Questions, answered.
The short version: the cooperative governs the firm, but only the lawyer or lawyers named in a written engagement agreement represent a client.
What is a legal cooperative?
All Rise! is a law firm organized around cooperative governance. Attorney-members help govern the organization while retaining independent professional judgment and responsibility for the matters they accept.
How does the cooperative structure benefit clients?
The model supports shared resources, practical collaboration, and direct access to the attorney responsible for the matter. It is designed to put the right experience around a problem without adding unnecessary hierarchy.
Who works on my matter?
Only the lawyer or lawyers identified in the engagement agreement represent the client. Other people shown on this website are not automatically part of a matter and do not receive client information by default.
Does browsing the website or contacting the firm create an attorney-client relationship?
No. A relationship begins only after conflict review, agreement on scope and terms, execution of a written engagement agreement, and receipt of any required retainer or advance fee.
How are legal fees handled?
Fees depend on the matter and may be hourly, flat, contingent when permitted and appropriate, recurring, or otherwise structured in a written agreement. The firm will explain the proposed arrangement before an engagement begins.
Where does All Rise! serve clients?
The firm is based in Oklahoma City and evaluates matters across Oklahoma, including the Tulsa area. Representation outside Oklahoma depends on licensure, court admission, the matter, and whether local counsel or another arrangement is required. All Rise! does not maintain a Tulsa office.
Where can I learn more about worker cooperatives?
The U.S. Federation of Worker Cooperatives and the Democracy at Work Institute publish educational resources about worker ownership. Those independent resources describe the broader movement; All Rise!’s legal and ethical obligations remain governed by applicable law and professional rules.
