Case History

Eileen McKenzie Fowler has found that, despite being a couple of hundred years after the fact, there are instances where the heirs of lands granted 200 years ago or more, are being paid royalty interests today from wells being drilled on their ancestors' land. Eileen Fowler possesses all of the resources to take whatever legal steps are necessary to promote the family's recovery efforts.

Her proven record in bringing justice to the underdog serves her well when meeting and organizing family groups of up to 100 individual members, as well as smaller groups. To date, she has successfully represented hundreds of South Texas families. She has a system of helping families unite and work together to keep the costs down for each family member. She has committed herself to helping as many South Texas families as possible, because she wants to see justice done.
