Criminal Defense
We never beg for mercy. We prepare every case as if trial is guaranteed.
The stakes are real
Serious charges deserve a serious defense
Criminal law is wide ranging and complicated, from a single misdemeanor to a life-altering felony. Wagner & Lynch brings deep experience and a long track record as trusted criminal defense counsel, and we are relentless advocates for the people we represent.
What we handle
Criminal matters we defend
Misdemeanors
Offenses carrying up to a year in county jail and fines. We know Oklahoma’s specific penalties and how to limit the damage.
Felonies
We approach every felony as if it carries a life sentence, because a conviction follows you for life. Prepared for trial from day one.
DUI & DUID
Alcohol and drug-related driving charges carry serious short and long-term consequences. We protect your license, your record, and your future.
Police Misconduct & Excessive Force
When law enforcement exceeds its authority, we pursue justice through civil action, including Section 1983 claims for violations of your constitutional rights.
Our approach
We never beg for mercy
We are trial attorneys, and we see every case from the view that trial is guaranteed. That means our own investigation, visiting the scene, and preparing as if we are going to verdict. It wins at trial, it earns dismissals, and it produces better offers, because a good plea comes from a prosecutor who wants to avoid trial, not from begging for mercy.
