When Relationships and Results Matter

Clients have an uncanny way of recognizing the kind of high quality lawyering that they expect. Our long list of loyal clients is testament to the fact that we must be doing something right.

From its inception, McHenry & Horan has been a recognized force in the defense of professional liability and general personal injury litigation as well as ancillary business transactions including complex litigation and appellate practice. Our attorneys have helped to shape professional liability law in New York for decades. McHenry & Horan prides itself on discreet and intensely focused representation of our clients, and always strives to bring about the most favorable result possible in a cost-effective manner.

Being named as a defendant in any litigation is an emotionally charged and disruptive event in a client's personal life and professional practice. Recognizing these realities, the firm's attorneys personally communicate with the clients to guide them through the litigation process. They are kept fully apprised of all significant developments and strategies. Through this process of inclusion, the clients become an integral part of the defense team.

The firm's roots go back to 1983 as one of the most successful defense firms in New York State.

Our History

On May 1, 1983, Bob McHenry and Elizabeth Horan, a partner and associate of a major liability defense firm, respectively, opened McHenry & Horan, PC, along with other trial lawyers and associate attorneys. Both Bob and Elizabeth have extensive resumes of success in trial practice and appellate litigation. The firm existed as an independent entity until October of 2016 when McHenry & Horan, PC and Bower Law, PC merged, so the senior partners, long-term friends and colleagues, could practice together.

Following Mr. Bower’s, sudden and tragic death in September 2021, Bob & Elizabeth reopened the original firm on December 1, 2021, which continues its legacy as a successful, innovative and deeply experienced trial and appellate practice. We are delighted to have reopened with a full roster of former clients and active litigation files and have added new clients and matters under the current firm. Associate attorneys, experienced in the defense of civil liability claims, three of whom have extensive experience in trial practice, joined us in this venture which continues to expand and grow as the months elapse.

McHenry & Horan, P.C. is proud to continue its long history as a prominent and successful firm. The tenure of the firm since reopening has been marked by professional successes and personal gratification. We look forward to continuing our professional careers and accomplishments as we move toward the future with a growing panel of existing and new clients.

Our History

My outlook and approach to the law was shaped by my father who I was lucky enough to work with for many years. When he initially went into private practice he decided to specialize in defense litigation, knowing full well that the legal establishment snubbed its nose at this area of law. He felt that "first-rate lawyering was something there was room for in the negligence field."

With him as a mentor I was engrained with the concept that clients expect and deserve intelligent, aggressive, hard-nosed representation. I have made it my goal to instill these same notions in all of the attorneys in our office.

Today, McHenry & Horan is justifiably proud of its consistent track record of successfully defending complex medical malpractice and personal injury cases. Among the firms many strengths is its superior trial capability which combines the experience and talents of senior trial attorneys who have been leaders in defense litigation in courts throughout the greater New York City area for decades.
