Oklahoma’s second largest city is an exciting place, and not just because of the weather.  Home to nearly 400,000 residents, T-town serves as corporate headquarters for Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group and QuikTrip, and houses renowned institutions such as Oral Roberts University, the Philbrook Museum, and the Tulsa Garden Center. Legal issues inevitably crop up in its 186 square miles and Tulsa has the courts to accommodate them. Below is a reference guide to the main courthouses in Tulsa.<\/p>\n
