Gas line Right of Way and Gas Leases are an important legal document for a property owner.  You get one chance to get it right and then its with you forever. Luckily, I was fortunate to have Doug Clark as my attorney. All my concerns and interests where addressed and my final agreement protected my family and our land much better than the initial agreement the gas company hoped I would sign.  You need an attorney that understands the specifics and can negotiate with the various gas companies to reach an equitable agreement that everyone can live with, not only today but in the future.

Thank you Doug.

As a landowner that learned as much as I could before retaining The Clark Law Firm, I then learned a lot more since retaining your legal counsel.  We value your experience and professionalism with regard to ignorant customers like myself.  We really had no idea what we did not know.

I highly recommend your services to anyone that's sure of all aspects of signing an Oil and Gas Lease.  The value of several tenets of several terms of our completed and executed Gas Lease far outweighs your cost for your services.  We expect, over the life of our royalty earnings to be paid back for your counsel investment over 100’s of times the cost.

THANK YOU, for your help in this very important matter!

We signed our gas lease years ago, before anyone had a clue that this whole thing was going to get as big as it has.  At the time, we talked to neighbors who were also being approached, but never dreamed we should actually get legal advice.  Needless to say, we signed for a very low amount, and had no idea what some of the terms in the lease even meant.  We first found out about Doug Clark and his firm from a gas drilling website, and found out he was holding a talk about pipelines, etc. in East Smithfield. We attended the talk and were very impressed with Doug's knowledge about the whole process.  Also, our heads were spinning with all the issues that need to be taken into consideration before signing any agreement.  We had already been approached by a land agent about a gathering pipeline on our property. 

We contacted Marceea and got the Clark Law Firm involved.  They immediately took over all negotiations with the land agent, submitted a detailed addendum to the original suggested agreement, and kept us informed about every step.  We had several conversations with Doug where he explained everything very clearly, and ended up with what we think is a contract in our best interests.  We will definitely seek Doug's advice in any future transactions regarding our lease and pipeline contract, and enthusiastically recommend him and his office to anyone who is contemplating signing any kind of gas-related contract.

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.
