My name is Amy C. Pearsons, and I was born and raised here in Oklahoma.  I attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas and returned to Oklahoma four years after graduation and working in Texas.  I have spent my life helping others both in the non-profit sector, family companies, and in the oil and gas industry here in Oklahoma.  I returned to law school to pursue law as a second career.   Helping others both in civil and criminal matters or to grow their oil and gas business is part of my God-given calling.  I hope you will choose me when it is "time to call an attorney." Thank you for your time.  Looking forward to hearing from you.
