Posted by anonymous | March 20, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Oil & Gas

Call him! You will not be disappointed!

From the jump, a step above the rest. He has helped not only for my household, but a few families I know. From oil and gas, to wills to business filings, he’s always a question away. He’s thorough and professional and I would recommend him to anyone!!

The ultimate oil and gas attorney!

Mr. Davis was extremely calm, and he spoke slowly enough over the telephone so that I could understand exactly what he was saying. He used legal terminology to a minimum, and explained all the dynamics in plain language. If there was anything that I didn't understand, Mr. Davis allowed me to talk ...about it with him until I did understand. Every time he thought of something that I might need to know, he would get back in contact with me either by telephone or by text, and he would give me the new information. Mr. Davis also puts the client at ease, because he knows that legal issues cause nerves. His manner of speaking is very relaxing, and it takes the nerves away. I would highly recommend Mr. Davis in anything related to oil and gas law. My oil and gas problem was the following: I was unaware of what the status was of particular units in a particular Texas County, that I had inherited from my mother. Mr. Davis taught me the basic literacy of how to navigate the tools of the county tax assessor collector, so that I could find the units in question, and enquire about them on the telephone with the county. He also taught me the quirks and idiosyncrasies of how things work in a county tax office, so that I would know the flowchart, the personality types, and who is who, and how to get things done. Thank you, Mr. Davis, for your time, your courtesy, your professionalism, and yeoman service.

Breath of Fresh Air in Panola County

This attorney is above all others in East Texas. He knows the oil and gas industry and highly skilled in mineral interests. He works hard for his clients and leaves no stone unturned! I am in awe of his intelligence and ability to communicate. In my case, he found the "needle in the haystack" wh...ich changed the entire direction of the case!! Simply because he continued to look and research where others would have stopped resulted in a success for us. He is a breath of fresh air to the legal profession. I HIGHLY recommend this attorney!!!!

Best Oil & Gas Attorney Around

Charles recently secured clauses in a lease for me that I didn't expect nor think was possible. Its a rare thing to find an Attorney in East Texas thats not affiliated with any Oil & Gas company and knows his contractual law in the oil patch inside and out. Best Oil & Gas Attorney in Deep East Texa...s, par excellence.
