Oil, Gas & Mineral Rights

Protecting What’s Under the Surface

Navigating mineral rights in New Mexico—especially in the Permian Basin—requires deep legal knowledge and a clear strategy. At the Bradley Law Office, we help individuals, families, and landowners protect their interests in oil, gas, and mineral assets with practical, informed legal support.

Whether you're negotiating a lease or resolving a title issue, we’re here to ensure your rights are protected and your assets are secure.

Do I Need a Lawyer to Review an Oil & Gas Lease?

Yes. Oil and gas leases are complex, and every clause—from royalty rates to shut-in provisions—can affect your long-term financial return. We help clients understand the fine print, negotiate fair terms, and avoid future disputes.

What Happens if Ownership of Mineral Rights is Unclear?

Unclear or "clouded" title is common in New Mexico. We assist in identifying rightful ownership, resolving title issues, and ensuring your ability to lease or sell your mineral interests confidently.
