Look elsewhere for a natural gas attorney

Mr. Clark has initially hired to negotiate and develop a gas lease for property owned in Pennsylvania. As time progresses all contact was at my initiation. He failed to ask what we were concerned about on the property, what long term goals we had nor did he offer suggestions as to what we should be... concerned about. He did offer a legal document which was a page taken directly from a natural gas company document list.

oil and gas lease consultation

Doug reviewed gas contracts already signed. I find the younger generation to be more direct and to the point. But like anything it cost money. My experience is quit extensive over 30 years with lawyers. I find his fees reasonable in today market and he does not over value himself. He is willing to k...eep learning about the business.

Super fast and knowledgeable on oil and gas

My father and I met Doug at a local presentation where he was discussing oil and gas leasing and Right of Ways and were immediately impressed. Once the $/ft and location were agreed upon, we contacted him for assistance with the rest. Doug and associates hit the ground running with our Natural gas... pipeline Right of Way agreement. The pipeline company was close to going in a different direction due to time constraints and us having dragged our feet up to that point. Doug recognized this and seemingly dropped everything else to focus on our agreement. We have experience reading legalese and knew the one-sided areas of the agreement that needed work, but Doug addressed all of them (and more!) before we even gave him our list or concerns. He obviously has much experience with oil/gas leases, RoWs and the like. We got almost everything we asked for and signed an excellent agreement. We retained him right before Christmas and signed the agreement on 1/13! Do other lawyers even work through the holidays? Thanks Doug.

Landowner

The Clark Law Firm Doug and Marcee were a pleasure to work with. Being new to signing a gas lease, we hired The Clark Law Firm. What a good move that was. They answered all of our questions. They prepared our gas lease and followed through to our benefit. We knew what was transpiring each step o...f the way. We were very impressed with there knowledge of gas leasing. They always made themselves available to us and promptly returned our phone calls. They are a top law firm and we highly recommend them.
