Invaluable counsel on a complex property and contract dispute

Our company faced a significant property and contracting dispute with a neighboring landowner that involved complex servitude issues. Mr. Horton’s deep, 25-year experience in business litigation, particularly with property and oil and gas matters, was immediately apparent. He navigated the intricate Louisiana law with precision, clearly explaining our position and the strategic options. His recognition in commercial litigation and energy law is well-deserved. Mr. Horton was not only a formidable legal strategist but also a steady, professional guide through a stressful process. We achieved a highly favorable settlement, protecting our assets and operations entirely. I recommend him without reservation.
