Her practice focuses on transactional law with specialties in real estate law, mergers and acquisitions, law related to business organizations, and estate planning. She has a wide range of experience in all phases of real estate development including acquisitions, financing, sales, leasing and management of real estate projects. She has been involved in complex public-private development projects including Bricktown.
Hasenfratz is a member of the Oklahoma Bar Association, American Bar Association and Commercial Real Estate Women. She has lectured for continuing legal education in matters of estate planning and real estate. She is admitted to practice in Oklahoma, U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma and the U.S. Tax Court.
She currently serves on the board of Oklahoma City Beautiful and is a former board member of Ballet Oklahoma, Cimarron Alliance Foundation and AIDS Support Program Inc.
