Estate of Holman, et al. v. Noble Energy, Inc.; Droegemueller v. Petroleum Development Corporation; Anderson v. Merit Energy Co.; and Holman v. Petro-Canada Resources (USA), Inc.
Lieff Cabraser and co-counsel represented owners of natural gas royalties in a number of lawsuits filed against gas producers and operators.

Since 2007, our clients have recovered more than $150 million.
