About Anthony Michael
Anthony Michael Georgelis earned a Bachelor of Science in political science from the University of Richmond in 1992. He then moved to Pittsburgh, where he completed his legal studies at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, receiving his J.D. in 1995. Those years set the pattern for a career spent largely within Pennsylvania and in federal appellate work.
After law school, Georgelis entered the bar and began practicing in his home state. He is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania and to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Early in his career he joined several professional organizations, a step that reflected a steady involvement in the local legal community. He has been a member of the Pennsylvania Association for Justice, the Lancaster County Bar Association, and the Pennsylvania Bar Association since 1995.
His involvement in bar groups has been paired with community-oriented activity. From 2008 to 2013 he served as a scholarship sponsor for Kids Chance of Pennsylvania. That role placed him among donors and supporters who assist families and children affected by workplace injuries. The sponsorship work lasted several years and remains part of his public service record.
Georgelis has practiced through the Georgelis Law Office, P.C. The firm name has been the public face of his practice. Over time, his courtroom experience has included matters in state trial courts and in the federal appellate system. Colleagues describe him as steady and deliberate in how he handles filings and oral argument, preferring to keep the record clear and the courtroom routine predictable.
He has maintained long-standing ties to Lancaster County’s legal community while also handling matters that require appellate review in the Third Circuit. Those dual lanes of practice — local courtroom work and federal appeals — shape how he prepares cases. He tends to approach files with attention to procedure and to the appellate posture they may assume if matters are contested beyond the trial court.
In the office, Georgelis balances casework with the administrative demands of running a small law firm. He supervises filings, directs litigation strategy, and manages client communications. He remains active in the associations that have marked his professional life since the mid-1990s. He concentrates his practice at Georgelis Law Office, P.C., representing clients in Pennsylvania state courts and in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
