From the time we opened our doors, the partners at Jones Gotcher have insisted on practicing law with integrity. More than fifty years later, we still insist on high standards. A mid-sized Tulsa firm, we’re large enough to accept any assignment – but never at the expense of personal attention. We treat our clients with the same respect that we have for the law.
