This discussion relates to clarifying standing leases, royalty payments and Owner rights

My family has about 150+ acres in Louisiana. Excavation has been ongoing for the last 20+ years with several different operators; the latest is Adamas Energy. Many of the original family members involved in the leases are decease. We suspect royalties are not being paid accurately; the leases may even have expired. Also, some lease names were not vetted and shouldn’t be there. It’s a mess. County municipalities say many of the filed documents were not legal and have no warrant. Where should we look for legal representation to start fixing this?
