About Timothy "Luke" Abel

T. Luke Abel, owner of Abel Law Firm, joined the firm founded by his father, Ed Abel, in 2006 after earning his Juris Doctor degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Law. He dedicates his practice to guiding injured Oklahomans through complex personal injury claims with compassion and unwavering advocacy. Renowned for his tenacious trial skills and strategic problem-solving—qualities refined under the mentorship of his father and through decades of courtroom victories—he strives to achieve justice for each client.

Landmark Appellate Victories & Trial Results

Luke’s practice is defined by a commitment to holding powerful interests accountable, often resulting in precedent-setting victories in the Oklahoma Supreme Court. His notable cases include:

  • Beason v. IE Miller Services, Inc. (2019 OK 28): In a pivotal case involving an oil and gas field accident, Luke secured a $15,000,000 jury verdict. On appeal, the Oklahoma Supreme Court held that statutory caps on noneconomic damages were unconstitutional, successfully reinstating the full judgment for his client.
  • Strickland v. Stephens Production Co., et al. (2018 OK 6): Representing the estate in a wrongful death action, Luke successfully challenged the constitutionality of laws granting immunity to oil and gas well operators. The Oklahoma Supreme Court upheld the lower court's denial of the Motion to Dismiss, protecting the rights of workers' families to seek justice.
  • Freeman v. Robbins Motorsports: In a complex wrongful death litigation (McCurtain County Case No. CJ-2007-464), Luke secured a $5,200,000 jury verdict for his clients, demonstrating his ability to navigate high-stakes trials across the state.

Recognized by his peers and the legal community for his excellence in plaintiff advocacy, Luke has earned numerous prestigious accolades:

  • Martindale-Hubbell: AV Preeminent® Peer Review Rating (The highest level of professional excellence).
  • The Best Lawyers in America®: Named "Lawyer of the Year" for Plaintiffs Product Liability Litigation (2023, 2025).

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions
