OIL & GAS LAW

As a landowner advocate, Knight Miller Law provides comprehensive legal representation in all aspects of oil and gas law. Issues involving mineral interests, lease agreements, easements, surface use, and royalty rights can be complex and high-stakes and we are committed to protecting our clients’ rights and interests at every stage.

With extensive experience advising and representing landowners and mineral rights holders in both transactional and litigation matters, we tailor representation to each client's particular needs and goals.

Oil & Gas Law includes:

Oil & Gas Leases

Interpreting oil and gas leases can be complex. We represent landowners and mineral owners in reviewing, drafting, and negotiating new or old oil and gas leases to protect interests now and in the future.

Mineral Ownership Disputes

Ohio's long history of mineral production often led past owners to reserve mineral interests, which leads to disputes now. We represent clients to protect their interests in these situations through negotiations and litigation.

Surface Use & Access Agreements

Whether it's surface use for a well pad or pipeline, we work to protect client's property now and in the future by negotiating surface use agreements and easements to meet each client's needs and goals.

Lease Forfeitures & Mineral Abandonments

We represent landowners to protect their interests when an oil and gas lease or mineral severance may no longer be viable.

Mineral Sales & Purchases

We negotiate mineral sales to get the best price for our client so they can invest in their future.

We strive to help each client meet their goals
for their property, family, and future.

Whether you are entering into a new lease, seeking to enforce or interpret an existing agreement, or involved in a dispute concerning production or royalties, Knight Miller Law is prepared to guide you through the process with clarity and precision. We strive to resolve conflicts efficiently, but when litigation becomes necessary, we are equipped to provide aggressive and effective advocacy in court.
