George’s law practice has taken him to farmhouses, municipal buildings and
courts around the Commonwealth. He appreciates Lancaster’s wonderful land
and is proud that part of his practice helps to agriculturally preserve the land
for future generations. Most of all, George enjoys working with people and
applying his legal training and experience.

“I like getting to know clients and addressing their needs in a professional and
cost-effective manner. Woodrow Wilson said that ‘One cool judgment is worth
a thousand hasty counsels.’ I strive to have my own judgments yield optimum results.”

When not practicing law, George is often gardening or running, most years including
the Red Rose Run. He and his wife and two sons also enjoy traveling, especially an
annual beach trip. George also appreciates crosswords and is taking up golf.
