Attorney Profile

Jay Wilkinson has over thirty years of experience in property title matters.  His career began in the commercial real estate development arena in which he led a publicly held commercial real estate firm that focused on the adaptive re-use of historic properties.  He got his start in the law as a second career at the Dickinson School of Law where he earned his J.D. degree and clerked for the Honorable Judge Kevin A. Hess, President Judge of the Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas.  As an Oil and Gas lawyer he has assisted some of the top Texas based firms in expanding to meet the needs of their producer clients working in the Marcellus and Utica plays.  He is licensed to practice law in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of Ohio.
In 2012, Attorney Wilkinson co-authored the first edition of Pennsylvania Oil and Gas Law and Practice, the only Pennsylvania specific treatise in this subject area, published by the George T. Bisel Company, Inc. (2012). www.bisel.com

His practice focuses primarily on title research and opinions relating to oil and gas, real property, and other mineral interests. He has served as lead counsel and second chair in Actions to Quiet Title that involve the disputed ownership of Subsurface rights in courtrooms across Pennsylvania.  He offers his services pro-bono to many mineral owners who cannot afford legal services and volunteers often as a presenter on unique oil and gas title issues for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute.
Jay grew up in center-city Philadelphia and received his undergraduate degree from Dickinson College with a major in Economics and a minor in Geology.  He enjoys spending time with his wife Laurie and young son Ayden as well as traveling, hiking, fishing, cycling and the occasional round of golf.  His hobbies include researching the history and nature of original land titles, fine wood-working, and the restoration of classic cars.

Professional Memberships: Pennsylvania Bar Association – Shale Energy Law Committee, American Association of Professional Landman and the Eastern Energy and Mineral Law Foundation.
