About Neal B. Kirkpatrick
Beginning in June, 1990, I was employed by the United States Department of Justice as an Assistant United States Attorney (Federal prosecutor) in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I retired from the Department of Justice in March, 2009. Before then, I was a solo practitioner in Fort Smith, Arkansas, with an emphasis on banking, transportation, personal injury, and commercial law.
In March, 2007 I retired after 27 years service as a JAG officer with the Air National Guard, where I was the chief legal officer of an F-16 fighter wing. I am admitted to practice in all courts in Oklahoma and Arkansas, before the United States Supreme Court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, the United States Courts of Appeals for the Fifth, Eighth, and Tenth Circuits, and all Federal courts in the Oklahoma and Arkansas.
Since my retirement from Federal service, I have represented a number of defendants in both Federal and State courts.
