Attorney Steven Prejean

Our Lawyers help landowners to negotiate Oil and Gas Leases to obtain lease bonuses and royalties.  We have a combined 28 years of litigation and negotiation experience.  We know the law, lease contracts and have the skills to negotiate the deal.  Our Oil and Gas focus is the Haynesville Shale, since we have close ties to North and Central Louisiana.  The Hesser Family has lived in Desoto Parish since 1750. 

We have put together a Lease Negotiation Team that includes our attorneys, a geologist and oil & gas consultants.  Our team has many contacts with oil companies, investors and the community. 

The Haynesville Shale encompasses several parishes in North Louisiana and portions of East Texas.  Gas leases are being signed every day with multiple oil companies and wells are being drilled every day.  The Haynesville Shale gas find is being touted as the fourth largest gas find in the world.  Landowners will be able to receive substantial lease bonuses and substantial royalty fees.  Our firm has dedicated itself and its resources to representing landowners.  We do not represent the big oil companies. 

With three attorneys, one Of Counsel attorney and seven employees we not only have the knowledge, but the resources and the manpower to get the job done.  Our managing partner, David Hesser is trained in negotiations, is certified as a mediator, has law degrees from the University of Arkansas and Tulane University Law School and studied petroleum geology at Centenary College. Mr. Hesser has negotiated multimillion dollar settlements with oil companies and many cases including the division of a 10 million dollar construction company and the settlement of a construction dispute of a major international power plant. Our firm provides high quality ethical legal representation. David Hesser, is rated BV by Martindale.com and has been listed in AM Best Directory of Attorneys.

Our ethical rules do not allow us to promise results, but we do promise hard work, dedication and professional sound legal advice.  We offer a small percentage contingency relationship, so no fee is owed if you do not recover.

If you are a landowner who needs help negotiating with the big oil companies call now.  We have offices in Shreveport and Alexandria, Louisiana. We will strive to obtain the largest bonus and royalties.

Unless otherwise noted, lawyers are not certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
