Woodrow “Woody” K. Glass

Norman, OK

I am one of the founding partners at Glass & Tabor. I have represented plaintiffs across the State of Oklahoma for the past 25 years and litigated cases for Oklahomans who have been victimized by medical negligence, employment discrimination, insurance bad faith, catastrophic personal injury, and wrongful death. I believe in an aggressive but professional and ethical approach to the practice of law and this has led to favorable recoveries for my clients. My partner, Stan Ward, and I obtained the largest employment discrimination verdict ($61 million) for an individual plaintiff in the Western District of Oklahoma in the case of Hackworth v. Progressive Insurance Company. I have also successfully prosecuted multimillion-dollar medical malpractice cases in Oklahoma. I know that some cases can only be resolved in the courtroom where a jury determines the outcome. However, most disputes are capable of resolution through a mediation or settlement conference. My courtroom success, approachable demeanor, zealous advocacy and negotiating skills have allowed my clients to maximize their recovery through negotiated settlements. Negotiating a favorable settlement requires a unique skillset and I embrace those challenges. I have successfully resolved numerous multimillion dollars negotiated settlements for my clients against physicians, hospitals, trucking companies, insurance companies and major retail chains.
