Do You Ever Represent for Gas or Pipeline Companies?

Absolutely Not! The Clark Law Firm, PC and Attorney Doug Clark ONLY represents Landowners and individuals who own oil, gas and mineral rights in Pennsylvania. Doug has never and will never work of any gas or pipeline company and never will.

Attorney Doug Clark is extremely passionate about fighting for Pennsylvania Landowners and we are completely committed to leveling the playing field for Pennsylvania’s Landowners. We feel it would be disingenuous to represent Landowners while simultaneously representing gas or pipeline companies. Attorney Doug Clark is Pennsylvania’s Landowner Lawyer and works solely for you.

Do you have a positive working relationship with Gas and Pipeline Companies?

Yes. As Pennsylvania’s Landowner Lawyer, Doug has built a strong reputation for aggressive landowner advocacy while maintaining positive working relationships with gas and pipeline companies. Doug’s knowledge, experience and zealous representation has earned the respect of pipeline and natural gas companies and has resulted in positive lines of communication directly with major energy companies and natural gas developers.

Doug’s natural gas and pipeline company contacts serve as a valuable tool to help ensure that our clients receive the best possible Marcellus and Utica Shale Pipeline Agreements, Oil and Gas Leases and other natural gas contracts.

However, do not confuse a positive “working relationship” with anything more than a “work” relationship. Doug understands the value of mutual respect and a positive professional working relationship, but Doug aggressively represents each and every client to obtain the best possible Pipeline Agreement, Gas Lease, or other natural gas related contract. As our testimonials reflect, our clients are always first and building positive working relationships with gas and pipeline companies has proven to be a valuable tool in representing Landowners.

What Makes Attorney Doug Clark Different from other Oil and Gas Lawyers?

Almost everything! Remember, effectively representing pipeline and natural clients is not a part time job. We have not simply added an oil and gas section to our Clark Law Firm website in hopes of picking up business. Landowner representation in all oil and gas and related matters is what we do! Attorney Doug Clark is completely committed to providing the best possible Landowner oil and gas representation to each and every one of our clients.

When you hire Doug Clark, you are never just a name on a file, but a member of The Clark Law Firm family and you will always receive the personal attention your case deserves. Doug works tirelessly to keep his clients informed and educated and to make sure each client obtains the best possible result for their individual situation.

From a personal standpoint, Doug’s childhood and family background provides a unique understanding of the heartfelt value of each Landowner’s property. As the son of a western Pennsylvania farmer and retired steelworker, Doug truly respects and appreciates the love for a family’s property. Doug’s family’s small farm has been passed down from generation to generation and still serves as the backbone asset of his family. Doug grew up working with his grandfather on their farm and carries his appreciation for land into his representation of each individual client. Quite simply, Doug represents all clients as if he were negotiating an oil and gas Agreement for his own family’s farm.

Oil and Gas Attorney Fees?

However, under no circumstances will The Clark Law Firm, PC ever take a percentage of our client’s royalty rights as payment for gas lease negotiation representation.

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