On Wednesday, July 30, 2025, the Oklahoma Supreme Court suspended attorney James Albert Conrady from practicing law. This decision follows a complaint filed by the Oklahoma Bar Association (OBA), which cited serious concerns regarding Conrady’s conduct.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of James Albert Conrady,” with case number SCBD 7863.
The OBA’s complaint, submitted under Rule 6 of the Rules Governing Disciplinary Proceedings, indicated that Conrady’s actions posed an immediate threat of significant and irreparable harm to the public.
The OBA sought an emergency interim suspension, requesting that Conrady be prohibited from withdrawing funds from his Interest on Lawyers’ Trust Accounts (IOLTA) pending a full audit. The Professional Responsibility Commission concurred with the OBA’s request, emphasizing the need for immediate action to protect clients’ legal and financial interests.
The Supreme Court ordered Conrady to demonstrate why the interim suspension should not be enacted. However, he did not respond to the Court’s request for justification. After reviewing the OBA’s application, the Court determined that immediate suspension was warranted due to the potential risks posed by Conrady’s conduct.
As a result of this ruling, James Albert Conrady is now barred from practicing law in Oklahoma until further notice. The Court’s order reflects its commitment to safeguarding the interests of the public and maintaining the integrity of the legal profession.
The OBA will conduct an audit of Conrady’s activities, and further proceedings may follow based on the findings of that audit.
According to Avvo, Mr. Conrady is a consumer protection lawyer in Stillwater, OK. He acquired his law license in Oklahoma in 1976.
