Alexander Jon Smithley

I am an attorney at law for Mitchell-DeClerck, Oklahoma’s Oldest Law Firm. I love business/corporate law, contracts law, commercial litigation, oil & gas law, real property law, wills, trusts, & estates law, and bankruptcy law. I love business law and the legal issues that arise in it, such as contracts & agreements, commercial deals, negotiations, corporate governance, fiduciary duties of corporate officers, or even just business formation. Helping entrepreneurs, businesses, and our economy to thrive and be successful is a worthy mission. That way, they can provide for their families & loved ones and provide a good product that society would enjoy. Efficient commerce is a good goal. It’s necessary for our society to thrive. But being fair & honest when engaging in efficient commerce is just as necessary. We desire efficient commerce - but ALWAYS under the driving principles of good faith & fair dealing. I love being civically involved in my city's community, politics, & business scene because I greatly love my hometown, Enid, OK, and I want to make her the best place imaginable. Enid’s given me a lot to be grateful for - I can’t help but give back. I attended the mighty Michigan State University for my undergrad. I love MSU, and it will always be my alma mater. At MSU, I worked as a legal intern in a general practice law firm, Okemos Legal Group, PLLC. I also worked part-time at Jimmy John's to work my way through my undergrad, as well.
