What Happens Right After an Arrest

- A protective order can be filed as a separate case with its own hearing.
- The other person cannot drop the charges. The District Attorney decides whether the case goes forward.
- Calls from jail are recorded, and texts become evidence.
What a Conviction Can Cost You
- Jail time, even on a first-offense misdemeanor.
- Felony charges for a second offense, strangulation, great bodily injury, or an offense in front of a child.
- Loss of the right to possess a firearm under federal law.
- A lengthy court-ordered intervention program.
- Effects on custody, housing, employment, and professional licenses.
How We Defend These Cases
The 911 call and body camera
What was said in the first minutes often differs from the written report.
Self-defense
Oklahoma law allows you to defend yourself. We look for the evidence that shows who started it.
Motive and credibility
Divorce, custody, and money disputes produce exaggerated and false accusations. We investigate them.
Physical evidence
Photos, medical records, and witness statements either support the story or they do not.
The protective order
We handle the protective order hearing along with the criminal case so one does not damage the other.
You Hire Keaton. You Get Keaton.
- You talk to your attorney. Keaton handles your case himself and returns your calls and texts.
- Courtroom-ready. Every case is prepared as if it will be tried, which is what gives a negotiation its weight.
- Local. Raised in Broken Arrow, University of Tulsa College of Law, and in Tulsa County courtrooms every week.
- Straight answers. You will hear what you are facing, what your options are, and what it will cost before you decide anything.
What Clients Say
Reviews are from clients across Keaton’s criminal defense practice.
"A little over a month after this entire ordeal started he called and told me the charges had been dismissed. We never even stepped foot back into the courtroom after he got involved."
"Mr. Taylor saved me in a super scary situation and did his very best to not only defend me, but he got my case dismissed. He’s very easy to understand and has very good legal skills!"
"I was a nervous mess but Keaton Taylor helped me through the whole ordeal. I don’t like anything to do with court and have never had to go to court before. He helped me throughout the whole ordeal and I will forever be grateful to him!"
What Happens When You Call
- We talk. A free, confidential review of where things stand.

- We go to work. We get the reports and recordings, handle the protective order, and deal with the prosecutor so you do not have to.
Common Questions
The other person wants to drop it. Is the case over?
No. The State can proceed without their cooperation. Their wishes matter, but they do not end the case.
Can I go home?
Not if a no-contact condition or protective order says otherwise. We can ask the court to modify it.
Should I give the police my side?
Not without a lawyer. Statements meant to explain are routinely used to convict.
Will this affect my gun rights?
A domestic violence conviction, even a misdemeanor, carries a federal firearm ban.
How much does it cost?
You get a clear quote during your case review, before you commit to anything.
