Gold, Khourey & Turak has a long history of representing landowners throughout southeastern Ohio—including the Caldwell area. We’ve helped hundreds of clients recover millions of dollars in compensation. Our firm led the largest group lease deal in the Northern Panhandle—a staggering $100 million agreement. Choosing a local Ohio law firm with that kind of experience can help you negotiate smarter and potentially receive up to five times more in compensation.*
Gold, Khourey & Turak brings knowledge, experience, and results to the table. Our attorneys live and work in your region—we know the land, the law, and the challenges you face. We don’t just know oil and gas—we know you.
*Many landowners who chose our firm were able to secure up to five times more compensation than what was initially offered for pipeline easements and right-of-way agreements. Individual results will vary based on the facts and circumstances of each case.
Big oil and gas companies are eager to lease your land—and they aim to pay you as little as possible. When you face them alone, you’re up against a team of land agents and corporate attorneys working solely for the oil and gas company. Don’t step into negotiations without backup. Partner with a law firm that’s experienced, successful, and committed to landowners—partner with Gold, Khourey & Turak.
And here’s the difference—we have the local advantage.
We understand the true worth of your land because we live here, too. We’re local attorneys who know Noble County. We drive the same roads, pass the same farms, and appreciate the history behind every acre. A national firm might see nothing but a parcel on paper—but we see your home, your memories, and your family’s future. Our job is to protect your property rights and fight for the compensation and safeguards you deserve.
Oil and gas activity has created opportunities in our region—but it’s also brought serious concerns for Caldwell residents and Noble County landowners. When pipeline proposals threaten your property and your peace of mind, we step in. We’re not just lawyers—we’re your neighbors. And we’ll fight for your future like it’s our own—because we’re part of this community, too.
We shop where you shop. Our kids attend the same schools. We give back to Ohio families through donations and community involvement. We believe in the people and promise of Caldwell—and we understand the issues our neighbors face.
The truth is, individual landowners are often outmatched when negotiating with professional land agents. That’s where we come in. We work alongside you—and with your community—to build strength in numbers and protect what matters most. The land agents don’t represent your best interests. We do. We care about Caldwell’s roads, its people, and its future.
The calls will start, the mail will pile up, and soon enough, land agents will be knocking on your door. Many Caldwell residents already know—or will soon find out—that oil and gas land agents come looking to build quick “friendships.” Don’t be misled. These agents are trained negotiators, and their goal is to get you to sign an agreement that benefits the company—not you. Those right-of-way offers may look decent at first glance, but they often leave out critical protections and fair compensation. We’ve seen it happen time and time again.
Oil and gas companies are in business to profit from your land—GKT is in business to protect it. If you’ve received an offer or already signed something, don’t wait. Call our office at (740) 546-2106 for a free consultation. Let’s review your situation together.

At GKT, we advocate for you—the landowner. Having one of our attorneys review your documents is one of the smartest decisions you can make. If a land agent tells you “everyone’s getting the same deal,” that’s simply not true. The truth? Landowners who work with legal representation get stronger offers, better protection, and far more peace of mind.
We know this firsthand—because we’ve helped thousands of land and mineral owners across the Ohio Valley secure better compensation and stronger terms after hearing the same promises.
Our firm doesn’t just know oil and gas law—we know how to talk with our clients. Communication matters. When we take the time to sit down with you, we often uncover details or concerns that haven’t been considered—and that could mean thousands of dollars left on the table if not addressed properly.
