What Tomlinson McKinstry does

Tomlinson McKinstry, P.C. is an Oklahoma City-based professional law corporation founded in 2005. The firm provides litigation, intellectual property, transactional, employment, and personal injury legal services to clients ranging from individuals to Fortune 500 corporations. Named representative matters include bad-faith litigation for major insurance carriers, Medicaid/Medicare cost recovery defense for Philip Morris, construction contract disputes for hospitals and major state universities, fraudulent overcharge recovery for an international gas pipeline company, and patent infringement work for construction equipment manufacturers and oil-field service firms.

The firm's core offering is six practice areas delivered by approximately ten attorneys: Insurance Litigation, Litigation and Product Safety, Inventions and Branding (IP), Business Transactions and Disputes, Personal Injury, and Employer Defense. A distinguishing structural feature is the technical depth of the attorney bench, with multiple lawyers holding engineering degrees (mechanical, chemical, aerospace) and prior industry experience at Sandia Corporation, Charles Machine Works (Ditch Witch), and Textron Aviation. The firm positions itself as trial-ready on every matter and combines small-firm client relationships with what it describes as large-firm breadth of expertise.

The business model is traditional professional services. Revenue is generated through legal service fees across mixed fee structures—hourly billing for litigation and advisory work, flat fees on certain transactional matters, and contingency arrangements on personal injury matters. Go-to-market is relationship- and reputation-led, relying on referrals, the firm's website (tmoklaw.com), direct attorney outreach, and bar-association positioning rather than digital marketing or paid acquisition. The firm has a single Oklahoma City office at Leadership Square and reports operating with 1-10 employees.
