Mr. Butterfield handled our complex energy lease negotiation efficiently, leveraging his recognized expertise in the field. His knowledge of Oklahoma energy law was evident, and he provided sound legal counsel throughout. However, we found his responsiveness to be inconsistent—sometimes quick, other times slow. While his fees were reasonable, I wish the billing process had been clearer upfront. The final outcome was favorable, but I expected more frequent updates. Overall, a competent attorney whose communication could improve. Appreciate his decades of experience, but hope future clients receive timely attention.

Attorney Steve Butterfield of Pray Walker PC demonstrated sound expertise in energy law, evident in his recognition by Best Lawyers since 2023. His handling of my mineral rights dispute was thorough and well-researched, leveraging his decades of experience from the University of Oklahoma. However, communication lagged at times, with longer-than-expected wait periods between updates. While the final resolution was favorable, clearer expectations on timelines would've improved the experience. His deep knowledge of energy contracts was apparent, though some delays in responses made the process feel less client-focused. Overall, competent but room for better responsiveness.
