D. Mitchell Garrett Jr.
Founding Attorney, Garrett Law — Tulsa, Oklahoma
Mitchell Garrett built his practice on a simple belief: ordinary people deserve a lawyer who will stand up to powerful institutions on their behalf — and actually fight. A Marine Corps veteran and a recognized Super Lawyers honoree, Mitchell represents Oklahomans in civil rights, personal injury, bankruptcy, and criminal defense matters in state and federal court. Clients consistently describe him as prepared, straightforward, and genuinely in their corner.
A Marine's Approach to the Practice of Law
Before he was an attorney, Mitchell served in the United States Marine Corps — an experience that still shapes how he practices: disciplined preparation, loyalty to the people who count on him, and a refusal to back down from a difficult fight. He carries a particular passion for veterans' issues and brings that same sense of duty to every client he represents. When you hire Garrett Law, you get someone who treats your case like it matters, because to him it does.

Mitchell earned his undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University and his law degree from the University of Tulsa College of Law. He is admitted to practice before the Oklahoma state courts and the federal courts in Oklahoma, and he has handled matters at the trial and appellate levels.

A Practice Built on Accountability
The thread running through Mitchell's work is accountability — making sure that those with power, whether a government agency, an insurance company, or a creditor, answer for how they treat the people with the least leverage. It's demanding work that many lawyers avoid, and it's exactly the work he's chosen to build his career around.
