I need an attorney

Can you recommend an attorney for me? I have property in Marshall County, WV but I don't live there. I have mineral and surface rights. I have a new ROW contract that I need reviewed. I also have a drill pad with one well that was shut down 1 year ago. I am new to all of this. I don't like the fact that Williams Co wants a perpetual lease on this next line. Help please.

I recommend Kyle Nuttall on this site, who is an attorney living in Buckhannon WV.  Just do a search for his name.

S.

     Below is a response I gave a while back to someone who asked the same question in WV.  A pipeline ROW contract must be very specific or you could end up handing over your future ROWs to the company that fishes you in with a bad contract. Use a lawyer or know the pitfalls and write a detailed contract. I called David and he advised me who to contact in Ohio since he does not work outside of WV.

 

A lawyer in WV, David B. McMahon, wrote the following that you can find on the internet:

I do not know of any attorneys in WV abut there is a listing on a web site named Martindale Hubbell which grades attorneys. You have a good chance of getting a fine attorney if he has a grade of A. But I also add that there are many very good attorneys who have a B grade. But that is as low as I would go.

Good Luck

Craig Sweeney at Yoss Law in Woodsfield, Ohio - not sure if he is licensed in WV but just across the river.

Thank you! I have used everyone's information and it has been very helpful. Now just to narrow it down! Thanks again!

Hey, FWIW - I signed yesterday with Paloma and the landman told me I picked the BEST attorney.  He said Craig Sweeney actually knows what he is doing in this business, unlike most of the attorneys who decide to "jump in" and try.
