Criminal Defense Representation in Tulsa, Oklahoma
Being arrested, charged with a crime, or learning that you are under investigation can raise immediate questions about what happens next and what you should do. Henson Law Firm represents people facing criminal charges in Tulsa and throughout Northeast Oklahoma, including clients who have already been charged as well as people who learn about an investigation before charges are filed.
Rob Henson handles criminal cases ranging from misdemeanors and DUI matters to serious felony allegations. The firm represents clients in cases involving drug crimes, assault and battery, theft, burglary, gun charges, sex offenses, and other Oklahoma criminal matters. The particular charge matters, but so do the facts behind it, the evidence the State intends to use, and the way that evidence was obtained.
A careful defense begins with understanding what actually happened. Rob reviews the charging allegations and available discovery and, when relevant, examines witness statements, body camera or other video evidence, searches and seizures, statements to law enforcement, electronic evidence, and other information that may affect the case. The goal is to identify weaknesses in the State’s evidence, determine whether dismissal may be possible, and evaluate whether evidence can be challenged or suppressed when the facts and law support doing so.
Not every criminal case follows the same path. Some cases may present an opportunity for dismissal or suppression. Others may require negotiation for the best available resolution, while some should be prepared for trial. Rob works to make those decisions deliberately and to ensure that his clients understand the benefits, risks, and possible consequences of the choices before them.

Your Attorney
Meet Rob Henson
When you hire Henson Law Firm, Rob Henson is the attorney responsible for your case. For nearly two decades, Rob has represented people facing criminal charges in Oklahoma and has handled more than 30 jury and non-jury trials. He believes effective representation requires careful preparation, straightforward advice, and a willingness to take a case to trial when that is the right course.
Rob deliberately limits the number of cases he accepts so that he can give each matter meaningful time and personal attention. He works directly with his clients, reviews the evidence behind the accusations they face, and stays accessible as the case develops. The goal is not simply to move a case through the system, but to understand the evidence, identify the issues that matter, and prepare the defense for the decisions ahead.
No criminal defense attorney can promise a particular result. Rob can promise that your case will receive his attention, preparation, and best efforts.
A Deliberate Defense
Every case is different. The approach should be deliberate.
A criminal case should not be handled by simply reacting to what the prosecution does next. Rob works to understand the circumstances, examine the evidence, identify the issues that may affect the case, and prepare for the decisions that follow.
Listen and Understand
Start with the facts and the client.
Understanding the accusation is only the beginning. Rob takes the time to learn what happened, what concerns the client has, what information is available, and what matters most before deciding how the defense should proceed.
Prepare With Care
Look beyond the accusation to the evidence behind it.
Preparation includes reviewing discovery, police reports, witness statements, body camera or other video, search warrant materials, electronic evidence, and other records relevant to the case. It can also require legal research, further investigation, or when appropriate, consultation with an expert. That preparation is used to identify weaknesses in the State’s case, determine whether evidence can be challenged or suppressed, and evaluate whether dismissal may be possible. If dismissal is not available, the focus shifts to negotiating the best available resolution or preparing the case for trial.
Act Strategically
Make informed decisions as the case develops.
A sound defense strategy is not static. New evidence, legal issues, negotiations, and developments in court can change the choices available. Rob explains those choices, the potential benefits and risks of each, and his recommendation so the client can make informed decisions about how to proceed. The goal is to remain prepared, deliberate, and responsive throughout the case.

Start With What You Know
You do not need to have every answer before you call.
If you have been arrested, charged with a crime, or learned that you are under investigation, start with the information you have: the charge or allegation, the county or court, the next court date, and whether you are calling on behalf of a loved one who is currently in jail. Those details can help begin the conversation. However, if you do not have any of that information yet, that is fine. You do not need to know exactly what has happened or have all of the details before you call.
