A fourth-generation Oklahoman, Jeffrey Hendrickson’s career is dedicated to defending individuals and entities in high-value, high-pressure litigation. His practice focuses on representing medical entities and medical professionals in professional negligence lawsuits, employers in labor and employment disputes and other issues affecting the workplace, and government entities and government officials in all manner of litigation, but most specifically on civil rights claims under Section 1983 involving the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments. Jeffrey also maintains a lively appellate practice, having authored and submitted multiple merits briefs to, and offered oral argument, at the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, and having submitted amicus briefs in the Fourth and Eleventh Circuit Courts of Appeals. Jeffrey has also authored six amicus briefs to the United States Supreme Court, most recently in the fall of 2024. He has been named a “Rising Star” by the SuperLawyers magazine for three consecutive years beginning in 2022.

Jeffrey, his wife Sarah Margaret, and their two daughters live in the Putnam Heights neighborhood of Oklahoma City. The Hendricksons are members of Frontline Church downtown and give back to Oklahoma City through regular volunteering at Frontline’s 405 Center. In his spare time, Jeffrey enjoys reading, playing the piano, playing tennis, playing golf, and cheering on the Oklahoma State University Cowboys and Cowgirls and the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Hendricksons also enjoy cooking, traveling, and spending time with their friends and family.
