Civil Law Attorneys in Oklahoma City and Central Oklahoma

Shelton Voorhees Law Group is a general practice firm providing extensive experience in a broad spectrum of legal issues. Litigation is a main strength for lawyers at our firm, and we also extend consulting services and representation in the following practice areas:

Employment Law - We represent employers in a range of EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) complaints and employment litigation issues:

• Employment discrimination (age, race, gender, disability, national origin, religion, family medical leave or pregnancy leave)
• Sexual harassment / hostile work environment
• Wrongful termination or retaliation
• Wage and hour disputes
• Non-compete agreements

We represent businesses in negotiation and drafting of employee policies, restrictive covenants, and compensation or severance packages. We also represent businesses in unemployment matters and wage and hour disputes before administrative agencies.

Mediation Services - The use of mediation and other alternative resolution methods has grown extensively in recent years. Several members of the Firm are trained as mediators and arbitrators and have extensive mediation experience. We can mediate business disputes, divorce and family law matters, employment matters, and other civil disputes. Disputes can be mediated before a court proceeding is started, or while a court action is pending.

Criminal Defense - Our firm handles all types of criminal defense cases. Attorney Sharon Voorhees is knowledgeable in criminal law and processes. As a former prosecutor, she has the experience necessary to defend you in a criminal matter.

Appellate Practice - Shelton Voorhees Law Group handles appeals of all types of civil judgments and administrative rulings. Our attorneys have practiced in all counties and all federal courts of Oklahoma, including the federal Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
