Choosing the Right Texas Oil and Gas Lawyer

Tuesday, September 28, 2010 by John D. Sloan

If you have legal issues with an oil or gas company, you need skilled advocacy from a highly qualified attorney. But how do you know what to look for in a Texas oil and gas lawyer?

When choosing a firm to represent you, make sure to select one that offers the following:

·         Oil and gas law experience. Oil and gas companies may pressure you to sign documents and consent forms, such as gas and oil leases, that you do not truly understand.  An experienced attorney, one familiar with the specifics of the law governing gas and oil, is essential to avoiding legal pitfalls and protecting your interests.  If negotiation does not lead to a fair settlement, you need skilled litigators to fight for your interests in court.

·         Staunch advocacy.  Oil and gas companies have extensive legal resources and a history of aggressively pursuing their own interests. You need strong and unwavering legal advocacy provided by attorneys who do not back down when faced with challenging situations such as:

o   Oil and gas acquisition

o   Title opinions 

o   Gas mis-measurement

o   Contract disputes

o   Leases and operating agreement conflicts

o   Environmental damage

o   Royalty disputes

·         A record of success.  Gas and oil attorneys with a history of success are always the best choice to represent your interests.  That success should be grounded in knowledge about the unique aspects of Texas oil and gas law, such as production of paying quantities and mineral lifting costs.  And, ideally, the attorney you choose has specific experience handling cases very similar to your own.
