Private Investigator
Private investigators offer a great wealth of knowledge, wisdom, and insight for all criminal cases. The Edge Law Firm’s private investigator is a highly awarded, former police lieutenant for the Tulsa Police department with 25 years of experience.
After an arrest, Mr. Ballenger is responsible for immediately conducting a full-scale investigation of your case to preserve all evidence. He will investigate the scene of the arrest and begin to collect valuable evidence to prove your side of the story. This includes taking a picture, videos, and calculated measurements. Next, Mr. Ballenger will request and meticulously comb through the police reports, bodycam footage, nearby security camera footage, audio files, court documents, witness testimony, and any test results to uncover contradictions, errors, or omissions from the police or other government agencies. By the time we get to court, The Edge Law firm will know more about your case than the arresting officer or prosecutor, and that type of insight and preparation is what wins cases.
DPS Attorney
Attorney Brian Morton is responsible for contesting driver’s license suspensions and revocations for DUI cases. His main goal is to preserve our client’s ability to continue to drive while their DUI charge is being defended by the Edge Law Firm. Mr. Morton will present facts and evidence to the judge and argue that their driving ability should immediately be restored. He will also begin collecting valuable insight about what evidence the prosecution and arresting officer have against our client in the separate criminal case. During the DPS hearing, Mr. Morton will have the ability to question the arresting officer on the stand, which will give our defense team a wealth of knowledge that we can use to our client’s advantage to disprove that they were driving under the influence. The smallest details can lead to the best outcomes. Mr. Morton is known for his successful outcomes for DUI cases. He has been responsible for having Oklahoma laws declared unconstitutional and has gone as far as taking 3 cases to the Supreme Court, which led to over 10,000 breath tests being declared invalid.
