Expert Guidance Through a Complex Mineral Rights Dispute

Our family faced a daunting challenge when a major energy company challenged our long-held mineral rights. David Elder’s deep, 12-year focus on Oklahoma oil and gas law was immediately apparent. He meticulously explained the nuances of the title history and state regulations, translating complex legal jargon into clear action. His recognition in the field, including the 2022 Lawyer of the Year award, gave us immense confidence. David and the team at Hartzog Conger Cason were not just professional; they were strategic partners who fought tenaciously. The result was a settlement that fully protected our family’s interests. We cannot recommend his expertise highly enough.
