I was lead counsel for 25 mineral owners in a royalty underpayment case recently tried in Yuma County District Court in Wray, Colo., which culminated in an important decision by the Colorado Supreme Court clarifying the contractual obligations of natural gas producers to calculate and pay royalties to mineral interest owners in the State of Colorado. Rogers v. Westerman Farm Co., 29 P.3d 887 (Colo. 2001). I have also successfully represented thousands of other oil, gas, and coal royalty owners in Colorado and nationally, including the successful trial and appeal of a substantial punitive damage verdict against a major coal company. Reis v. Peabody Coal Company, 997 S.W.2d 49 (Mo. App. E.D. 1999).
