Serving and Protecting Muskogee Residents for Over 25 Years
Everyone deserves straightforward, honest advice and representation from a hardworking attorney.
We want to be those attorneys for you now and in the future.
Muskogee is a beautiful yet complex city in Oklahoma. It lies within the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Reservation and has deep ties to the Five Tribes. Family land runs deep, small businesses have operated locally for generations, and the community ties run strong. But that doesn’t mean legal problems don’t arise. Businesses can hit disputes, families can fall apart, and people can pass away without an estate plan; you need a law firm in Muskogee, OK that knows this community as well as the law.
At Green Country Law Group, our office is right here at 321 Court St in Muskogee. We know the Muskogee County Courthouse, we understand the unique legal landscape of eastern Oklahoma, and our attorneys concentrate on specific practice areas, so your matter goes to a lawyer who regularly handles that kind of work.
Legal problems here don’t look the same as they do in Tulsa or Oklahoma City. Tribal jurisdiction questions affect everyday residents more than almost anywhere else in the state. Generational farmland in Muskogee, Cherokee, and Sequoyah counties carries a complicated legal history that creates costly disputes when it’s never planned for. And small businesses can’t afford a lawsuit that pierces their LLC because it was never properly maintained under Title 18 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
Wayne Bailey, managing attorney: business and corporate law, estate planning, probate, real estate, and civil litigation and appeals. He earned a degree in accounting before law school, holds an LL.M., and is admitted in Oklahoma, all three federal district courts in the state, the Tenth Circuit, the U.S. Tax Court, and the Cherokee Nation tribal court. He sees clients at all four of our offices.
Deni Ketterman: estate planning — wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance directives — along with business and real estate matters and civil litigation. He works from our Muskogee and Tahlequah offices and is admitted in the Cherokee Nation and Choctaw Nation tribal courts. See estate planning.
Jared DeSilvey: family law, personal injury, and insurance claims, representing Oklahoma families since 1997. He is a Certified Mediator and Certified Guardian Ad Litem, is admitted in the Cherokee Nation, Muscogee (Creek) Nation, and Chickasaw Nation tribal courts, and works from our Muskogee and Tahlequah offices. See family law.
Clinton N. Patterson: criminal defense, family law, and tribal law. He sees clients at all four of our offices and was admitted to the Oklahoma bar in 2003. See tribal law.
Ambrielle Glass: tax — disputes and tax-debt resolution with the IRS and the Oklahoma Tax Commission, and tax planning. She is a former Assistant General Counsel at the Oklahoma Tax Commission. See tax law.
Green Country Law Group has four offices: Tahlequah, Muskogee, Broken Arrow, and Norman.
If someone passes away without a will, the Muskogee County District Court becomes the decision-maker for everything they left behind. Under Oklahoma’s laws (Title 84, Section 213), the state divides your assets, not you. That can mean a family home split among several heirs as co-owners, a judge appointing a guardian for your children under Title 30, or a partner you never legally married receiving nothing, because Oklahoma’s succession law provides only for a spouse and relatives. Under Title 58, Section 393, if the Oklahoma property is worth $50,000 or less after liens, heirs may be able to collect certain property by affidavit instead of probate. Most other estates go through probate, with public filings, court costs and legal fees, and months of waiting before your family can access everything.
As a full-service law firm in Muskogee OK, we handle the complete range of legal needs for individuals, families, and businesses in this community. But we’re not general. We have a team of attorneys, all trained extensively in different fields, all ready to help you with any scenario you have.
Estate Planning
Estate planning handles what happens to your family and assets when you pass away, and what happens if you get into an accident or fall ill and cannot speak for yourself. This is a very personal matter and requires a team that knows Muskogee’s unique landscape. We’re here to help you set up a complete plan that will provide for you and support your family.
