My dad signed a very poor gas lease 5 years ago, which will be expiring soon. Unfortunately, the current lease has a clause indicating it will be automatically renewed in 60 days with similar terms. So one question is has anyone gotten out of this type of lease? If so how was this done?

He has contacted an attorney, Richard Milesky Jr. Mr. Mikesky will be reviewing the current lease for $400. He should be getting back to my dad soon. Depending upon his recommendation my dad is considering hiring him to re-negotiate the lease for 5% of the initial lease payment that Mr. Milesky negotiates (at least that is what my dad said). I would like any opinions on Richard Milesky Jr. and if this type of fee seems reasonable.

Thank you for your help.
