Criminal Defense
In the state of Oklahoma, DWI and DUI are not the same thing. DWI is in reference to a blood-alcohol content of 0.05% alcohol and carries a lesser penalty than DUI in Oklahoma. In order to be convicted of DUI in Oklahoma, you must be intoxicated and a blood-alcohol content of 0.08% or greater, unless you are charged with DUI drugs. Oklahoma has a zero tolerance law for drivers under the age of 21. Visit our FAQ on DUI Defense for answers to your other pressing Oklahoma DUI questions. You should also visit our YouTube channel for multiple videos on Oklahoma DUI Defense.
The most obvious difference between misdemeanor and felony offenses in Oklahoma is that felonies carry potential prison time and the possibility of being a convicted felon at the conclusion of your case. Misdemeanor offense are reserved for less serious offenses and do not carry more than a year in jail as a potential consequence, which is nothing to take lightly either.
The consequences of a felony can be life altering and should never be taken lightly. An experienced OKC criminal defense attorney can help you through the process and maximize your chances to avoid a negative outcome in your Oklahoma felony case.
Misdemeanor DUI and domestic violence cases are very serious as well, even though they are not felony cases. Both can result in lift changing and secondary consequences, more so than any other types of misdemeanor cases. Oklahoma DUI and domestic violence offenses are “predicate crimes” meaning if you are charged with either of these offenses in the future you will face a felony for otherwise misdemeanor DUI or domestic violence.
Oklahoma murder defense is a highly-complex area that only some OKC criminal defense attorneys handle due to the additional factors involved in an Oklahoma murder defense and the potential life changing consequences.
Murder defense in Oklahoma comes down to two-main defense theories: someone else committed the murder or the homicide was justified. Both of these defenses are complex and require different approaches. You should only work with a highly experienced OKC murder defense attorney that knows the laws and strategy related to defending a murder case in Oklahoma.
The first murder defense, someone else committed the crime, is highly fact driven and requires presenting evidence that raises a doubt in the minds of the jury, including alibi evidence or circumstantial evidence if possible. Our investigator has decades of experience helping secure the witnesses and evidence that our client provide us in order to present a compelling murder defense in our client’s OKC murder defense case.
The second murder defense, which is the many forms of self-defense, is based largely on the law and ensuring the facts presented to the judge or jury in your Oklahoma murder case support the claim of self-defense in your murder case.
You should only work with a highly experienced OKC murder defense attorney that knows the laws and strategy related to defending a murder case in Oklahoma, regardless of the initial homicide charges.

As stated in the previous question, distribution of drugs in Oklahoma is based upon proof of the intent to share or sell drugs. However, drug trafficking in Oklahoma is based upon the weight of drugs found in the case. The specific amount of drugs necessary to prove drug trafficking differs based upon the individual drug charged. Our Oklahoma City drug trafficking defense attorneys look forward to answering your questions; however, we encourage you to visit the following page concerning the amount of drugs necessary for specific Oklahoma drug trafficking offenses until we can meet.
Defending drug trafficking cases is complex and a wrong move may result in you or your loved one being sentenced to prison. Drug trafficking defense in Oklahoma is typically based on a lack of evidence of possession or a suppression issue to keep evidence out of your case. We are Fierce Advocates® for every client we have the privilege to represent and look forward to answering your questions as Oklahoma City drug trafficking defense attorneys. Until we speak, we encourage you to explore the information on our website concerning Oklahoma drug trafficking defense and our YouTube channel.
Yes, you are always able to replace your criminal defense attorney with new counsel in Oklahoma. It is a difficult decision hiring the right OKC criminal defense attorney and sometimes you select an attorney that is not the right fit for you or the situation you are facing. You can always hire new defense counsel in your criminal case; however, your contract or fee agreement with previous counsel will impact what, if any, refund you receive from your original attorney. The fee agreements at Cannon and Associates include clearly stated fee milestones, which dictate what percentage of your retainer would be returned, if you decide you would like to go in a different direction with your defense.
