Depending on the services you are looking for, our Cushing offices are here to help you, your family, or your business through any case listed in this guide.
With over a decade helping clients throughout Oklahoma, Texas, and Colorado, our attorneys understand what it takes to achieve results for each client we serve. We are committed to providing solutions for our clients, no matter the complexities that arise during a case. Additionally, our services are budget friendly compared to many other options throughout the Cushing, Oklahoma area.
If you find a service area that fits what you’re looking for, please contact our attorneys serving the Cushing area today!
Over the course of Ball Morse Lowe’s history, our attorneys have been dedicated to providing clients with the solutions they’re looking for, and family law is no exception to this rule. Our family law attorneys see the largest number of cases, and our family law team has expanded quickly as a result. Our family law attorneys understand that many of these cases hit close to home and have the potential to end relationships and families if not handled properly.
Many forget the number of services we provide when it comes to our family law practice. Divorce and custody battles are two of the most commonly used services in our family law practice, and we also provide services in adoption, protective orders, paternity, and father’s rights.
Here is a list of all the services we provide to Cushing residents:
Adoption – Adopting a child can be one of the most exciting parts of life, but also one of the most emotionally exhausting. Adoption is infamous for being time-consuming, and not understanding your options may effect the result you are attempting to achieve. With the correct advice from an experienced family law lawyer, you will understand everything it takes to welcome this new member to the family.
Child Custody – Child custody battles are known for being time-consuming and messy in many cases. Normally, both parents believe spending more time with them is what's best for the child, but it’s crucial to remember that this is not always the solution. The courts attempt to find a solution that’s in the best interest of the child. If you are looking to achieve results with your former partner regarding child custody, contact our family law firm!
Divorce – Divorce, similar to child custody, is time-consuming and messy, even in the best cases. At its very best, you will lose half of the assets you and your former spouse have gathered through the marriage. If you have children with your former spouse, you must also go through a child custody battle. If you are seeking the help of an experienced professional specializing in divorce, look no further than our family law lawyers in Cushing.
Protective Orders – Being the victim of abuse may leave you feeling isolated, and often helpless to remedy the situation you are dealing with. It is absolutely critical you remember that you are not alone and there are options available that can help you, including protective orders. With a protective order, you can make sure the abuser doesn’t have the chance to contact you in any way without ramifications. If you or a loved one are looking for a protective order, please contact our offices right away to explore your options.
Father’s Rights – Understanding your rights as a father may seem like you do not have an option when it comes to visitation. However, our family law attorneys are committed to granting fathers the ability to visit their children if possible. If you are looking to further understand your rights as a father, contact one of our attorneys today!
Paternity – Determining paternity can be a complex process, but it must be established in some cases to determine legal rights for the father, health insurance, and child support. There are three methods the courts use to establish paternity, including parentage, presumption, and acknowledgement. If you’re looking to determine paternity, look no further than our experienced family law attorneys.
In the intricate realm of Oklahoma family law, the right to appeal is paramount for ensuring justice and fairness in judicial decisions. An appeal provides a procedural recourse for parties who believe that the trial court's decision in their family law case was marred by legal misjudgments, judicial discretion abuse, or an unsupported verdict. The spectrum of family law matters eligible for appeal is broad, covering critical areas of familial relations and obligations.
Divorce Decisions – At the heart of many family law appeals lie disputes stemming from marriage dissolution. This includes contested decisions on the equitable distribution of marital assets, spousal support allocation, and other components of the divorce decree. Parties may appeal if they argue that these decisions were based on erroneous legal applications or factual misinterpretations.
Child Custody and Visitation – Children's welfare is paramount in family law, often leading to appellate review of custody and visitation rulings. Appeals in this area typically challenge the trial court's determinations, arguing they didn't adequately consider the child's best interests or were based on incorrect legal standards.
Child Support – Another crucial area involves the calculation of child support payments. Appellants may argue that the trial court deviated from guidelines without justification or that its determination was based on inaccurate financial evidence, requiring appellate intervention.
Adoption – The adoption process is legally complex, and decisions on parental rights termination or adoption finalization can be appealed. Such appeals often contend that the trial court overlooked crucial evidence or failed to adhere to adoption process legal standards.
Paternity – Disputes over paternity may lead to appeals challenging the legal and procedural basis of the trial court's findings, particularly concerning custody, visitation, and child support.
Protective Orders – Decisions on protective orders in domestic violence or harassment situations also fall under appellate review. These appeals typically argue that the trial court's decision was inconsistent with protective law aims or failed to consider relevant evidence.
