About Michael J
Michael J. Girardi studied political science as an undergraduate at Eckerd College, earning a B.A. in 2008. He went on to law school at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, where he received his J.D. in 2012. Those years framed his interest in public policy and the mechanics of litigation, and they led directly into a career in private practice.
He is licensed to practice in Pennsylvania. In 2013 he established the Law Office of Michael J. Girardi and began working as a solo practitioner. Running a one‑lawyer firm meant developing a hands‑on approach to nearly every part of the practice. He handled client intake, pleadings, court appearances and the administrative duties that keep a small office running.
Since 2013 he has been a member of the Pennsylvania Bar Association. That membership has kept him connected to developments in state court procedure and continuing legal education offerings. He also maintains the professional affiliations that are common for a practicing attorney in the state.
As a solo practitioner, Girardi’s daily work mixes client counseling and courtroom work. He manages files personally from start to finish and often serves as the main point of contact for clients. That arrangement requires both case management skills and frequent interaction with judges, opposing counsel and court staff. It also means he is responsible for the practical decisions that affect how a matter moves through the system.
The Law Office of Michael J. Girardi remains his base of operations. Though the office is small, it provides the flexibility common to solo practices: direct client access, tailored scheduling, and hands‑on file supervision. He continues to practice in Pennsylvania and focuses his work on serving individuals and businesses in the state.
