Danielle Hasty

Partner & Managing Attorney
Probate Division

I’m Danielle. I’ve been a Lion Lawyer for quite some time now and made partner here in April of 2022.

I was born in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma (outside Tulsa), but am a proud Razorback.  Gamma Eta got me through the U of A and karaoke at the Town Pump got me through law school at Bowen.

My work history prior to Lion Legal includes banks, banks, and more banks, which makes sense given my career at Lion Legal as an Associate Attorney, then Managing Attorney and now Partner in charge of the Probate and Estate Planning Divisions at the firm.

All of our probate, transactional and criminal cases cross my desk at some point or another, though I mainly focus on estate planning and administering estates, debt defense, and various administrative appeals.

I truly believe in our no-nonsense team approach to resolving clients’ issues. Unlike most folks, I’m non-confrontational and quiet. Don’t let that fool you into complacency, though. Details are my strong-suit; my introverted “woman of few words” demeanor complements well the other attorneys on my team who take a bigger picture approach.

Clients are apprehensive, sometimes, that my quiet personality does not belong in the courtroom. Being true to yourself (in and outside the courtroom) is the most effective lawyer-ing technique, trust me. My questioning and arguments are more persuasive because they are not hidden behind superfluous chit-chat, talking just to hear myself talk (you know which lawyers I’m talking about!).

As a Partner and Managing Attorney my primary responsibility is to lead our team to ensure we exceed five-star legal services on each case we handle and live our Lion Values while doing it. Every time we have a tough decision to make, we evaluate what we said we’d do in that boardroom a few years back when we came up with these values and the real-life, in-the-moment decision becomes clear.

My personal life is pretty quiet as well– pets, plants, book club and mom life. Dance parties with my son Grissom, Halloween, craft beer, good food, and watching Razorback baseball with my husband Daniel (Danielle and Daniel..fun right?) are a few of my favorite things.