Enforcement and Modification Orders – Orders enforcing or modifying existing family law judgments, whether related to custody, visitation, child support, or alimony, can be subjects of appeals. These appeals often assert that the trial court ignored new evidence, made erroneous findings, or misapplied the law.
Each area underscores the critical importance of appellate review in upholding justice and legal correctness in family law matters. Given the complexity and procedural rules governing appeals, parties considering this legal avenue are strongly advised to seek skilled attorneys' counsel with expertise in Oklahoma family law appeals. Such professional guidance is essential for navigating the appellate process effectively and advocating for the desired outcome.
The most useful advantage of using a criminal defense attorney in Oklahoma lies in their empathetic commitment, combined with specialized expertise and an intricate understanding of the complex legal terrain. These seasoned defense attorneys grasp the overwhelming nuances of criminal law and genuinely empathize with your predicament, offering tailored strategies backed by a deep familiarity with Oklahoma's laws, court protocols, and defense tactics. Their compassionate approach extends to skillfully evaluating your case's strengths and vulnerabilities, deftly navigating the legal system on your behalf, and engaging in earnest negotiations with prosecutors. Their unwavering dedication aims to potentially secure reduced charges or alternative sentencing options, all aimed at alleviating the impact of charges on your life. With their assistance, you gain legal representation and a caring ally who safeguards your rights, provides invaluable guidance, and wholeheartedly strives for a favorable outcome amid criminal accusations in Oklahoma.
Estate plans are often disregarded, with many thinking they can put off an estate plan until later in life. As many know, life does not come with guarantees. As terrifying as it is to think about, you never know when you may pass away. However, it’s highly recommended to pursue an estate plan with the help of an estate planning attorney sooner rather than later.
Estate Planning – Creating an estate plan is an important step in planning for the second half of your life. Because these plans determine how your assets are distributed following your passing, many think they don’t need to create one until later in life. However, it is strongly recommended to create an estate plan at any point during your adult life, as you never know what may happen down the line.
Elder Law – Elder law is the education provided to seniors on how to properly plan their finances for the second half of life. At Ball Morse Lowe, we understand the nature of elder law, and we are here to make the process as smooth we can. We value each of our clients, and our seniors are no exception to this belief.
Probate – Probate is a lengthy, expensive, and public case where the state of Oklahoma determines how your assets are distributed following your death. Even in cases with a will, probate is still required. There are a select number of estate plans that avoid probate, but we understand that sometimes avoiding probate is impossible. If a loved one failed to create an estate plan, leaving you and the rest of the family to gather their estate following their passing, we are here to help make this process as easy as possible.
Power of Attorney – A power of attorney is a legal document that serves as an agreement between an incapacitated individual and their selected agent, who acts on this individual’s behalf once they become unable to make decisions on their own. These powers can range from financial matters to medical matters, but both must adhere to the guidelines created this incapacitated individual.
Wills and Trusts – Wills and trusts are the most commonly used examples of estate plans that Ball Morse Lowe provides. Wills are legal documents that select your beneficiaries and assets, and who your minor children’s’ guardian will be following your death. With a trust, you can also select your beneficiaries and assets, as well as entirely avoid probate following your passing. At Ball Morse Lowe, we provide services for both of these estate plans, but we strongly recommend a trust over a will if you wish to avoid probate altogether.
Cohabitation Agreements – If you and your partner are looking for some financial security in your relationship, without getting married, cohabitation agreements may be the right choice. With a cohabitation agreement, you can determine how you would both like to share your assets during the relationship and what happens to them if the relationship ends. If you and your partner are interested in a cohabitation agreement, contact our estate planning attorneys today to explore your options!
Business law is a specific service area, as it does not apply to every individual in Oklahoma like family law or estate planning does. However, for those business owners, these services are absolutely important to keep their company performing its very best. Throughout the lifetime of a business, it is natural to hit speed bumps along the way that cause these companies to go to court. Below we have provided a list for all the services you may be seeking in Cushing.
Entity Formation – Starting a company from the ground up can be an exciting, but challenging part of your company’s timeline. We understand you may want to create the company as quickly as possible to get started, but it’s important to following all procedures in the creation of this business. With an entity formation attorney, you can rest knowing you’re following all steps to create a company with a bright future.
Business Litigation – After nearly a decade and a half in business, Ball Morse Lowe understands that every piece of litigation we deal with is complex, and business litigation matters are no exception. Business litigation can be expensive, depending if you are the owner of a small or large company. Our business law attorneys are here to help you navigate the litigation process, and we personalize each of the cases we deal with.
Succession Planning – Following several years of a successful business, you may have recently decided that it is time to pass the torch to a new owner. You understand that this choice is important, as it will determine the future of the company. At Ball Morse Lowe, our business law attorneys understand the importance of this decision, and we are devoted to achieving these results to the best of our ability.
