Description

Derek Cook, managing member of DDC Law PLLC, joins the show to share his path into oil & gas law and how he established his practice in Midland.


He tells the remarkable story of a drilling rig that went missing — a dispute that resulted in a $1.9 million verdict covered by local media — and walks through the courtroom strategy, challenges, and lessons learned from this significant case.


From carving out a niche in the Permian Basin to navigating the aftermath of major trials, Derek reflects on how these experiences have influenced the next chapter of his work, including a growing focus on family law and serving clients in new ways.
