NEW VIDEO: In Oklahoma, a first-time DUI that you think is “just a misdemeanor” can flip into a felony much faster than most people realize. Under SB 54, things like a slightly higher BAC, speeding, a minor in the car, or even a “reportable” accident can suddenly expose you to years in prison, mandatory jail time, and strict supervision.

In this video, Oklahoma criminal defense attorney John Cannon breaks down what SB 54 changed, the 7 aggravating factors that can turn a first DUI into a felony, and how alcohol, marijuana, and small driving mistakes can all play into your charges. If you drive in Oklahoma—or you’re already facing a DUI—this is the law you cannot afford to misunderstand.

NEW VIDEO: Getting hit with a weapons charge in Oklahoma can feel like your whole life is on the line—especially when you’re not even sure what you did wrong or how “possession” is being defined against you. One bad decision early on, like talking too much or assuming the charge is “no big deal,” can make the situation much worse.

In this video, Oklahoma criminal defense attorney John Cannon explains how weapons charges really work in Oklahoma—what counts as a weapons offense, how police stops and searches can be challenged, when “lack of knowledge” can be a defense, and how prosecutors try to prove you were in possession of a weapon. If you’re facing a gun or weapons charge (or trying to help someone who is), this walkthrough shows why staying silent, acting early, and getting an experienced Oklahoma defense lawyer on your side is so important.
