Know of an attorney who specializes in mineral/gas leases?

Hello. I am in SW Pennsylvania. As the need for landowners to understand the jargon of their leases increases I have understood that there are more attorneys "around" that specialize in mineral/gas rights. Does anyone know where they are? Does anyone know how to find one? Would it be appropriate to ask for the name of one you have used that has been helpful?

In reply to my own post; I have found a couple of attorneys; still open to suggestions, but I think I am "good".

Good Luck CR.

With current very low prices for Natural Gas and NGLs, I suspect that the O&G Operators are not only looking at their maps and wells - but also looking at what riches they can find by interpreting/re-interpreting leases.

On the East coast, the jokes are about "Philadelphia Lawyers".

On the West coast, the jokes are about "San Francisco Lawyers".

Watch out, Chevron (formerly known as Standard Oil of California) are full of those "San Francisco Lawyers".

Let us know how things turn out.

I will; we have already had other issues with Chevron that never remotely came up with any other company we have dealt with. Thanks much. As a result of my question and being on this forum, I have learned some interesting things already. As time allows, I will check back regularly.
