Fry & Elder

Fry & Elder stands as a cornerstone of Oklahoma family law, with roots reaching back to 1932 when the visionary C. Lawrence Elder first began trying and winning cases throughout the state. Today, this venerable Tulsa firm has evolved into a powerful force in divorce and family law, boasting six accomplished trial lawyers and a deeply experienced support team. The firm's legacy of excellence is exemplified by managing partner Robert G. 'Hap' Fry Jr., whose remarkable career spanning over four decades has earned him the distinguished honor of being named Lawyer of the Year for Family Law in Oklahoma in 2016. What truly sets Fry & Elder apart is their unwavering commitment to understanding that family dissolution is far more than a legal matter—it's a profoundly personal journey. The team approaches each case with the kind of seasoned wisdom that comes only from decades of courtroom experience. Whether navigating straightforward uncontested divorces or tackling the most complex, emotionally charged custody disputes, Fry & Elder's attorneys bring a combination of legal prowess and genuine human compassion. The firm's consistent recognition by U.S. News & World Report as one of the nation's Best Law Firms year after year speaks volumes about their dedication to client service and case outcomes. Robert Fry's achievement as one of just 19 attorneys in the entire state to be named a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers demonstrates an exceptional level of expertise and peer recognition that clients can rely on. The firm has successfully guided families through protective order proceedings, child custody arrangements, and complex financial divisions that protect their clients' futures and preserve dignity throughout the process.
