About George E.
George E. Mehalchick began his academic path at Pennsylvania State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in 1972. He returned to formal study later and took his law degree from Vermont Law School, graduating with a J.D. in 1988. Those two institutions provided the foundation for a long career that spans state and federal courts.
His practice has included appearances before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. He is also admitted to practice in Pennsylvania and New York. That mix of state and federal admissions has allowed him to handle matters that cross jurisdictional lines.
Mehalchick’s professional affiliations are extensive. He maintains memberships in the Pennsylvania State Bar, the Pennsylvania Bar Association and the Lackawanna County Bar Association. He is also a member of the New York State Bar Association and the American Bar Association. National organizations figure in his roster as well, including the Association of Trial Lawyers of America and the National Organization of Social Security Claims Representatives. He belongs to the Pennsylvania Association for Justice. Those memberships reflect steady involvement in the broader legal community over many years.
His work record includes service at Lenahan & Dempsey P.C., where he has been listed as part of the firm’s roster. Over time he has handled matters that required litigation skills in both state and federal forums. He has argued cases, prepared filings and worked on appeals in the federal system. He has also taken on cases governed by state law and administrative processes that implicate federal benefits.
Colleagues describe his courtroom approach as methodical. He tends to break complex topics into clear points for judges and juries. That practical style shows in written briefs and oral argument alike. His range of court admissions suggests familiarity with procedural rules at multiple levels.
Outside the courtroom his memberships have kept him connected to professional developments and continuing legal education. He has participated in association activities and engaged with specialist groups that focus on trial practice and social security claims.
Today he practices at Lenahan & Dempsey P.C., where he continues to represent clients in matters that may involve federal appeals, district court litigation, and state-level proceedings. His current practice focuses on litigation in state and federal courts, including appeals and administrative claims.