Acquisitions – Acquiring a business is a big step in becoming a business owner. Both the buyer and seller have critical roles, with the buyer creating the paperwork and the seller negotiating prices. Acquiring a company can require entity formations, require leases, financing arrangements, valuations, and contracts. Our business law attorneys are committed to making this process go as smoothly as possible.
Mergers and Divestitures – Merging two or more companies into one single business can seem incredibly complicated, but the process can be easier with the help of an experienced professional. Divestitures are on the opposite side of mergers, as they allow a company to transfer any assets they no longer require. Regardless of the service you’re seeking, our business law attorneys have a wide array of knowledge available to you.
Enlisting a criminal defense attorney in Oklahoma offers significant advantages. These professionals combine empathy, specialized expertise, and a deep understanding of the legal landscape to handle criminal law intricacies, assess cases, and negotiate with prosecutors for reduced charges or alternative sentencing options. With their support, you have legal representation dedicated to protecting your rights and pursuing a favorable outcome.
Criminal Expungement – Individuals with a criminal record often seek a fresh start through expungement. In Cushing, this process can hide or seal prior records from public view, enhancing opportunities for employment and housing. Although not everyone is eligible, contacting Ball Morse Lowe can provide tailored advice and assistance. Call us today at 405.701.5355 or email clienintake@bml.law.
For this last section in this guide to our Cushing services, we have created a compilation of our services that you may still be seeking after reading through family law, estate planning and wills, and business law. None of these options fit into these categories, but we understand they are important services nonetheless.
Real Estate – Commercial or residential estates, no matter where they are in the country, are subject to certain legal matters every now and then. Whether you are seeking services in lease negotiations, contract breaches, contract disputes, warranty breaches, fraud, or foreclosure, our real estate attorneys are here to help you through these matters!
Product Liability – We have all been there. After buying a product, the item turns out to be completely defective. These items are usually easily refunded at the store you purchased them from, but what happens when this product is so harmful it causes injuries? If you have been injured due to a defective product, please contact our attorneys to explore your reimbursement options.
DUI – Receiving a DUI may make it seem like your life is over, but with the guidance of a seasoned criminal law attorney, it does not have to be. Our attorneys are committed to providing clients their restored rights following their DUI. We also assist certain people with criminal record expungements. Call our offices to explore your options today!
Criminal Expungement - There’s often one thing that people with a criminal record want - a fresh start. If you haven’t heard of it before, a criminal expungement is exactly this. In Stillwater, there’s an opportunity to either have prior records hidden from public view or sealed. What does this mean? In short, parties such as landlords and prospective employers will no longer see the record when performing background checks.
Importantly, this is not a pardon. With this in mind, a court or judge is required. Work with a Stillwater law firm to give yourself the best chance of success during this process. Although not everybody is eligible for a criminal expungement, call Ball Morse Lowe to get tailored advice.
Personal Injury – Have you ever been injured in an accident due to the negligence of another? If so, our attorneys can help you explore your options! We understand accidents happen, but when someone injures another after not properly paying attention, they are endangering another individual’s life. It’s important to correct this behavior if possible, and our attorneys can help you make it right!

I cannot thank Karen Pearson and her team enough for all the support they've shown me throughout my unfortunate divorce. With all the twists and turns thrown at my situation both in my personal life, but also my military career. This team always made me feel as though my case took priority. I will forever be grateful for them and highly recommend either of them to represent you as you drudge through your specific situation. Thank you again to Ball Morse Lowe team for everything you did on my behalf.
Ball Morse Lowe, PLLC offer exceptional knowledge in the oil and gas industry among many other things. I have worked with Senior Attorney, Chris Michael, multiple times and he continues to exceed expectations. If you are looking for a group of hard working, time efficient, diligent, and ethical attorneys, Ball Morse Lowe, PLLC and specifically Chris Michael would be a great choice.
I felt like I mattered. I felt like what I had to say was important. Glenn was thoughtful, encouraging and understanding. She helped me navigate the process and validated my thoughts about things I was not sure. Thank you Glenn!!! It was great working with you!
I turned to Ball Morse Lowe PLCC when I needed my mother's estate probated in Oklahoma. It involved mineral rights and I live in California and my mother had not lived in OK for over 60 years. I wanted a firm that would do this correctly and be reasonable in cost. Brian Hill was a pleasure to work with. He and his staff were professional, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They made the experience of probate painless, explained things as we went along, and were clear in their expectation of what they would need from me to move the process forward. I am so glad I found them and appreciate deeply all they accomplished on my behalf.
