Makes perfect sense that the lawyers would get-in on the oil boom.

DJ, I usually would agree, but if the lawsuits are what I think they are (I haven't checked them yet) they are WELL DESERVED.

Quote from WallStreetJournal:
"Chesapeake deducted about 37% from Mrs. Moon’s most recent check for expenses such as the cost of shipping the gas to a big interstate pipeline and for processing the fuel. Those deductions cut her royalty payment for one well to $1,372 from $2,207. The well’s other owners, Anadarko and Mitsui, each deducted 18% from their share of the royalty payment, their checks to her show, while Statoil didn’t take any deductions or fees."
