About Jesse

A native of Washington County, Pennsylvania, White attended Beth-Center High School and later graduated from Washington & Jefferson College in Washington, Pennsylvania with a degree in political science. After college, in 2003, he earned his juris doctor from the prestigious Duquesne University School of Law in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Later that same year, Jesse was elected to the Cecil Township Board of Supervisors – and at 23, he was the youngest member ever to be seated. In 2004, he founded The Law Offices of Jesse White, which was located on Millers Run Road in Cecil Township - retaining the practice after being elected to represent the 46th Legislative District in the State House of Representatives two (2) years later.

During his eight-year tenure in the Legislature, Jesse emerged as a leader for issues related to Marcellus Shale – and his fiery and aggressive style made him an outspoken and unapologetic advocate for the people of Southwestern Pennsylvania, as well as their property rights. He stood up against the big oil and gas companies as a state representative, and now he continues on in that watchdog role for clients who are fighting for fair leases, right-of-ways and other agreements with Marcellus Shale companies.

In 2015, he moved his law office from Cecil to McDonald – and he invites you to stop in and say hello and check out the new office. Jesse and his wife, Eileen, reside in Cecil Township with their two young sons, Atticus and Augustus. The family also includes a menagerie of pets, including dogs Abigail and Delano, and their feline friends, Molly and Woodrow.
