Our Attorneys
Buffie Campbell
A graduate of Texas Wesleyan University School of Law, Buffie Campbell began her foray into the energy forum as a landman researching title and performing curative work. She worked side by side with other landmen in order to better acclimate herself to the terminology, procedure and general knowledge of the oil and gas industry. She is highly experienced in understanding and researching title chains throughout Texas and has performed title research in Tarrant, Dallas, Nacogdoches, Gregg & Upshur counties.
With this extensive background and first-hand familiarity with title issues, Buffie brings additional expertise and insight to Campbell & Castillo’s strong title team. “The leaders of oil and gas companies have an entrepreneurial spirit that is very refreshing,” She says. “It quickly became a passion of mine.”
Buffie is a member of the Tarrant County Bar Association, the Tarrant County Energy Law Section and the Denton County Bar Association. She regularly volunteers as a mediator with the Denton County Alternative Dispute Resolution Program.
