Trial Lawyer for Oil & Gas, Financial, and High-Stakes Business DisputesKenneth E. Shore is Board Certified Oil, Gas & Mineral Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a Texas CPA, and a trial lawyer who brings rare real-world experience to the courtroom.
Today, Kenneth represents clients in oil and gas litigation, oilfield personal injury, energy-related intellectual property disputes, financial fraud and accounting malpractice, and complex real estate litigation. His clients benefit from more than legal theory—they get an advocate who understands how deals fail, how operations break down, and how to prove it to a jury.
Your Advocate in Oil & Gas Litigation Across Texas
Oil and gas disputes in Texas demand more than legal knowledge—they demand real industry experience. At The Shore Firm, we bring a rare combination to the table: decades of hands-on operational involvement in the oil and gas business and seasoned courtroom advocacy. We represent landowners, mineral owners, operators, and oil and gas companies with a practical, results-driven approach grounded in how the industry actually works.
Our oil and gas practice is led by an attorney who has owned and operated producing oil and gas assets, negotiated leases, managed wells, dealt with regulators, and made real-world operational decisions under economic and regulatory pressure. That experience fundamentally shapes how we litigate. We don’t just interpret contracts—we understand why they were drafted, how they are applied in the field, and where disputes most often arise.
Why The Shore Firm Is Different
Most oil and gas lawyers have only advised operators and mineral owners. The Shore Firm is different. Our practice is built on firsthand experience owning and operating oil and gas assets—not just reviewing them on paper. We understand how leases are negotiated, how wells are actually operated, how regulators interact with operators, and how economic realities drive decisions in the field.
That real-world experience gives our clients a decisive advantage. We anticipate issues before they become disputes, focus litigation on facts that truly matter, and present cases in a way judges and juries can understand. When your lawyer knows both the business of oil and gas and the law governing it, the strategy is sharper, the negotiation stronger, and the outcome more effective.
