Founded in 1972 by four graduates from the University of Tulsa College of Law, Riggs Abney is one of Oklahoma’s largest law firms. Riggs, Abney, Neal & Turpen, merged with the firm Robinson, Lewis, Orbison, Smith and Coyle in 1994 to become Riggs, Abney, Neal, Turpen, Orbison & Lewis. Today, the firm is known simply as Riggs Abney, with offices in Tulsa, Oklahoma City and Denver, providing broad based legal counsel and representation in all aspects of law.

 

"Our dedication to public service is equaled only by our dedication to our clients."

 

At the very core of our ethos is the call to public service. Through the firm, our attorneys and staff are involved in numerous charitable organizations. M. David Riggs was a member of the Oklahoma State Legislature for 18 years, and has served as Chairman of the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation Commission, the Oklahoma Nature Conservancy and the Sutton Avian Research Center. Michael C. Turpen was Oklahoma’s Attorney General from 1982 to 1986, and has helped organize and chair many philanthropic activities and events across the state. James C. Orbison is a past Chairman of the Education State Lottery Commission, past Vice-Chairman of the Tulsa County Public Facilities Authority, Director of the Tulsa Historical Society, Director of the Center for Legislative Excellence, Trustee of the OSU Lew Wentz Foundation, past Chairman and member of the Oklahoma Transportation Authority and former member of the Federal Home Bank Board. C.S. Lewis, III and Melvin C. Hall have both served as Chairmen on the University of Oklahoma Board of Regents. Hall also served as the Executive Director of the Oklahoma Human Rights Commission. Members of every office are active in numerous charitable, civic and service organizations. It is this commitment to public service that gives us our singular identity.

 

Our dedication to public service is equaled only by our dedication to our clients. The cause of the client is the cause of the Riggs Abney attorney, and each client, regardless of size or the nature of the needed service, has our extensive knowledge, competence and experience at their disposal.

We strive for courage with consistency. In the courtroom and at the office, yes. But we’re most proud of what you’ll see in our neighborhoods.

Many of us have held public office, and still more of us serve hundreds of hours every year helping our kids and Scouts, our parks and pets, the weak, sick and needy.
