The coal and gas practice group at The Creekmore Law Firm has experience handling coal, gas, and coal bed methane disputes. Since 1998, James Creekmore and The Creekmore Law Firm have represented one of Virginia’s largest coal operators in numerous proceedings in state and federal court, involving every manner of lease and property disputes imaginable for a coal operator. Our practice expanded over the last decade to represent large natural gas producers, including one of the largest producers of conventional and coalbed methane gas in Virginia, in a large number of suits in Virginia’s state and federal courts. We have represented producing companies and lessees as well as mineral rights owners, landowners and lessors.

Our firm has handled dozens of cases in state and federal court in southwest Virginia in disputes between coal and gas producers with their lessors, business partners, adjacent landowners and other third parties, including alleged breaches of lease obligations to mine coal and produce gas; alleged failures to honor royalty agreements; alleged failures to properly account for and pay royalties from coal and gas production; alleged acts of trespass, conversion, and unjust enrichment by virtue of other actions involving property; and alleged improper storage of water in vacant mine voids, among other actions.
