A Vision for a Different Kind of Law Firm

By 2005, Tony had convinced the law firm he was with to open a Lancaster branch to better serve the community he had called “home” for over 35 years. Even though he headed up the Lancaster office, there was still something missing. Tony had his own vision of what would make the best personal injury and workers’ compensation law firm in Central Pennsylvania—a vision he could not implement as part of the status quo. While Tony was grateful for the opportunity he had been given with the York firm, in his heart, he knew he could best serve the people of York, Lancaster and beyond by creating his own legal institution, from the ground up; a law firm that was built upon a foundation of highly skilled attorneys and paralegals, who also share the ideals, values, principles, and compassion that is unique to the wonderful people of Central Pennsylvania.  

The Georgelis Family Launches Their Own Law Firm

So, in early 2005, Tony approached Tanya with the idea of starting their own injury and accident law firm. With Tanya’s expertise in numbers and the business side of things, and Tony’s 10 years of experience advocating for those hurt by others, he knew that they could realize this vision. At the time, the market for personal injury firms was already saturated—believe it or not, only a fraction of what it is now—but that did not deter Tony and Tanya. Despite the tremendous financial sacrifice and the risks posed by leaving the security of his position with the York firm, Tony and Tanya opened Georgelis Law Firm, P.C. on April 25, 2005.

The Evolution into GLS Injury Law

Now, after 21 years of existence, the firm is known as GLS INJURY LAW (Georgelis, Larsen, Sabatino) and has become a legal powerhouse among Central Pennsylvania’s personal injury and workers’ compensation firms. TJ and Chris have joined Tony as equity partners, with all three having an ownership interest in the practice, and GLS Injury Law has physical (not virtual) office locations in East Hempfield, Lancaster City, York, and West Chester. GLS Injury Law has helped thousands of people fight big insurance companies and recover the maximum compensation they and their families deserve. Tony, TJ, and Chris have been consistently voted Lancaster’s “Best Injury and Accident Lawyers” by multiple publications, and they are members of the most prestigious and elite trial lawyers’ associations in the United States.

A Legacy Built on Client Trust and Results

Tony and Tanya look back on the last two decades with tremendous pride and comfort. They know that each and every high, low, and in-between accompanying their journey has been an integral part of the growth and development of the firm and forged GLS into the legal force it is today. However, it is not the awards, accolades, or personal achievements that mean the most to them. They are most proud of the firm’s 300 Google Reviews with a 5-star average rating—because what drives them and the team at GLS is, and always will be, the impact they have made on their clients’ lives.

An Ongoing Commitment to Pennsylvania Clients

Today, just as every day for the past 21 years and counting, Tony and Tanya’s message and promise to the people of Central Pennsylvania is the same: no one will take care of you like we do at GLS.
