Protecting the Rights of Property Owners
When a landowner leases property to an oil or gas company, it is the responsibility of that oil company to maintain the land and return it to the owner in a certain condition at the end of the lease. When a company fails to do so, an experienced oil and gas law attorney can stand up against these big businesses.

At the law firm of Veron, Bice, Palermo & Wilson, we provide justice for landowners when an oil or gas company contaminates land or drills in such a way as to make the land dangerous or unusable in future drilling operations. We have established a reputation as one of the leading Louisiana law firms in the field of environmental litigation and land contamination. We have access to knowledgeable, trusted experts who are vital in helping to explain the complexities of drilling operations to judges and juries.
Land Contamination and Downhole Drilling
As experienced Louisiana oil and gas law attorneys, we help people obtain compensation from oil companies in cases involving:
- Land contamination: If a drilling company causes any kind of spill, or fails to clean up land after completing operations, the company can be liable for the damage caused. We have achieved many favorable results in these cases against large oil companies.
- Downhole drilling: When a company performs drilling operations, it must do so in a way the does not make future operations too dangerous. When a company fails to follow the proper procedures and the drilled area becomes unusable, the value of the land plummets. We work hard to recover compensation for landowners for this type of carelessness by oil companies.
If you own land around Lake Charles, Jefferson Parish or anywhere in Louisiana, you can count on us to pursue justice if your land is damaged by a drilling operation.
