We are never adverse to working with a tribe. Our expertise includes navigating tribal legal systems for the benefit of tribal members and businesses that are tribe-friendly. Occasionally, we seek damages from a tribe's insurance policy, as permitted by the tribe. When clients require a tribal lawyer or a Cherokee Nation lawyer, we provide representation for claimants, plaintiffs, and defendants. Our team includes experienced Cherokee tribal attorneys who are dedicated to advocating for our clients' interests. We also offer administrative representation in various administrative tribunals, including BIA Dept. of Probate Hearings, Workers' Compensation Hearings, and Social Security Disability matters. Additionally, we provide legal representation in Indian Tribal Jurisdiction Courts throughout all of Indian Country. Our clients often seek the help of tribal court attorneys in areas such as personal injury claims against casinos, judicial mortgage foreclosures of properties on Indian trust lands, construction disputes, insurance and surety disputes, collections, collections defense, employment discrimination or contract disputes, wrongful discharge, child custody, and other matters.
Our private advocates are well-versed in federal Indian law and tribal law, including expertise from Cherokee Nation lawyers and Cherokee tribal attorneys. Our advocates are licensed to practice in numerous tribal courts across the country, from Washington state to Florida and from Arizona to Massachusetts, ensuring we cover a wide range of legal needs, including those of tribal attorneys in Oklahoma.
Additionally, we collaborate with the Tribal Advocates National Bar Association (www.TANBAR.org) to train both current and aspiring tribal court attorneys. Our goal is to foster rewarding careers for Indians eager to learn the laws of their tribes while assisting fellow tribal members in navigating tribal court proceedings.
