What Our Clients Say

Convinced I had been misled when I sold some of my overriding royalty interests, I hired C&H to sue the company that persuaded me to sell. John and Dave took an aggressive approach to litigating the case from the very beginning. And although the trial court originally granted summary judgment for the buyer, C&H appealed and convinced the Tenth Circuit to reverse. After the trial court denied the defendants’ renewed request for summary judgment, C&H helped guide me to a successful resolution of the case. I am very happy with the results that John and Dave were able to provide.

C&H defended our company against claims in excess of $3 million. Facing two large law firms, C&H wielded a sophisticated and aggressive discovery strategy, and superior preparation, to our benefit. Shortly after deposing our opponent’s three main witnesses, C&H secured a quick and favorable settlement, delivering us from what could have been a very challenging case, all for exceptional value.

Our company faced an aggressive attempt to remove us as operator of oil-and-gas wells. C&H conceived and coordinated a successful defense before the state regulator, and fought off a motion for preliminary injunction with an aggressive discovery strategy. Minutes after C&H took a key deposition, the other side withdrew its PI motion. C&H has our trust because they were always responsive, produced excellent work product, and have protected our company.

After a private equity partnership fell apart, our company had to rectify legally questionable representations being made in the marketplace. C&H took our case and aggressively employed a series of litigation tactics. C&H was able to do that by learning the intricacies of the PE world, and consistently produced top-notch work product, which allowed our company to reach a successful resolution.
