The phones will ring, the mailers will come, and agents will start knocking on your door. Residents of Fairmont are being approached—or soon will be—by land agents looking to make new “friends.” Don’t be fooled. These agents are professional negotiators, and their job is to get you to sign an agreement that benefits the oil and gas company—not you. These rights-of-way offers may seem fair, but they rarely are. Trust us—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. Already have an agreement in hand? Don’t sign anything yet. Call us today at (304) 845-9750 for a free consultation.

Our attorneys represent you—the landowner. Having an attorney review your offer is one of the smartest decisions you can make. When a land agent says, “this is what everyone else is getting,” don’t believe it. It’s not true. The landowners who work with an attorney almost always walk away with more compensation, stronger protections, and greater peace of mind. We know, because our team has helped thousands of landowners just like you—landowners who were told the same thing.
At GKT, we focus on oil and gas law—but we also specialize in communication. Having a real conversation with you helps us understand your full situation. In fact, those conversations often reveal issues you haven’t considered—issues that could cost you thousands of dollars if overlooked. Let’s talk before you sign anything.
