Barnard, Christian D.

Christian D. Barnard
Associate Attorney
Office: Tulsa, Oklahoma

By focusing exclusively on family law, Christian D. Barnard saw the opportunity to help his clients navigate the difficult and often confusing legal system in an area of law that has a real and lasting impact on people’s lives.

"I take pride in standing beside them as someone they can trust and rely on through the entire process; someone who has their interests and goals in mind every step of the way," Mr. Barnard said.

Be it a client, judge, or opposing counsel, Mr. Barnard said he can easily build rapport with people, a skill that allows him to be extremely persuasive.

"It cannot be overstated how important it is to be persuasive and to use one’s connections and relationships to accomplish the client’s goals," he said. "Divorce can be a confusing, difficult, and at times infuriating process and you cannot overestimate the value of having someone you can trust who will actively advocate for you and diligently protect your rights."
