Oil and Gas Attorney Fees?

We structure our oil and gas leasing legal fees in an affordable and friendly manner to the Marcellus Shale client.

Because we recognize that few, if any, Marcellus Shale landowners have money set aside for oil and gas lawyer fees, we offer fee agreement options for our clients.

Our fees are based on a scale depending on acreage and land usage.  All clients pay a minimal upfront retainer fee that is ultimately subtracted from the final flat fee.  The final payment is only due and owed to TCLF ONLY if the client executes the negotiated gas lease and ONLY after the client receives payment of the upfront bonus check from the gas company.”  This arrangement has worked extremely well for clients in all financial circumstances.

Upon contacting our office we can discuss fee agreement options and what may work best for your individual situation.

However, under no circumstances will we ever take a percentage of our client’s royalty rights as payment.

We understand that it is your property involved and disagree with the idea that your lawyer should share in any future royalties.

We structure our oil and gas leasing fees to help and protect the landowner, not exploit them.


PA Gas Leasing Poll

As a landowner do you favor a "Severence Tax" based on production volume or an "Impact Fee" based on the number of wells drilled?
Whether and how Pennsylvania should tax the natural gas industry remains a hotly debated issue:
Severance Tax - with revenue shared with the entire state. (11 votes)
Severance Tax - with the majority or all revenue directed to counties impacted by drilling. (22 votes)
Impact Fee - with revenue shared with the entire state. (0 votes)
Impact Fee - with the majority or all revenue directed to counties impacted by drilling. (12 votes)
I favor no severance tax or impact fee. (10 votes)
