Native American tribes can pass laws on their land, which vary depending on the reservation. However, in 2020, a Supreme Court Ruling – McGirt V. Oklahoma overturned a conviction for a prisoner on death row. This has set a precedent for other people facing charges under tribal law.

Essentially, the Court ruled that prosecution of crimes committed on Native American land falls under tribal jurisdiction, including Indians who commit crimes on Indian Land, or people who commit crimes against Native Americans on Native American Land.

This has resulted in criminal convictions being overturned and charges being dismissed across Oklahoma City, OK.

Our skilled Oklahoma tribal law attorneys have the skills, resources, and experience to navigate your case on the federal, state and tribal levels. We will do everything possible to secure a dismissal or an overturn of your case so that your future is protected, and you can walk away free.
