A Message From Jay
“When you’ve been injured, you’re already at a disadvantage. The insurance company has lawyers, adjusters, and endless resources. My job is to level that playing field — to make sure you’re treated fairly, compensated fully, and never left to fight alone.”
At The Chaney Law Firm, your case isn’t just a file — it’s your future.
We move fast, fight hard, and stand with you every step of the way.
Oklahoma Injury Attorney Committed to Protecting the Working Class
Raised in Mustang, Oklahoma, Jay Chaney grew up in a family that taught him the value of hard work, perseverance, and integrity. Those lessons shaped every part of his life — from the soccer field to the courtroom.
Jay’s dedication, discipline, and strong work ethic have guided his journey from athlete to public servant to attorney, always with one goal in mind: helping Oklahomans when they need it most.
A Foundation Built on Hard Work and Leadership
After graduating from Mustang High School, Jay attended Southern Nazarene University, where he earned his Bachelor of Business Administration and captained the men’s soccer team for three years. His leadership and determination later opened the door to a professional soccer career, where he continued to build the traits of focus, teamwork, and accountability that now define his law practice.
When his time in athletics ended, Jay brought those same qualities home to serve his community in another way — as an employee of the Oklahoma City Police Department.
From First Responder to Advocate
Jay’s law enforcement career progressed quickly. He became the youngest 911 Supervisor in the department’s history, overseeing critical emergency operations and public safety communications. While he was passionate about serving the community, his lifelong goal of becoming an attorney never faded.
He enrolled in Oklahoma City University School of Law, working night shifts as a police dispatcher during his first year of studies. His dedication didn’t stop there — after his first year, Jay interned with the City Attorney’s Office in Enid, helping to modernize and revise city ordinances. Shortly after, he earned his Licensed Legal Intern status from the Oklahoma Supreme Court, allowing him to begin practicing law under supervision while completing his Juris Doctorate (J.D.).
Understanding Both Sides of the System
After earning his law degree in 2012, Jay worked for defense firms representing major insurance companies and employers throughout Oklahoma. This experience gave him insider knowledge of how insurance carriers and corporations build their cases — knowledge that now gives his clients a powerful advantage.
In 2017, Jay made a deliberate choice to return to his true calling: representing injured Oklahomans.
Today, he focuses exclusively on personal injury and workers’ compensation law, fighting for individuals and families whose lives have been disrupted by accidents, workplace injuries, and insurance disputes.
Fighting for Fairness — and Moving Your Case Forward
Jay’s philosophy is simple:
“We don’t let insurance companies control the timeline of your case. We control what we can — and we move fast.”
He and his team at The Chaney Law Firm take a proactive approach to every claim. They file quickly, push cases forward, and refuse to let insurers delay justice.
When a fair settlement benefits the client, Jay works to resolve it efficiently. But when the insurance company refuses to do what’s right, he doesn’t hesitate to take the case to trial — and he’s armed with years of defense-side insight to do it effectively.
Professional Memberships & Community Involvement
Jay is proud to serve his profession and his community through multiple organizations:
Member, Oklahoma Bar Association (since 2013)
Board Member, Friends of the Metropolitan Library System (Oklahoma City)
Board Member, Northwest Soccer Club
Volunteer Soccer Coach, Oklahoma City Crew and Crossings Christian School
Whether he’s coaching kids on the soccer field or advocating for injured workers in court, Jay remains committed to helping Oklahomans rebuild their lives after unexpected hardship.
