CRIMINAL LAW SECTION

My name is Danny Levy and I am a prosecutor with the Tulsa County DistrictAttorney’s Office. I am excited to chair this year’s Criminal Law Section. 2020 has brought sweeping changes to the practice of criminal law in Tulsa County. The McGirt decision fundamentally altered the foundation of criminal law practice. COVID-19, and its associated consequences continue to present practitioners with an ever changing (and sometimes virtual) courthouse experience. My goal is to use the Criminal Law Section to tackle these challenges as we adapt to our ever changing new normal. I look forward to seeing you soon—hopefully in person! Please feel free to email me at dlevy@tulsacounty. org with any questions or suggestions.
