Improper production deductions

I have a contract that explicitly states that there are to be no production costs applied to my royalty check except where there are taxes due on the royalty monies.  I my discussion with the company they reply with a completely incoherent statement that makes absolutely no sense.  Has anyone been successful in dealing with this issue and can provide me some direction.  Thanks for any information.

Most doctors aren't heart surgeons.

Most lawyers aren't anywhere near competent to be practicing oil and gas.

It's a specialty that few are good at and most lawyers without this experience should avoid deceiving potential clients and charging them for what amount to BS sessions.

OMG you are so spot on!!  I'm not an O&G expert.  I know less than a number of other posters here who, like myself, are not lawyers.  However:

One lawyer I visited pumped me like crazy for O&G information.  Then he thanked me at the end of our meeting.  Obviously I did not hire the guy.  But he had advertised, portraying himself an O&G expert!!  Some of these lawyers are no more honest than Chesapeake!!  Any landowner who visits one of these fake O&G lawyers, while knowing nothing at all about O&G, is in real trouble.

Read the story and you will understand how Chesapeake/Total are playing the royalty game.

I heard from a lawyer at a royalty owners' meeting that if you cash your royalty check that you are relinquishing your rights to dispute the payment amount, and are effectively saying that you approve of the way the amount was calculated.  So the lawyer was saying not to cash the check until all the deductions and other calculations have been scrutinized to make sure they coincide with one's lease.  Does this make sense?  I agree that the calculations should be checked out, but does cashing the check really affect the ability to correct errors and potentially receive an adjusted amount later?

I understand it like your lawyer said. Once you deposit or cash the check (you accept it) then you can't say you disagree with it after that. Not a lawyer but that is what I have read several times.
