Once known as primarily an Oklahoma family law firm, Fry & Elder continues to grow and expand. Partner M. Shane Henry recently received his license to practice law in the state of Texas, making him the first Fry & Elder attorney to expand his reach outside of the Sooner State.

“It’s a big deal,” Henry said. “We want to continue to grow, become a bigger name in the legal landscape and have access to more clients and cases. This is a step in the right direction.”

Henry, who has been with Fry & Elder since 2010 and a partner since 2013, was named to the distinguished 2015 Super Lawyers Rising Star List. He also is an AV Preeminent Rated Trial Lawyer by Martindale Hubbell, which is the highest recognition in the legal industry.

Henry is flanked by fellow Fry & Elder partners Robert G “Hap” Fry Jr., and James R. Elder, and associates Luke Barteaux and Aaron D. Bundy. They have helped Fry & Elder establish itself as not just one of the premier law firms in Oklahoma, but in the United States. U.S. News & World Report named the firm to its list of Best Law Firms of 2015, and Fry, Barteaux and Bundy also garnered accolades from Super Lawyers®.

While the firm historically has channeled its efforts and resources primarily in the realm of Oklahoma family law, Fry & Elder now offers criminal law and personal injury defense services.
