Ronald E. Stakem

Ron Stakem has more than forty-four years of broad legal experience and diverse talent. As a young lawyer, Ron learned early that he could employ his skills in analysis and advocacy in numerous different areas of the law, enjoy the variety of work, and succeed as an adviser and advocate for his clients.
Ron graduated from Harvard College in 1969 with a degree in Biology. He planned to be a high school science and math teacher and athletic coach. That plan was interrupted by military service, followed by a stint as a management trainee with Travelers Insurance Company. Working at Travelers rekindled his interest in studying law, which he first experienced in a college Constitutional Law course.
A relative who practiced law in the oil and gas industry in Oklahoma and Texas advised Ron to pursue private law practice in Dallas or Houston, or Tulsa or Oklahoma City. “Go to law school in Texas or Oklahoma, learn their law practice, and make friends. The law is parochial and will remain that way the rest of your life.” That was great advice. Ron enrolled in OU College of Law in 1972 and graduated in 1975. Among the friends he made in law school are three other lawyers in the firm, David Cheek, Bob Thompson and Robert Roark.
