones and Eric Brown, each charged with 11 felonies, similarly face no Bar Association scrutiny.
When the attorney questioned why his own social media posts faced investigation while attorneys charged with felonies remained untouched, he began documenting what he saw as selective enforcement. His research led him to judge Sharon Holmes, whom he exposed for allegedly drinking and driving with a minor child in her vehicle.
The Double Standard That Sparked Outrage
The same Oklahoma Supreme Court that suspended him without due process previously found a constitutional right to abortion under Oklahoma's privacy provisions, despite state laws to the contrary. This judicial reasoning protecting what the attorney calls "the right to murder babies" stands in stark contrast to their swift action silencing his First Amendment speech.
Recent incidents that drew Bar Association complaints include his filming at the Oklahoma County District Attorney's office and his verbal confrontation with an Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics officer who insulted a citizen. These activities, which he frames as journalism and citizen advocacy, became grounds for professional discipline.
The Federal Case That Changes Everything
The attorney plans to file a federal lawsuit within the week, arguing that the Supreme Court's own language proves his suspension violates the First Amendment. The suspension order focuses entirely on his public statements and journalism rather than any misconduct in his legal practice, he claims.
The order acknowledges the Bar Association conducted "an extensive review" of his court filings and statements made in legal proceedings but notably fails to identify any wrongdoing in his actual practice of law. Instead, the discipline appears to stem entirely from his public criticism of government officials and his investigative reporting.
The full livestream reveals the complete suspension order and the attorney's plans for federal court action that could reshape attorney free speech rights in Oklahoma.
