How Do You Know If You Have An Case?
Many people aren’t sure whether what happened to them qualifies as a legal case. You don’t need to have everything figured out — most clients come to us simply because something went wrong and they want clarity. In general, you may have a case if the following apply.
-
Someone is using your land or minerals without proper rights
-
You're facing a dispute over boundaries, ownership, or access
-
A company is pressuring you to sign something
-
Your land has been damaged, or your use has been restricted
When in Doubt, Ask.
Most people don’t realize they have a case until they talk with a lawyer. A quick free assessment can help you understand your rights, as well as what evidence matters.
1
What is My Property or Oil & Gas Claim Worth?
Property and oil & gas cases aren't measured by formulas or quick estimates. The value of your case depends on rights involved, resources on your land, long-term impact on your property, financial loses, and leverage you have in negotiations. At Thiele Law, we look beyond the immediate issue and evaluate how the situation affects your land, your income, and your future.
What We Look At When Evaluating Your Case-We consider the full picture, including:
-
The value of your mineral rights
-
The terms of any existing leases
-
Whether royalties were underpaid or withheld
-
Surface damage and restoration costs
-
Long‑term impact on property value
-
Whether the company acted improperly or in bad faith
Once we understand the full picture, we can determine the strength of your claim and what compensation you may be entitled to pursue.
