Oil & Gas / Corporate

I have been a client of Jack Wilhelm for 10 years and I have always found him to be a trusted, knowledgeable adviser. Jack works quickly to resolve any issues that I have.

Review of Oil & Gas Leases

Jack Wilhelm has provided excellent advice and services regarding oil and gas leases that were part of my parents' estate. I have complete trust in his ability to read and help me understand the details of the lease agreements

Probate Will and transfer of property

Mr. Wilhelm probated a complicated will for our family. He did a superb job. He met with U.S. personally and kept us continually informed on the progress of the process. On another occasion he assisted us in the transfer of real estate from one family member to another. He is knowledgeable and profes...sional. We can recommend him without reservation.

Legal help on deed of trust

Mr. Wilhelm was extremely knowledgeable, his firm drafted the required documentation in an urgent fashion and he counseled us in a patient, professional and gracious manner. I feel that we were well served and I would recommend Jack M. Wilhelm without reservation.

Expert Oil Gas Mineral Estate Attorney

Jack he prefers not to be called Mr Wilhelm is The Best. I felt honored to be able to afford such an expert. He not only represented my best interest in mineral matters but also helped me settle debts for a fraction of the full amount of judgements my former attorney left me with Jack is what all at...torneys should be. However be sure to check your email & keep an eye on your watch if you enter into a casual conversation in his won words "I don't work for free" He was worth every dollar however. He saved me thousands! Thank you Jack

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I wish every lawyer I encountered was as much of a pleasure to work with as Jack. I have worked with him on a few different matters and every time his counsel to clients has been sound, thoughtful, thorough, mindful of cost, and ethical. We need more lawyers like Jack. Thankfully, his son Edward who works with him is equally as wonderful so if Jack is on vacation he even has a good backup in place."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
