Landowners Owe it to Themselves to Call Doug Before Signing Gas Lease or Anything Related

When I signed my initial gas lease in 2006, I was totally unaware and was ignorant of what was all involved. I signed with the belief that the landman was being honest and upfront with the terms and explanations of the lease and that I could trust that he was looking out for my best interests. I could have never been so wrong! As I later found out, many things were incorrectly explained and represented regarding my gas lease. It was at that point I decided that if I ever was presented with any gas lease renewal or anything natural gas related, I would seek out legal help before signing anything. In May of this year, my opportunity came. A company that was working with the company I originally signed with offered a top lease. At first I decided to talk with the landman myself as I had educated myself alot through internet webinars and various websites about things I should ask for. After about one week of trying to negotiate with the landman and basically being fed a bunch of bologna, I decided that I needed to find an HONEST, REPUTABLE, and EXPERIENCED gas lease attorney. I spent several hours online and on the phone searching for someone that I was comfortable with representing me. I wasn't comfortable with the first two attorneys that I spoke with. One charged on a royalty percentage basis, and the other made me feel like I was wasting his time. Luckily, Attorney Doug Clark was the third attorney that I called. I spoke with Marceea and she was very friendly, knowledgeable, and gave me all the time that I needed to answer any and all questions that I had. I knew from that conversation that I had found the right attorney for the job! My first conversation with Doug lasted well over an hour and he explained many of the terms of the gas lease and addendum as well as answered all of my questions. He was very concerned with what I wanted from the lease and what protections I hoped for in regards to my property. If any question or concern arose after that, I simply either emailed or called Doug and it was addressed very quickly. I can sincerely say that I am VERY pleased with The Clark Law Firm! I am confident that I made the right choice in selecting Doug to handle my gas lease negotiations. I have already recommend him to all of my friends and neighbors, at least two of which I believe are also going to be clients of Doug. I feel that anyone that has a gas lease or anything related owes it to themselves to call and speak with Doug before signing anything.

Doug is personal and professional – “Completely Satisfied in Every Way”

I was dissatisfied with several attorneys I interviewed but after talking to Attorney Douglas Clark I knew I had found the right one and felt a huge burden had been lifted from my shoulders. This was the beginning of an extended relationship and I was completely satisfied in every way. Mr. Clark was very easy to talk to, he listened to all my concerns, communicated with me in a personal and professional manner, responded promptly to emails and phone calls and he included me in every step of the process. He offered excellent advice and also maintained good working relationships with the management of numerous gas companies. I have recommended him to others and they have also been pleased with their experience. I am thankful that I found Douglas Clark, Esq. who is a competent, knowledgeable attorney and I am confident that others would feel as I do.

Choosing TCLF one of Landowner’s “Best Decisions”

Several months ago an oil and gas company approached me with an offer to renew my lease with the same company I originally signed with. Although we had a pretty good lease as a starting point I wanted to be sure all of my bases where covered and I needed good legal advice. After a few weeks of online research and some phone calls, I chose The Clark Law Firm to represent me, and it was one of the best decisions I have made regarding oil and gas leasing. Doug took our starting point lease, and negotiated in key items and terms to give me all the rights needed to protect our family and our property. He handled everything promptly and professionally and kept me apprised of any conflicts and concerns throughout the process. I highly recommend Doug and his firm for any legal work and I will be using his firm as needed for any future dealings. Thanks Doug, and everyone at The Clark Law Firm.

TCLF’s Invaluable Knowledge in Gas and Pipeline Issues

Hi Doug, Marceea, & Vanessa, Thank you for the professional and personal attention you exhibited in handling the negotiation of the new gas lease on our property. We couldn't be more pleased, not just with the $$$ (though that is a BIG happy), but also in dealing with each of you.We called early last year for a consultation when we received notification of potential sub-leasing of our gas lease. You provided us with a fair evaluation of our existing lease and possible expectations. When, a few months later, we found ourselves in the enviable position of an expired lease and two gas companies showing interest there was no hesitation to employ your firm for the negotiations. During the process, everything was handled in a timely manner (despite this all happening over the two biggest holidays of the year). All calls and emails were answered promptly and we knew at all times the status of the negotiations. Due to your expertise, we are sure we got the best deal both monetarily and lease-wise. Your firm's knowledge of the gas and pipeline situation is invaluable. We absolutely recommend The Clark Law Firm to anyone expressing a need in gas or pipeline lease assistance.

TCLF – “You Are The Best”

I am a widow and was contacted by several landmen who were working for different companies leasing land in my area in Wayne County. I was overwhelmed and felt very uncomfortable with all the contact from the landmen and the difficult to understand leasing contracts. Thankfully I found Doug Clark to assist me in leasing my land. Doug explained the lease contract and addendums so that I could understand them. Doug made me feel very comfortable to know that I had someone on my side. He took over the negotiations and was able to get me an excellent lease that I was very comfortable signing. Thank you again Doug and Marceea for all your hard work, help and hand holding during the leasing process. You are the best.

Wholeheartedly Recommends Friendly, Professional and Knowledgeable TCLF

My wife and I would like to express our sincere appreciation to the entire staff of The Clark Law Firm for their work in negotiating a gas lease Cabot Oil & Gas on our behalf. They were able to get us a lease with all the limitations and protections that we wanted. I know we would never have done as well trying to accomplish this complex and very, very important process on our own. Having one place to handle the negotiations and the related paperwork was a great benefit to us. Everyone involved was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. Something as important and valuable as a gas lease needs to be handled professionally, and we would whole heartedly recommend The Clark Law Firm.
