In these hundreds of oil and gas transactions, Christian consistently delivers value for his clients by obtaining greater compensation and landowner-friendly contracts that protect his clients, their family, and their legacy.

Christian also fights for landowners who have been wronged by oil and gas companies. Christian handles a wide-array of oil and gas lawsuits, including oil and gas royalty disputes, trespass issues, nuisance claims, and ownership disputes/quiet title actions. Christian’s skills and experience litigating oil and gas lawsuits speak for themselves.
