*Many landowners that hired our attorneys have obtained up to 5 times more in compensation than they initially were offered for pipeline easements and right-of-way agreements. Results may vary depending upon the specific factual and legal circumstances of each client’s case
Big oil and gas companies are looking to lease your land and provide you with as minimal compensation as possible. When you enter negotiations by yourself, you will be fighting against a team of attorneys and land agents that work for the oil and gas company. Don’t go into negotiations alone. Team up with a successful and experienced law firm – Gold, Khourey and Turak. We have a dedicated team that handles only oil and gas issues for our clients.
More importantly – we have a home-field advantage.
We know the value of your land. We are local lawyers, we live here, we walk your streets and we drive down your local roads. A national law firm might look at a piece of paper and see just an acre of land – we see your home, your family and your legacy. We protect land and mineral owner property rights, and fight to obtain more compensation and better protection for you. Oil and gas companies should pay you top dollar for the right to be a part of your neighborhood.
The oil and gas industry has brought many opportunities to our area, but with opportunity comes risks and challenges for Moundsville residents and Marshall County landowners. When pipeline projects threaten your land, home, and way of life – we get involved. We are your neighbors and you can count on us to fight for your way of life as if it was ours – because it is. We live in this community too.
We shop at the same locations as you. Our children attend the same schools as your children. Donations made on our behalf to Ohio Valley charities help Ohio Valley families. We invest in the people, businesses, and the future of Moundsville. We support Moundsville – we also know Moundsville.
Individual landowners cannot effectively negotiate against land agents and big oil and gas companies. It takes a community. It takes many Monarchs coming together. We are a local law firm that works with you and your neighbors to build a better community. Land agents don’t have your best interests in mind – but WE DO. We care about Moundsville, Glen Dale, McMechen, Benwood roads, businesses, and residents.
The phones will ring, the mailers will come, and agents will start knocking at your door. Residents of Moundsville have or will be introduced to land agents looking to make new “friends.” Don’t be fooled. Your new friends are skilled at negotiating and their job is to convince you, landowners, to sign agreements that benefit the company. These rights-of-way offers might seem fair but they are not. Trust us, we have seen this many, many times before. The oil and gas companies are in business to make money off of you, GKT is in business to obtain the most compensation for you. If you have an agreement, don’t be fooled, contact our office today at (304) 845-9750. We offer a free consultation to discuss your situation. Need help? Get help. Get GKT.
Our attorneys represent you, the landowner. Having an attorney from our office review your offer is a smart decision. When an oil and gas land agent tells you that you are getting the same price as everyone else, that isn’t true! The landowner that worked with an attorney has the better offer with more protection and peace of mind. We know because our oil and gas specialists have obtained more money and better protection for thousands of Ohio Valley land and mineral owners that were told the same thing.
GKT specializes in oil and gas law – but we also specialize in communication. It is important that we talk with you to get the complete picture. Our conversations can uncover additional issues that you might not have considered. This could cost you thousands of dollars in compensation from the oil and gas company.
