About Mr. Tai J
Mr. Tai J Vokins studied political science at the University of Kansas, earning a Bachelor of Science before turning to law. He completed his legal education at Washburn University School of Law. Those formative years combined a grounding in governmental systems with professional legal training.
His first notable public-service role came in 2008 when he served as an Assistant Attorney General in the Kansas Attorney General’s Office. In that capacity he worked on behalf of the state, gaining courtroom experience and exposure to regulatory and administrative matters. The post put him inside the machinery of state government and into regular contact with elected officials, agency staff and outside counsel.
In 2011 he took a different path and became a partner at Vokins Law Office, LLC. That move marked a shift from a government role to private practice and client representation. As a partner he handled litigation and advisory work, representing individuals and organizations in a range of matters while managing the business side of a small firm.
He expanded his practice relationships in 2018 by serving as of counsel to Sloan, Eisenbarth, Glassman, McEntire & Jarboe, L.L.C. That arrangement allowed him to collaborate on cases alongside attorneys from a larger firm while maintaining his own practice. The of counsel role typically involves providing subject-matter expertise on particular matters, consulting on litigation strategy and assisting with complex filings.
Vokins’s professional arc reflects time in both the public and private sectors. He has experience inside a state legal office and outside it in private practice. The sequence of roles—Assistant Attorney General, law firm partner, then of counsel—suggests a lawyer comfortable moving between government work and client-driven litigation.
Colleagues describe him as practical and steady in the courtroom and at the negotiating table. He is known for an analytical approach to cases and for presenting arguments clearly to judges and opposing counsel. He also handles the administrative tasks that come with running a private practice, including client intake and case management.
Mr. Tai J Vokins is licensed to practice in Kansas and continues to maintain a practice in the state. He currently practices at Vokins Law Office, LLC, handling a mix of public-sector and private-sector legal matters.
