Thomas L. Yoset was born and resides in Meadville, Pennsylvania, where the firm has its principal offices. He attended Dickinson College in Carlisle on a Pennsylvania Vocational Rehabilitation scholarship, majoring in mathematics with a minor in psychology. He graduated summa cum laude in 1973 and pursued graduate studies at Brown University, in Providence, Rhode Island, receiving his Master of Science degree in mathematics  in 1976.

Tom’s avocation is genealogy–the study of family history. In 1977, he co-founded the Crawford County Genealogical Society, and was the first editor of its journal, Crawford County Genealogy. He resumed that position from 1993 to 1997, during which time Crawford County Genealogy was ranked among the most scholarly genealogical periodicals in the world, and the only publication at the county level to be so recognized. Although no longer active in the Society, he maintains a web site dedicated to Crawford County genealogy at www.alltel.net/~yoset.

His genealogical research into courthouse records, in the late 1970s, led to land title research in connection with northwestern Pennsylvania’s then-flourishing oil and gas industry, and eventually to the formation of a title abstracting firm. Realizing his need for legal training, he entered New York University School of Law, in New York City, obtaining his J.D. degree in 1988. Having clerked the previous summer in Palm Beach County, Florida, he joined the Florida Bar and practiced commercial litigation for several years before returning to Meadville.

Mr. Yoset is a member of the Crawford County and Pennsylvania Bar Associations, and practices with the firm’s Arch Street office in the areas of business and family law, real estate, estates, immigration, and bankruptcy.
