Voted Oklahoma's Best Personal Injury Law Firm
Oklahomans across the state have recognized the Abel Law Firm's unique heritage
as a statewide institution. Founded by Ed Abel, and today led by his son, Luke Abel, our personal
injury law firm has become synonymous with empathy, compassion, and the highest professional
performance serving our neighbors. Our family has sought to leave a profound impact upon the State
of Oklahoma. We appreciate that former Governor Mary Fallin recognized that dedication when she
declared May 1st "Ed Abel Day."
To be named Oklahoma's Best Personal Injury Law Firm is humbling. We are grateful to have won this
prestigious honor. We work every day to earn the trust of those we serve: Oklahoma families who are
facing some of the most difficulty days of their lives due to the negligence of others. It is our
intention and resolve to continue to be deserving of the faith Oklahomans have placed in our
family's law firm. Thank you!
