With a legacy of a passionate commitment to excellence and professionalism, Thomas Vogele & Associates, APC proudly announces that they have won the #1 Verdict in 2019 in California for Trespass, Property Rights, and Easement Abuse.

After a hard fought, three-week battle in court, TVA triumphantly witnessed a Fresno, California jury return a unanimous verdict. Defendants Shell Pipeline Company and Alon Bakersfield Property, Inc. were found to have operated oil and gas pipelines in violation of trespassing laws on TVA's clients' property. The defendants were found to have acted with malice, oppression, or fraud, and the jury awarded the property owners $40.6 million.

Arguing that Shell and Alon's pipelines were not disclosed or marked when the owners bought parcel, and that the pipeline operators decided not to record or disclose the easements for tactical reasons, the TVA team skillfully brought the case to a victory in their clients' favor. This triumph was the basis for the law firm's securing the #1 Verdict in 2019 in California for Trespass, Property Rights, and Easement Abuse. This verdict was obtained by the expert team comprised of Thomas A. Vogele, Timothy M. Kowal, Teddy T. Davis, Brendan M. Loper of Thomas Vogele & Associates, APC.
