Joseph Neal Briers

Joseph recently represented us with a gas pipeline issue with one of the large pipeline companies in our area. We found him to be extremely helpful in negotiating our pipeline easement problem. He was able to help us gain a very satisfactory settlement so we could move forward in building of our ho...me. He was able to help us understand a lot of the legal language as well as guide is in our decision making along the way. Through this whole process we felt we not only had an excellent attorney but also formed a life long friendship. We highly recommend Joseph for any kind of land issues you might incur.

Joseph was just what we were looking for in an attorney that specialized in negotiating the terms of a natural gas lease with a local producer. The lease the producer offered was typical in that it contained a lot of boilerplate language, filled with conflicting provisions. Joseph not only helped cle...an up the wording but helped negotiate far more favorable terms.

The complexities of a fast moving oil and gas development environment, coupled with three trusts and how they relate to a fourth made attention to detail vital. Mr. Briers was "spot on" with his review and assessment of a wide variety of situations as they unfolded over time. The confidence and secu...rity levels were and continue to be sound. He also was able to negotiate a complicated land acquisition for us. In the process, he kept everything clear, concise and to the point. We are proud to have him as a member of our ongoing team.

As the new Trustee of a family mineral trust, it became evident that I needed to hire an attorney to represent our interests. I had previously worked with Ernie Bruchez and Patricia Meronoff and I had high regard for both of them. I knew that I needed an oil & gas attorney that would be able to lit...igate our case if needed. Joseph Briers was excellent. When I came into his office, he had read everything I sent him and that was usually quite a lot! He understood my situation immediately and was able to outline my alternatives. He was available and responsive and made every effort to meet my schedules. As it happened, we filed suit against one of the largest oil companies in the world. I felt like David going up against Goliath. Thanks to Joseph, our family was able to negotiate a deal that was extremely favorable for us. I am very impressed by Joseph Briers's professionalism and the attention he gave our case which led to a successful outcome. He has excellent knowledge of the oil & gas industry. Joseph was willing and able to connect our family to other attorneys and engineers to insure that we had the expertise we needed. I could not be more pleased to recommend Joseph Briers to you!
