Tulsa, Oklahoma
Margaret Hamlett has been the Community Education & Pro Se Coordinator for Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma since 2004. She develops, writes, and curates content for Legal Aid and the statewide web sites for clients (OKLaw.org) and advocates (ProBono.Net/OK); manages two current TIG Projects and various special technology and court involvement projects. A member of the Oklahoma Bar since 1987, Margaret began private practice in a tax and corporate transaction firm handling tax, business mergers/acquisitions and estate planning matters. Her first pro bono case with Legal Aid in the first year of practice introduced her to Legal Aid's good works. In 2000, Margaret took the opportunity to experience community lawyering, by working with the homeless, people with serious mental illnesses and their families and women reintegrating from prison.
