Doug is a 1995 graduate of the University of Akron Law School and licensed to practice law in Pennsylvania, The United States Supreme Court, Middle District of Pennsylvania and The Third Circuit Court of Appeals.

In 2007 Doug’s family was approached to lease their Wayne County property and Doug took on the task of negotiating this large lease along with many neighboring properties totaling approximately 2,000 acres. Mostly through word of mouth, other Landowners began to reach out to Doug for assistance and experience in negotiating gas lease offers.

Doug found his calling and quickly made the decision to focus his practice on representing Landowners, and only Landowners, in negotiating all contracts related to Marcellus Shale and natural gas development in Pennsylvania. Doug has negotiated Oil and Gas Leases for hundreds upon hundreds of Landowners and has negotiated pipeline agreements with our 40 separate companies across Pennsylvania. Doug has also represented Landowners across Pennsylvania in negotiating Surface Use Agreements, Roadway Agreements, Meter Site Agreements, Compressor Station Agreements, Water Impoundment Agreements and many other contracts and matters related to natural gas development. Doug’s oil and gas practice expanded rapidly and continues to grow today to include all oil and gas related contracts, royalty issues and disputes, estate planning, and so much more.

In August of 2010 Doug began hosting his Landowner informational radio program, “All Things Marcellus”. Doug has recorded over 175 hours of programming which are indexed by topic and archived at: PAGASLEASEATTORNEY.COM.

Doug has a unique attorney background being raised adjacent to his grandparents’ farm in Armstrong County Pennsylvania where he worked during the summers spent with his grandfather. Through generations of family farmers and steel workers, Doug developed a deep appreciation and respect for the land and the importance of property ownership. Doug has an absolute commitment to Landowners and takes enormous pride in the work he has done on behalf Pennsylvania landowners.
