Chloe N. Glass

Norman, OK

I am a trial lawyer focusing on personal injury, medical malpractice, Civil Rights, and wrongful death litigation. My journey with Glass & Tabor began long before law school. I was only ten years old when I started scanning the old school paper files into the firm’s computer system. Over the next nearly twenty years, I worked in every role I could: Runner, Receptionist, Intake Specialist, and Intern. Growing up in this firm gave me a front-row seat to watch my dad practice law, and it is a privilege now to write this bio as an attorney here. I was born and raised in Norman, Oklahoma, before moving to Fort Worth, Texas to attend Texas Christian University, where I earned my Bachelor’s in International Supply Chain Management in 2019. I spent nearly seven years in Fort Worth pursuing my education and career before returning home to Oklahoma to attend law school. In 2025, I graduated with my Juris Doctor from Oklahoma City University School of Law. Closing this chapter of my education and beginning my career as an attorney in my home state is something I have long dreamed of. I have always felt a calling to help others, especially in moments when life feels overwhelming. That sense of purpose drives me as an attorney, and I am proud to stand with our firm in fiercely advocating for the best outcomes for our clients. Outside of work, I love a good reality TV binge, true crime podcasts, and cheering on OU Football. I live in Moore with Drew, and nothing brings me more joy than creating memories with our kids. I also serve in several community roles, including as Advisory Board Chairman for Kappa Alpha Theta at the University of Oklahoma and as a board member for Fostering Futures, where we help support children and families served by the Cleveland County Welfare System. Additionally, I am a member of the Oklahoma City Downtown Club.
