Bart Jay Robey, Chubbuck Duncan & Robey, P.C. 100 North Broadway, Suite 2300, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73102 405-236-8282 | 405-236-2828 (Fax) | bjrobey@chubbucklaw.com I am Bart Jay Robey, a co-founder of Chubbuck Ducan and Robey P.C. We are a litigation firm based in Oklahoma City specializing in the defense of product liability, bad faith, and property/casualty claims. I was born and raised in Oklahoma City, but attended college and law school in Washington D.C. Following graduation from the George Washington Law School in 2003, I returned to Oklahoma to start my practice. From the outset, I always wanted to be a litigator. There are certainly downsides: longer hours and more stress than most of your colleagues and friends. However, there are few other jobs where each day is filled with matters of consequence and true challenge. Performing the job at a high level requires you to summon each talent you may have. On my best days that involves tenacity, endurance, empathy, and, yes, a little bit of audacity. Since our Firm’s founding in 2012, we have been fortunate to work with a roster of international product manufacturers and insurers that are typically represented by much larger firms. As a young law firm, we have survived and thrived in the market as a result of responsiveness to clients’ needs and the development of business relationships based on trust and reliability. The challenges of running a law firm are diverse and, at times, unexpected. There is no “how-to” manual. However, the best part of my job is the challenge of maintaining the quality of our work product and positioning the firm for future growth. In an environment where pressure is pervasive, building a team which can take work seriously, but not one’s self, is critical. 81 MAR 2020 | WWW.LAWYER-MONTHLY.COM 1 https://www.iii.org/fact-statistic/facts-statistics-product-liability 2 https://www.hersheyinjurylaw.com/personal-injury/defective-products-theyre-more-common-than-you-might-think/
