Oil field workers, do you want a lawyer who know what a rotary table is? Our law firm has represented oil field workers in most phases of the drilling, production, and oil servicing industry. Whether you got hurt locking the dog, or were on controlled standby and subject to being called at times you were not paid because you had to deliver parts or make repairs to oil field equipment, we've been there. Don't be fooled by our competition that gets caught up in all the weird oil field lingo. You've worked hard, in a dangerous industry. Get compensated if the law was violated.
We have represented directional drillers, members of wireline crews, cement crews, gauge and meter repair people, parts people, unit secretaries back in the office, and the list goes on. We know what mud is, BOP, casements, MWDs, LWDs, rigs, company men, traditional drilling, DOT regulations, and the list goes on.
You work in wet messes worse than this, maybe with mud that is really drilling fluid, or in agriculture where there is lots of mud in the winter and it is hot during the summer. Your employer has mistreated you. You were wrongfully terminated, not paid right. We know how it is. No Up Front Fees or Costs for hard working employees.
