Scott B. Goode
Attorney at Law
Scott was born in Tulsa Oklahoma on August 29th 1977 and grew up in the Grand
Lake area. He joined the United States Navy after graduating high school in 1995
and served his four years of duty on the USS Enterprise, launching and recovering
aircraft from the flight deck. During his time on the ship he earned multiple
letters of commendation from various Admirals and Captains.
Upon his honorable discharge from the military, he moved to Tahlequah
Oklahoma and began working on his business management degree while
minoring in accounting at Northeastern State University. He completed this
program in three and a half years.
After earning his bachelor's degree, he started law school at the University of Tulsa and earned his Juris

attorney. He worked, during law school, at the Tulsa County Public Defender's Office as a legal intern and
during his time at the public defender's office he realized criminal defense was his passion. He
passed the bar exam on his first attempt and scored in multiple areas in the top 95 percentile of the nation.
In the past 10 years he has worked both in the public and private sector of criminal defense and has more
than 35 felony jury trials under his belt. These trials include charges ranging from murder in the first
degree to misdemeanor driving under the influence.
He has worked closely with private investigators in both the public and private sector of criminal defense
and enjoys the investigation almost as much as trying the cases.
Scott is an expert in criminal litigation and more specifically both Fourth Amendment and eye witness
identification issues.
