Virginia Moore's Lawyer Endorsements
"Virginia Moore is a highly qualified Oil & Gas attorney who is respected and recognized throughout this area. I am an attorney who served on a town council at a time when we were debating fracking issues. I took Oil & Gas in law school but needed to be updated on the legal side of the issues. Virginia Moore was more than willing to lend her expertise to me and tutored me in a non-biased manner. When we set up an Oil & Gas Advisory Committee, we took an unprecedented act and appointed her to the board as an Oil & Gas advisory position and made an exception to our policies as she practiced in our community but did not actually live here. The bottom line is that Virginia Moore is a top rated legal professional who is my 'go to' attorney when I need help with Oil & Gas legal issues in my own practice."
"Although I have not had the honor of working with Virginia, I have sought her advice and expertise, especially in the areas of oil and gas law. I know that her knowledge and understanding within the energy field is vast and that she constantly updates her education regarding the law, shales throughout Texas and the United States, and energy companies and their representatives. I know that when I talk to Virginia about the oil and gas field that I am in conversation with a true professional. I would definitely recommend Virginia to any of my clients because I know that she would take care of them as well as I would."
