NOTICE RE COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS) OUTBREAK: The Oklahoma Supreme Court, Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals, and the District Court of Bryan County issued orders late in the day on March 16, 2020 regarding scheduling or continuing matters during the current public health crisis.  The text of the Oklahoma Supreme Court's and Court of Criminal Appeals' joint order can be found here: scad-2020-24.pdf  The text of Bryan County's order can be found here: ao20000.005.pdf
The short version of these is that civil cases are largely being rescheduled, while criminal cases are NOT.  IF YOU ARE A CLIENT, UNLESS WE TELL YOU OTHERWISE YOU ARE REQUIRED TO APPEAR IN COURT ON A CRIMINAL CASE OR A WARRANT MAY BE ISSUED FOR YOUR ARREST.  If you fall into one of the following categories, AND PROVIDE PROOF TO US PRIOR TO YOUR COURT DATE, then we should be able to get your appearance excused:
       a. Persons who have been diagnosed with or have direct contact with anyone diagnosed with COVID-19.
       b. Persons with symptoms such as fever, severe cough, or shortness of breath.
       c. Persons who have traveled to any country outside of the U.S. in the past 14 days, and those with whom they live or have had close contact.
       d. Persons who are quarantined or isolated by any doctor or who voluntarily quarantine.
We will be working to minimize in-person appointments during this emergency, and expect to be rescheduling those that are not absolutely time-sensitive.  Please check our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/hlopllc/) for updates on this developing situation, and in the meantime, be patient and please PLEASE follow the directives from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) as they work to bring these matters under control.
