Amy Mowry

Amy earned her J.D. from the University of Wyoming College of Law in December 2005 after teaching English language and literature for several years at home and abroad. Her practice centers around real property and natural resources, where she helps landowners and energy companies with title matters, transactions and development projects across the Rocky Mountain region. Amy is licensed in numerous Rocky Mountain states and is dedicated to providing responsive, high-quality, cost-effective and ethical guidance for her clients on all aspects of oil & gas, mineral and land title.

 

Before establishing Mowry Law, Amy practiced with several Denver law firms and developed special expertise in oil & gas and mineral title examination. Amy has prepared hundreds of title opinions covering oil & gas, mining, and both residential and commerical real estate. Her current practice focuses on oil & gas and mineral title and transactions, and she also routinely advises both natural resources companies and mineral rights owners on their rights and responsibilities. Amy has authored and presented numerous articles and papers on real property, mineral title and energy development issues.
