Introduction
Few Oklahoma attorneys hold the combination of qualifications that Lloyd Brent Palmer brings to Palmer Law PLC: enrolled citizenship in the Chickasaw Nation, twenty years of military service, and active licensure in all Indian nations within Oklahoma. That background makes the firm a distinctive resource for Oklahoma residents navigating divorce, custody, and DUI matters in state, federal, and tribal courts, particularly following the McGirt decision, which significantly expanded the scope of tribal jurisdiction across the state. The firm operates multiple offices throughout Oklahoma and can be reached at 405-510-0911 (Central), 580-495-4445 (East), and 405-542-2529 (West).
Practice Areas
Palmer Law PLC focuses on two primary areas: family law and DUI defense, with a specialized capability in tribal court representation that most Oklahoma law firms cannot offer.
Family law practice areas include:
- Divorce proceedings in state, federal, and tribal courts
- Child custody disputes, including those involving tribal membership or treaty rights
- Related family law matters across all Oklahoma counties
DUI defense practice areas include:
- First-time DUI offenses, including exploration of diversionary programs and treatment alternatives
- Repeat DUI violations carrying escalating statutory penalties
- Felony DUI cases involving injury or death
- Military DUI matters, where court-martial implications and security clearance consequences require specific legal strategy
For cases outside these practice areas, Palmer Law PLC connects clients with appropriate legal representation rather than declining without direction.
Attorney Profiles
Lloyd Brent Palmer is the lead attorney at Palmer Law PLC and brings an unusual combination of credentials to Oklahoma legal practice. As an enrolled citizen of the Chickasaw Nation, he has direct standing in tribal court proceedings and personal knowledge of the legal frameworks governing Native American communities throughout Oklahoma.
Palmer served twenty years in the military and holds the position of Legal Administrator for the Oklahoma Army National Guard. This background makes him particularly effective in DUI cases involving military personnel, where the consequences extend beyond standard criminal penalties to include potential court-martial, security clearance review, and career impact.
Following the McGirt decision, which confirmed that substantial portions of eastern Oklahoma remain within tribal territory for certain criminal jurisdiction purposes, Palmer Law PLC became a significant resource for clients whose legal matters now touch both state and tribal court systems.

Palmer Law PLC maintains satellite offices serving all Oklahoma counties. The firm organizes its coverage across three regional zones:

- Central Oklahoma: 405-510-0911
- West Oklahoma: 405-542-2529
Beyond geographic Oklahoma, the firm holds licensure in all Indian nations within the state, giving it the ability to appear in tribal courts that many Oklahoma attorneys cannot access.

For clients whose cases involve both Oklahoma state courts and tribal jurisdiction, Palmer Law PLC offers representation that spans both systems without requiring multiple attorneys. Additional information is available at callpalmer.com/
Client Focus
Palmer Law PLC serves two distinct client groups. The first is Oklahoma families navigating divorce and custody matters, including those where tribal affiliation creates jurisdictional complexity. The second is individuals facing DUI charges, particularly those in the military or National Guard where standard DUI penalties represent only part of the potential consequences.
For clients whose cases fall outside the firm scope, Palmer Law PLC provides referrals to appropriate counsel rather than leaving them without direction.
Free consultations are available at all regional offices.
