Sep 25, 2026
Hw do I help clients resolve complex disputes?
Having practiced law in Tulsa since 1973, I have developed a keen understanding of how organizations operate, and how conflicts can develop when business, employment, property or institutional interests collide. That perspective informs how I assess a dispute, identify the core issues, and determine how to move a matter forward.

Craig Hoster brings deep experience in disputes involving business torts, complex breaches of contract, labor and employment matters, real estate, oil and gas, condemnation, trucking accidents and even church law.
