At Meadows Law, we provide comprehensive legal services in real estate litigation and negotiations, with a focus on protecting property owners’ rights and maximizing their benefits. Our experienced team handles a wide range of complex matters, offering strategic solutions tailored to your unique needs.

Our Areas of Expertise

Eminent Domain

When your property is at risk of being taken by the government, we stand ready to protect your rights. Our attorneys specialize in eminent domain cases, ensuring that property owners are fairly compensated and that their voices are heard. Whether negotiating a settlement or pursuing litigation, we are your advocates every step of the way.

Department of Highways (DOH) Right-of-Way

Government highway projects often involve right-of-way disputes that can disrupt property ownership and use. Our team works to secure fair compensation and protect your rights in these complex cases. We help you navigate negotiations and, if necessary, represent you in court to achieve the best possible outcome.

Pipeline Right-of-Way

Pipeline construction can have significant implications for property owners, including safety, environmental, and financial concerns. We assist clients in negotiating right-of-way agreements that safeguard their property rights, ensure appropriate compensation, and address long-term impacts. If disputes arise, our litigation team is ready to represent your interests effectively. Legal work involves negotiating easements for oil and gas pipelines, often involving substantial payments due to the value of the land and project impact. West Virginia law governs the negotiation of easements for pipeline projects, requiring fair compensation for landowners and adherence to state regulations. Property owners have rights to negotiate terms, but pipeline companies often have significant leverage due to eminent domain statutes in certain circumstances.

Mineral Rights Transactions and Litigation

Our attorneys are well-versed in the intricacies of mineral rights, including oil and gas leases and transactions. We assist property owners in negotiating favorable lease terms, including royalties, lease durations, and environmental safeguards. When disputes occur—such as those involving royalty payments, lease violations, or environmental damages—we provide skilled representation to resolve them effectively. Whether you are entering a transaction or involved in litigation, we offer the expertise needed to protect your rights and financial interests. This involves negotiations for the sale or leasing of rights for oil, gas, or minerals, with large potential payouts for clients due to the value of the resources. Mineral rights in WV are governed by specific statutes that allow landowners to sell or lease their rights separately from the surface estate. These transactions require careful drafting to ensure compliance with state regulations on royalties and production.

Telecommunication Tower Lease Negotiation

Telecommunication towers can provide property owners with significant income, but these agreements require careful negotiation to avoid pitfalls. We assist clients in securing favorable terms, addressing key concerns like rental rates, lease renewals, and liability protections. Our goal is to ensure that your long-term interests are fully protected. We manage agreements for leasing land or rooftops for cell towers, providing long-term revenue streams for property owners. West Virginia laws on telecommunications leases include zoning regulations and property rights considerations. Lease agreements must comply with local zoning ordinances and ensure fair compensation for landowners while meeting industry standards for installation and maintenance.

Solar Panel Lease Negotiation

As the demand for renewable energy grows, solar panel leases present a lucrative opportunity for property owners; long-term leasing of land for solar farm installations, providing steady income for landowners and supporting renewable energy projects. Our attorneys help you navigate the complexities of these agreements, securing favorable terms that maximize your financial benefits while addressing land use, maintenance responsibilities, and liability concerns. West Virginia supports renewable energy development, including solar projects. Lease agreements must adhere to state regulations regarding land use and environmental impact, offering opportunities for landowners to generate income while promoting sustainable energy.
