Located at 835 West Fourth Street amidst and part of the Victorian homes of Williamsport, the firm presently enjoys the ambience of the best of Victorian architecture and living in the late 1800’s.  In spite of its age and history, the McCormick Law Firm is actively engaged in consistently remodeling itself to meet current demands for legal service by clients in a small metropolitan area of North Central Pennsylvania.
