Profile

Real Estate and Environmental Representation

An experienced condemnation lawyer, having tried thousands of condemnation cases in both State and Federal Courts for over 35 years, Hal Cameron’s experience as an owner of an oil and gas production company, a real estate and leasehold owner, tree farmer, bank owner, and real estate investor have aided him in protecting his clients and the public from overreaching condemnation.

Hal Cameron’s most recent condemnation verdicts and awards include a recovery of 20 times an offer for a pipeline easement and the recovery of 30 times an offer in a power line easement case.

While the foregoing cases are indicative of his successful efforts to protect his clients from the uneven bargaining position enjoyed by those with the power of eminent domain, these are by no means the extent of his representation in condemnation cases.  During the past 10 years, he has handled to conclusion many cases in Federal courts that involve interstate oil and gas pipelines and their adverse effect on individual and company lands in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana.
