Former Congressman Ernest Istook, it was announced today, has joined the Foshee & Yaffe Law Firm in Oklahoma City in an "of counsel" capacity.
“Congressman Istook is a welcomed addition to our firm,” said Jerry Foshee. “Congressman Istook has been a friend for a long time and is an outstanding attorney.”
Blake Yaffe is enthusiastic about Ernest Istook being a part of their growing law firm. “Congressman Istook’s experience and knowledge are exceptional assets to our firm.”
Istook practiced law in Oklahoma for 15 years, handling a wide diversity of legal matters of all type. As required by general congressional ethics rules, he placed his law practice on hold during his years in Congress.
Istook was the Republican Party’s nominee for Governor of Oklahoma in 2006. He also served in the Oklahoma Legislature, on the Warr Acres City Council, headed a state agency, and served on the staff of former Oklahoma Governor David Boren.
As well as resuming the practice of law, Istook has resumed his former career as a radio broadcaster and has become a Distinguished Fellow at The Heritage Foundation in Washington.
